Important considerations for plan printing

Plans need to be correctly scaled for the desired size before being printed. The right paper or material, as well as the capability of the printer, can make a big difference in the quality and accuracy of the printed plan.

In many cases, the plans not only have to meet business and client standards but also legal requirements. For example, architectural plans will be subject to local building codes and regulations.

This is why it’s incredibly important to ensure that plans are vetted, approved, and proofed multiple times before submitting them for printing, to avoid costly project delays.

You can drop into your local MBE Centre with a memory stick, hard drive, or copy of the plan that you want to scan.

We also provide a quick and easy way to send us your file online. This will save you from needing to transport any difficult-to-carry objects. Plus, we’ll be able to have your plans ready by the time you enter the store!

Why Choose Us

Plan Printing FAQs?

Absolutely. Generally, this is a more expensive service than printing a simplified line drawing.

Please let the team know if you need your plans urgently and they’ll let you know the shipping options available. We use an extensive courier network to ensure speedy delivery.

Normally, it’s not a problem to scale a file up or down. However, we’re not able to fix any scale or resolution inaccuracies that may appear as a result. If you need a specific scale, please tell us.

Most plan print orders can be completed the same or the next day. You may be required to pay a rapid turnaround fee.

Due to the specialised software we use, we prefer to print PDFs. If you have another file type, talk to us about converting it.
