Our prices are based upon the square footage of the drawings. See our Table of Prices (pdf file) for more details.

Services WMW Reprographics Offers

  • Produce Digital Blueprints

oce

With our Océ TDS800 digital printers, we can print up to 36" wide monochrome prints very quickly. These printers each output at the rate of 42 linear feet per minute (about 21 D size per minute).

Typically, we print from user supplied .PDF files. The most economical way of submitting these is to put all of your drawings into a single PDF file. In addition, we print from CAD programs on both the Macintosh and PC platform, supporting MiniCad, Vectorworks, PowerCadd, PowerDraw, and of course AutoCad.

In addition to regular bond prints, we offer vellum, mylar, presentation bond (a heavier bond which takes markers well), and "wear & tear" (a waterproof and nearly indestructible media for outdoor use). As well, we offer tinted bond in yellow, green, pink and blue. The tinted bonds can make it far easier to distinguish different issues of prints, for example, issued for construction on yellow makes it easy to see who has the right prints on site.

Printing is done done roll stock on these machines in either 36", 34", 30", 28", 24", 22", 18" or 17", but the Océ will cut the length at any point, so your drawing does not need to be a standard size, so long as it is one of the above widths.

  • Plot Colour Drawings

colorwave
With our brand new Oce ColorWave 650 we have the capability to print affordable sets of colour drawings at high speed on 20lb bond print paper. Additionally, we have a 28lb Presentation Bond paper which has a brighter finish and heavier weight to it, and a SemiGloss Photo base paper. 


5000
For those of you who have a need for it, we have Inkjet Presentation Bond. This pa
per is a clay coated bond, a 27 lb. brilliant white stock. This 27 lb. stock is treated so that the inks will not run if the paper gets wet. We also offer textured bond (linen and pebble), photographic paper, 40 lb. cardstock, clear film, backlit film, and watercolour paper.

We also have a Cannon Image Runner colour copier, connected to our network via a Fiery interface, allowing us to produce colour documents up to 11" x 17" in quantity.
