Why CAD and technical drawings need different printing to posters
Plans and CAD drawings are a different job entirely to a decorative poster, even though both can end up at the same large sizes. What matters here isn't vibrant colour or bold design, it's sharp, accurate reproduction of fine lines, dimensions and technical detail, since a blurred or misaligned line on an architectural or engineering drawing can genuinely cause a mistake on site.
Most plans are printed in black and white or a single colour, reflecting the line-based nature of CAD and technical drawings rather than full-colour photographic work. Standard technical sizes, A0 and A1 in particular, are the most common formats we see from architects, engineers and students submitting coursework.
Standard sizes for architectural and engineering plans
Because plans are working documents as much as finished pieces, we can print single copies for a site visit or larger batches for a full set of contract drawings. If accuracy and scale are critical for your drawing, let us know before printing so we can check the file is set up correctly.
Checking scale accuracy before printing
Scale accuracy is critical for a technical drawing in a way it simply isn't for a decorative poster, so before printing, double-check your file is set up at the correct scale for its intended size, an error here can mean measurements taken directly off the printed plan are wrong.
For a full set of contract or site drawings, we can print multiple sheets consistently so scale and line weight match across the whole set, which matters if drawings from the same set are going to be compared or used together on site.
If you need to fold rather than roll your printed plans for filing or transport, let us know, a standard engineering fold keeps the title block visible on the outside, which makes plans much easier to find again in a drawer full of folded sheets.
About Plans Printing and CAD Drawings
Order plans printing and cad drawings from Star Printers in Tooting, London. Use the price options above as a guide, then contact us if you need a different size, paper or finish. We will check what is practical for your artwork and deadline before production.
Posters are used for everything from event promotion and retail displays to presentations, exhibitions and wall art. The right choice depends on where the poster will be seen and from how far away: a poster viewed close up in a shop window can use a smaller size and finer detail, while one displayed at a distance benefits from a larger size and bolder design. Paper weight and finish, including a more durable non-tearable stock, affect both appearance and how well the poster holds up if it is handled or displayed outdoors.
