B&W or color
When a black and white set is enough, and when a sheet needs color. The price is per sheet, any size.
Black and white
Black and white is $1.95 per sheet. Use it for linework, dimensions, and a full permit or bid set that reads in one color. The price is the same at every size we print, from 17×22 through 36×48. A larger sheet is not a higher rate.
Most construction sets are black and white. Walls, dimensions, notes, and a title block do not need color to be readable in the field. If the whole PDF is linework, order black and white for every page and keep the set at $1.95 a sheet.
PDF is the file we print. Export the drawing at 100 percent, at the sheet size you want, and upload that PDF. We print the pages in the file. We do not redraw line weights or convert a color PDF to black and white unless you order black and white for that sheet.
Color
Color is $3.75 per sheet. Use it when the drawing depends on color: a legend, a markup, or a phasing plan. A color sheet is still one flat price at any size. A 36×48 color sheet is $3.75, the same as an 18×24 color sheet.
You can mix color sheets and black and white sheets in one order. A cover sheet with a color legend can be color while the floor plans stay black and white. Each sheet is priced on its own, $1.95 or $3.75, and they still ship together.
Look at the thumbnails after upload. Each page shows whether it is set to black and white or color, along with the page number and the sheet size. Change a page before you pay if the legend needs color and the rest of the set does not.
What the price does not change
The rate is per sheet, not per square foot and not per ink color beyond black and white versus color. Print My Plans prints blueprints and plan sets. There is no extra charge because the sheet is 30×42 instead of 24×36. Count pages in the PDF, then multiply by $1.95 or $3.75.
Order by 3 PM ET and the order ships the same day on a business day. Prints ship rolled in a tube, whether the set is black and white, color, or a mix. Orders over $95 ship free by 2-day air to the lower 48 states. A mixed set still counts toward that $95 on the print total.
Print My Plans is in Toms River, NJ. If the wrong sheets were printed in color, or a color legend did not print, you have 7 days after delivery to ask for a refund or a reprint. Email support@printmyplans.com or call (732) 701-7919.
Choosing for the people who read the set
A permit reviewer and a crew on site usually need the linework, and black and white at $1.95 a sheet is the set for that. A client meeting or a phasing plan that uses color to separate work is the reason to pay $3.75 for those sheets only. You do not have to print the whole PDF in color to keep one legend readable.
The sheet size and the color choice are separate. ARCH D is 24×36 either way. ANSI D is 22×34 either way. Pick the size that matches the PDF page, then pick black and white or color for that page. The flat rate means the size decision is about scale, not about a higher price.
Same-day shipping is the 3 PM ET cutoff on business days. The tube is how the sheets leave Toms River. Free 2-day air is for print orders over $95 to the lower 48. If you are unsure whether a page should be color, call (732) 701-7919 or email support@printmyplans.com before you pay, and keep the PDF page that shows the legend.
