Online Blueprint Printers Compared

By Eli Gewirtzman, Owner · Checked Oct 22–23, 2026 · Updated Nov 4, 2026

We compared what eleven online blueprint printers, ourselves included, offer: order cutoff, how sizes are priced, minimum order, paper, sizes, color and shipping terms. Every fact comes from each printer’s own website, checked on October 22, 2026 (4:28 to 4:34 PM ET), with Print 4K and FedEx Office added on October 23, 2026 (8:52 AM ET); Rapid Blueprint (9:33 AM ET) and BlueprintsPrinting (6:25 PM ET) were added on November 4, 2026. Prices change often, so for other printers we link their own pricing page instead of copying numbers.

PDF files print true to scale. Prepare the file at the intended physical dimensions and choose the matching sheet size. Check the drawing’s stated dimensions before using a print for measurement.

Print My Plans charges one price at every size: $1.95 per sheet black & white, $3.75 color, from 17×22, 18×24, 22×34, 24×36, 30×42 and 36×48, on 20 lb bond, with no minimum order. Orders placed by 3 PM ET on business days ship the same day. Delivery depends on your destination and the shipping option selected at checkout; transit times are estimates.

Where Print My Plans differs

  • Later cutoff than most. Our cutoff is 3 PM ET. Of the other printers that list a shipping cutoff, two (East Coast Blueprints, Azul Prints) list 12 PM, The Plan Printer lists 1 PM ET for most orders, Plans4Less says orders after 2 PM ET may not ship the same day, and one (OrderBlueprints) lists 4 PM ET. Staples’ 12 PM is for same-day store pickup. Print 4K’s 12 PM is for prints ready the same day, FedEx Office’s noon CST is for same-day pickup, and Rapid Blueprint’s 3 PM ET is for same-day rush orders (+$25). BlueprintsPrinting lists 11 AM local time for same-business-day printing and shipping.
  • One price at every size. None of the ten other printers lists a single price across all its sizes. Our $1.95 B&W and $3.75 color are the same from 17×22, 18×24, 22×34, 24×36, 30×42 and 36×48.
  • Color without coverage tiers. Color is $3.75 per sheet at every size. The other printers that list color price it by size, by how much of the sheet is covered, or both.
  • No minimum order. Print one sheet or a full set at the same per-sheet price.

How to compare a whole order

  1. Price the size you actually print. At most printers the per-sheet price changes with size.
  2. Check how color is charged. Several printers price color by how much of the page is covered, so the same set can bill at two or three rates.
  3. Add shipping for your address and deadline. Free-shipping thresholds and cutoff times differ.
  4. Check the files they accept and whether they print to scale from your PDF.
