Common questions
Quick answers to what most architects, engineers, and contractors ask before placing a first order.
See all FAQs → · or email us / call (929) 464-5714
How should I prep my PDF before uploading?
Export your file as a single PDF at 1:1 scale — do not "shrink to fit" or "scale to printable area." If you're printing a 24″×36″ ARCH D sheet, the PDF page size should be 24″×36″ exactly. Embed all fonts. Flatten layers if your CAD software supports it. We print exactly what you upload.
When do I need B&W vs. full color?
For most architectural and construction plan sets, B&W 20# bond is the standard and is what permit reviewers expect. Use color only for color-coded plans (e.g., MEP coordination), rendered drawings, or presentations. Color is billed per page and at two rates: line work is about 2.4× B&W; heavy-coverage pages — renderings, colored elevations, filled site plans — are priced for the ink they use. Black-and-white has a heavy rate too, for grey-scale ink on 15%+ of the sheet — a rendering, photo or shaded presentation board; line-work plan, detail and notes sheets stay at the B&W rate. Don't pay for color on pages that don't carry it.
Are your prints scale-accurate?
Yes. We use calibrated large-format plotters designed for architectural and engineering output. If you upload a 24″×36″ PDF and order ARCH D, it prints at exactly 24″×36″ — measure it with a scale. If a print arrives off-scale, we reprint at no charge.
Can you fold and bind plan sets?
Yes. We offer accordion-fold, stapling, 3-hole punch, and binding. Add these in the finishing options when you order, or include them in your quote request.
How fast will my order ship — and arrive?
Order by noon ET on a business day and we ship the same day via UPS for next-day delivery. UPS Ground transit is 1 business day everywhere from New York to Washington DC and Northern Virginia, 2 days to New England and the rest of Virginia, and 2–3 days to most of the Southeast. Need it overnight to a farther state? Choose UPS Next Day Air at checkout.
How do you protect the confidentiality of my drawings?
All uploaded files are treated as confidential. Access is limited to the production staff who fulfill your order. Files are stored on access-controlled servers. If your firm requires a signed NDA before you send files, email info@ecblueprints.com and we'll send one before you upload anything.
What if a print arrives damaged or wrong?
Email us within 7 days with a photo. If it's our error (smearing, wrong size, wrong paper, wrong quantity, missing pages we were sent), we reprint and reship at no charge, or refund the full order at your choice. See our Terms of Service.
