Printing Larger Station Plans

Post by Bryan Hansel »

Anyone know of a good and cheap online store that will print station plans on paper 24"x36" or 16"x20"? I can only get 11x17" in town, so the best I can do is shown below. I'm 1/32" off in places despite my best efforts. But I'd hate to have to do that for every form. Thanks. Image

I wonder if someone like Mondrian-Hall would print & ship? I've had their local office print topo maps for me, black & white. But I'm not sure if the accuracy is good enough for station plans? Probably it is. I guess it might not hurt to call or e-mail them. Mondrian is something we have in town, probably there are similar companies on your side of the border and if they are not exactly lodal, maybe they will be willing to ship to you.
Cheers,
Bryan S.

By the way, I have to get some maps printed there in the next week or so. If you talk to their Saskatoon office & see if they can do it, I could pick up the station plans, stuff them in a tube or envelope & mail them to you. PM or email me if you want to pursue that.

Hi Bryan
I've taken plans to enlarge and copy to a college town.
Find a bigger town, they copied and enlarged while I waited, ten minutes.
Cost was about 4$.
