24×36 ARCH D is what most Lee County permit offices expect, and we print it at true scale. We also print every other size in both standards, ARCH A through E and ANSI A through E, with the price for each one published below.
Every ARCH A–E and ANSI A–E size prices off this same square-foot rate. Full table below.
We print the full ARCH A–E and ANSI A–E range. Everything runs off the same square-foot rate, so there is no size that costs extra for being unusual. Prices below are per sheet at 1–24 sheets; 25–99 sheets takes about 7% off and 100+ takes 10%.
| Size | Dimensions | B&W | Color | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARCH A | 9 × 12 in | $0.56 | $1.31 | Detail callouts and small reference sheets |
| ARCH B | 12 × 18 in | $1.13 | $2.63 | Half-size sets and field copies |
| ARCH C | 18 × 24 in | $2.25 | $5.25 | Residential remodels and smaller permit sets |
| ARCH D | 24 × 36 in | $4.50 | $10.50 | The default for full construction drawings |
| ARCH E | 36 × 48 in | $9.00 | $21.00 | Civil site plans and large commercial drawings |
| Size | Dimensions | B&W | Color | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ANSI A | 8.5 × 11 in | $0.49 | $1.14 | Letter-size details and cut sheets |
| ANSI B | 11 × 17 in | $0.98 | $2.28 | Tabloid half-size sets for the truck |
| ANSI C | 17 × 22 in | $1.95 | $4.55 | Mid-size engineering drawings |
| ANSI D | 22 × 34 in | $3.90 | $9.09 | The ANSI equivalent of ARCH D |
| ANSI E | 34 × 44 in | $7.79 | $18.18 | Large engineering and civil sets |
Small sizes run on standard equipment rather than the wide-format rolls, but the rate is the same either way. Mixed-size orders are fine: we split the file and run each size at its own dimensions, and the whole order counts toward one volume tier.
ARCH sizes come from architectural drafting; ANSI sizes come from engineering drafting. ARCH D is 24×36 and ANSI D is 22×34, which is close enough that a copy shop running everything through fit-to-page will hand you a set that looks right and measures wrong. A drawing set at 1/4" = 1'-0" and printed 8% small is worthless to an inspector with a scale rule.
We print each at its true dimensions. If a set arrives with mixed ARCH and ANSI sheets, we split it and run each at its own size rather than forcing one standard across the whole file.
Every job runs at 100% with fit-to-page, shrink-to-fit and auto-rotate turned off. Before a large set runs we print one sheet and check the scale bar against a rule. If your source PDF was exported at the wrong size, that check is where it surfaces, and you get a call before we run the other twenty-nine sheets.
CAD drawings and blueprints run on a 36-inch roll printer, which covers everything through ARCH E at full width. Coated and presentation work runs on a 44-inch machine. Both are owned outright and sit in the store, which is why turnaround is measured in hours instead of transit days.
ARCH D is 24 inches by 36 inches. It is the most common size for architectural, structural and MEP drawings and the default for most permit submittals in Southwest Florida.
ARCH sizes (ARCH A 9×12 through ARCH E 36×48) come from architectural drafting. ANSI sizes (ANSI A 8.5×11 through ANSI E 34×44) come from engineering drafting. ARCH D is 24×36 and ANSI D is 22×34, close enough that printing one on the other looks right and measures wrong. We print the full ARCH A–E and ANSI A–E range at true dimensions.
Yes. We print at 100% with fit-to-page turned off, so a drawing set at 1/4" = 1'-0" measures 1/4" on the sheet.
Yes. ARCH E prints across the full 36-inch roll width at 48 inches long. It is the standard choice for civil site plans and large commercial drawings. ANSI E at 34×44 fits the same roll with room to spare.
Yes, ARCH A through ARCH E and ANSI A through ANSI E. All of them price off the same square-foot rate, so an unusual size costs no more than a common one of the same area.
