Wide Format & Production

One page a minute is no way to print a 200-sheet plan set

“The site super needed the full plan set by 6 a.m. and our old plotter crawled, then jammed. ADS put in wide format that just works, and now printing isn't the thing I dread.”

, Commercial general contractor

A Morris County general contractor lives and dies by the plan set. Architectural and structural drawings have to be on the job site before the crew shows up, and their aging plotter turned that into an all-night ordeal: one page a minute, and a paper jam that could wipe out an entire scan.

The problem

When the device that starts every project is the slowest thing in the building, the whole schedule bends around it. Late prints meant a coordinator standing at the machine at midnight, and a jam meant starting the whole job over.

What we did

We matched them to a reliable wide-format setup sized to their plan volume, set it up so it won’t pull a sheet unless it’s aligned, and trained the staff on site. Roll media and supplies are on hand and delivered same or next day, so they never gamble on a deadline.

The result

Full plan sets now print in minutes, not overnight. Jams stopped eating scans. And the coordinator got their evenings back.

“It went from the worst part of my day to something I don’t think about,” they said. “That’s the whole point, right?”
