Reprographics 101 is now in the process of conducting two different Surveys. A.  Survey about Wide-Format A/E/C Plan Printing Equipment: This Survey is open to participation by all Reprographers, whether they are located in the U.S. or outside of the U.S. This Survey relates to wide-format printing equipment, specifically limited to wide-format equipment designed to…

With the apparent decline in the volume of A/E/C wide-format printing, one wonders who’s buying wide-format systems and, for those who have been buying wide-format print systems, what brands and models they’ve been buying.  I sure wish the APDSP would conduct a survey on that issue and publish the results.  On the high to medium…

First, a question for Reprographers.  If you offer a web-based planroom service, does your planroom connect to, is it compatible with, a web-based takeoff/estimating software technology? In a previous post on the Repro 101 Blog this morning, I posted information about SmartBidNet.  On SmartBidNet’s web-site, they mention “STACK”, one of their partners.  I decided to…

Reprographers, if you are offering web-based planroom services (and most reprographers are), how does your service stack up against the services offered by companies (like SmartBidNet) who offer online planroom services as a part of an extensive offering of other construction-project bid management services? Evidently, SmartBidNet did not develop the web-based planroom service it offers…

It is not common for reprographers to publish pricing on their web-sites. That said, there are a couple of “Internet-based” reprographers (plans4less.com and blueprintsprinting.com) that do.  And LDIReproprinting, a chain of franchised reprographics shops in the southeastern U.S., has always published its pricing on its web-site. Pricing for printing A/E plans may not be transparent…

 Yesterday, I had a conversation on the phone with a guy whose company has developed two different (but related) products – one of those products is a cloud-based document management service for A/E/C drawings – the other product is an electronic display device (so, hardware) for displaying A/E/C drawings (and it can be used to…

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the August ABI score was 49.7, down from the mark of 51.5 in the previous month. This score reflects a decrease in design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry index was 61.8, up sharply from a reading of 57.5 the…
