Plot printing is large-format printing of technical drawings — CAD plans, architectural blueprints, engineering schematics, P&ID diagrams and topographical maps — at sizes A2 and above on matte coated bond paper. Architects, civil and M&E engineers, surveyors and construction project teams use plot printing for site drawings, submission sets and presentation boards.
At Orange Print, we plot from PDF, DWG and TIFF files on matte coated 95gsm paper using a Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 at up to 2,400 × 1,200 dpi. Sharp lines, accurate scaling, true-to-CAD colour. The same machine is a multi-function unit — so we also handle large-format copying and large-format scanning under one roof in Sembawang. If you also need to digitise existing physical drawings, contact us for more details.
A recent example from our production floor: an M&E consultancy in the north of Singapore sent us a 22-sheet A1 colour drawing set for an HDB upgrading submission. File confirmed by 11 am Tuesday, full set collected by 9 am Wednesday. They’ve since set up a monthly invoice account for ongoing submissions across three live projects.
Plot printing at Orange Print is priced per sheet by paper size and quantity tier. A2 starts at S$1.00 in black & white and S$2.00 in colour. A1 is S$2.00 (B&W) or S$4.00 (colour). A0 is S$4.00 (B&W) or S$8.00 (colour). Volume discounts apply automatically at 10, 51 and 100 sheets.
| Size | Qty 1–9 | Qty 10–50 | Qty 51–99 | Qty 100–200 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 | S$1.00 | S$1.00 | S$0.90 | S$0.80 |
| A1 | S$2.00 | S$1.50 | S$1.20 | S$1.00 |
| A0 | S$4.00 | S$3.00 | S$2.00 | S$1.50 |
| Size | Qty 1–9 | Qty 10–50 | Qty 51–99 | Qty 100–200 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 | S$2.00 | S$2.00 | S$1.50 | S$1.20 |
| A1 | S$4.00 | S$3.00 | S$2.00 | S$1.50 |
| A0 | S$8.00 | S$5.00 | S$4.00 | S$3.00 |

Plot printing at Orange Print uses matte coated 95gsm paper as standard — bright white, ink-receptive, folds cleanly for transport on site. The matte coating gives line drawings a sharp finish without glare under typical site lighting. Suitable for both CAD/engineering drawings and architectural presentation plans.
Output specification: up to 2,400 × 1,200 dpi on our Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 five-colour pigment ink system. Pigment ink resists fading and humidity better than dye ink — useful for drawings that sit in site folders or submission sets for weeks. Line weights down to 0.1 mm render at full sharpness.
Standard plot printing turnaround at Orange Print is 2–3 working days at no surcharge. That covers most CAD plot jobs — submission sets, IFC drawings, archive copies, walkthrough plans. Our Sembawang facility at Nordcom 2 is the collection point — about 8 minutes’ drive from Sembawang MRT.
For faster turnaround — next-day or same-day — contact us first. Phone, WhatsApp or email before booking. We need to confirm press capacity for your date and check that your file is print-ready before we commit to a tight timeline. Rush orders carry a 20% surcharge on the standard price (after volume discount, before GST).
For walk-in single sheets (1–3 A1 plots), we can usually produce them in 15–30 minutes during business hours if the file is printable on arrival.
Architects, civil engineers, M&E consultants, urban planners, interior designers and survey teams make up most of our plot printing volume. Students from SUTD, NUS, NTU and Lasalle also order single-sheet A1 and A0 prints for thesis presentations and final-year project submissions — the calculator handles single sheets just as easily as 100-piece firm runs.
“Tested three shops for our HDB submission set. Orange Print was the only one who took my Revit-exported PDF and didn’t email back asking me to re-export. Collected the next morning.”

If you have a multi-sheet drawing set or a non-standard job that doesn’t fit the calculator, contact us directly and we’ll quote within the same working day.
Plot printing files at Orange Print should be supplied as flattened PDF, AutoCAD DWG (2010 or later) or TIFF. Match the page size in the file to your selected print size (A2, A1 or A0) so we don’t have to rescale. Embed all fonts or convert text to outlines. Use CMYK colour mode for colour plots; grayscale for B&W.
If you’re working in Revit (.rvt), MicroStation (.dgn) or SketchUp (.skp), export to PDF before submission. We can open most engineering source files but PDF is the most predictable.
If a file fails our pre-flight check, we email you within 2 working hours with what needs fixing — no charge for the check.
Plot printing, plotter printing, CAD printing and blueprint printing all refer to the same service in Singapore: large-format inkjet printing of technical drawings on bond paper. “Plot” comes from the original pen-plotter machines. “Plotter” describes the machine. “CAD” describes the source software. “Blueprint” is the legacy term from cyanotype prints. At Orange Print, all four terms get you to the same product.
Yes. Our Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 is a multi-function unit, so we handle plot printing, large-format copying and large-format scanning all in-house at Sembawang. If you have an existing physical drawing that needs to be digitised or duplicated, contact us for more details — same Sembawang collection point, same working-day turnaround on most jobs.
There’s no minimum order. The price calculator works for a single sheet just as accurately as 100 sheets. For corporate accounts with regular monthly volume, we set up invoice-based accounts with consolidated billing — contact us to arrange this.
Our Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 with five-colour pigment ink produces up to 2,400 × 1,200 dpi prints on matte coated 95gsm paper with high colour accuracy. Pigment ink also resists fading better than dye ink — relevant for drawings that sit in submission folders or on site for weeks. For exact colour matching against a Pantone reference or RGB swatch, send the reference with your file and we’ll do a test plot first — no charge for the test sheet.
