1. How do I place my order?
For faster turnaround and a smooth process, we recommend
our online ordering system EWO.
EWO generates your work order automatically, getting your
project through the shop more quickly.
If you like, you can email your files to our CAD department
copycad@blairgfx.com,
or send digital files to us using EWO.
If you must send hard copy, use EWO
to request a pick-up.

3. How do I set up a plot file from CAD
programs?
You will need to use an HPGL or HPGL2 printer driver, like
the DesignJet 755CM C3198A, which can be found on the Autocad
disk. We can also print B&W tiff, and dwg files as well.
If you so request we would be happy to fax you an AutoCAD
configuration sheet to assist you.

9. How do I transform native files to
plot ready docs?
From your desktop or CAD application, select a plot dialog
(driver). For black & white or color plotting, we recommend
the Hewlett Packard
755 plot driver (download). Mac users either make
a pidf. or if you do not have Adobe Acrobat or distiller,
save your document as a postscript file using the HP DesignJet
Postscript Plot Driver.
