We support the following file formats for large document black and white plotting/reproduction:

AUTOCAD files
When sending drawing files please send all AUTOCAD and/or TrueType fonts, associated "xref" files. The
'pack and go' method is the best way to send files to Blair.

Plot files
When preparing plot files, the preferred driver is the Hewlett Packard 755CM plotter (HpGL2 format).

Plot set-ups vary from version to version, please contact our large format B&W department for more details or for support.

TIFF/CALS files
We accept Group IV compressed TIFF/CALS format, Adobe PDF, and PostScript Level 1. We also support all of the most commonly used graphic file formats. You may incur additional fees if file conversion is required. Contact our large format B&W department for file type recommendations.

Macintosh CAD applications
Our trained staff will show you how to transform your native files into plot-ready documents. contact our large format B&W department for more details.

.Vic files
Blair Graphics offers a free compression software called ReproDesk. Reprodesk takes your .plt files created from AutoCAD and converts them to a compressed printable file format similar to a .pdf or .eps.

The ReproDesk .vic file captures all required information including fonts and pen settings and uploads it to Blair Graphics. When you click to submit your order, our large format black and white department receives an automatically generated work order with your request. Contact a Blair Reprographics specialist to get your free copy of ReproDesk today!

If you are using our online ordering system, EWO and need to send printable AutoCAD files, the Autodesk.com website offers an AUTOCAD .vic driver to save your drawings directly as .vic files.
