Technical Printing and CAD Plotting in Ashford for Architects, Engineers and Site Teams

Technical printing is about accuracy first: a plan that is a few millimetres out at A0 is a plan that cannot be scaled from on site. Our wide-format equipment in Ashford prints directly from PDF, DWF, HPGL and other standard CAD formats at true 1:1 or custom ratios, with crisp line work, correct line weights and calibrated colour for survey maps and colour-coded drawings. Files are checked before printing, and multi-sheet projects can be batch plotted as a set.

Standard sizes are A0 (841 x 1189mm), A1 (594 x 841mm) and A2 (420 x 594mm), in black and white or full colour, with custom sizes and oversize rolls for drawings that do not fit a standard sheet. Paper choices run from plain bond for working copies, to heavyweight paper, tracing paper and photo-quality stock for presentations. Prints that need to survive site conditions can be laminated in gloss or matt, fully encapsulated for outdoor use, or mounted on foam board or rigid board.

Architects, engineers, surveyors and contractors across West London and Surrey use us for single sets before a site visit, multiple copies for a planning submission, and scanning and copying of existing paper drawings. Email your files ahead or bring them in on USB; same-day turnaround is available on most technical printing jobs. Heathrow Printers has been producing technical drawings in Ashford since 1990.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you print CAD drawings?
Yes, we print directly from PDF, DWF, HPGL and other standard CAD file formats. Our wide-format equipment produces crisp line work with accurate dimensions and scaling.
Do you print A0 and A1 plans?
Yes, A0 and A1 are our most commonly requested technical print sizes. We also print at A2 and can handle oversize drawings beyond A0 on our wide-format roll-fed equipment.
Can you laminate technical drawings?
Yes, we offer both standard lamination and full encapsulation for technical prints. Encapsulation is particularly popular for site plans as it makes them waterproof, tear-resistant and easy to wipe clean.
