What is reprographics?
What is reprographics and how can outsourcing help you?
Reprography is the mechanical or electrical replication of visuals (a portmanteau of reproduction and photography). Catalogues and archives, as well as the architectural, engineering, and construction industries use reprography. It is, in essence, the process of replicating printed items to a high grade with copiers and printing machines.
The service is required by architects, lawyers, and construction engineers at some point. And, whether you realise it or not, you've most likely done some reprography yourself. If you’ve ever scanned in documents and reproduced them, you're a reprographer! The difference between you and the experts is that they can print hundreds of copies at once, bind them, and correctly recreate any media to suit the specific job they've been given.
If you work in the legal, architectural, engineering, or construction industries, you'll need high-quality reproductions produced on short notice.
As reprographers handle legal and other confidential documents, a high level of security is required when working on these projects. Often NDAs are signed by those involved in the handling of the documents.
A dependable, specialised digital printing and copying facility is required by every law, property, corporate, or law office.
Xerography is utilised for tasks like legal printing, where a significant volume of material must be duplicated and reproduced with excellent legibility in mind. In most modern photocopiers, xerography is a dry process that employs electrostatic charges to attract and then transfer toner particles (a powder) onto paper in the shape of an image. The toner is fused to the paper using heat, pressure, or a combination of both. Other technologies, such as inkjet, can be used for high-volume copying, but xerography is the industry standard.
Architectural drawings and other sophisticated plans require slightly different treatment, with at least 150gsm paper being used and special stable UV inks and processes being used.
This is a beautiful example of what reprography can accomplish. Outsourcing and professional printing will make an overwhelming process for your organisation or business much simpler.
Why have plans and binders printed professionally?
Having access to reliable blueprint, architectural plan, and legal document printing services can be highly advantageous for busy enterprises. Architects, engineers, and lawyers can concentrate on what they do best while leaving technical difficulties to those who already have the tools and expertise to deal with the scale and any issues.
In the fields of architecture, law, and construction, as in any other industry, good time management is crucial. Because of the demands of today's dynamic work environments, actual productive work time can easily be overshadowed by other – but as important – issues.
Printing consumes a significant amount of time, but it does it deceptively. It takes no time at all to press the print button... It takes time to choose the right wide format printer that delivers the results you need when you need them. Setting up all of your files correctly gets tricky. Without a professional printer, time can be wasted on minor errors that might have fallen under the radar.
Reprography can run into hundreds of thousands of sheets. Keeping track and accurately duplicating takes top-of-the-line equipment, time, brilliant organisational skills and training.
How outsourced print gets clients, saves time, and improves the bottom line
The quality of a proposal is a key indicator of a project's worth from the client's standpoint. Even though two sets of work may both include the same material, professionals outside of your area will not look at the low-quality plan the same way they would the properly designed and presented one. They expect attractive designs that highlight the work of high-impact specialists such as architects. Don’t let all your time and energy go to waste.
There will be fewer revisions, thanks to avoiding costly printing errors. This cuts down on the number of modifications required owing to mechanical printing mistakes, which are common in most site environments.
Finally, lowering overhead costs is always beneficial. Your organisation can save money on pricey wide-format printing equipment by outsourcing plans and copying to a reputable print provider. You won't have to buy expensive print consumables like ink cartridges or plotter media on a regular basis either.
