PRI Does All Types of B&W Printing for Construction
Whether you need digital black and white document printing on bond paper, Mylar blueprints, or color copies, it doesn’t matter. Our Phoenix printing company has the latest large format printing equipment, software and expertise. We can print all types of large format B&W printing for construction, engineering, and architectural design industries.
Printing B&W and Color Paper Copies
Sometimes, our customers simply need us to print large format files to a paper copy. These B&W or color copies are often used in owner meetings, design reviews, permit applications, or at the construction job site. No matter the use, PRI Graphics will print color documents or B&W documents and quickly deliver whatever copies you need.
Document Printing and Distribution
Other times our customers need us to coordinate the construction document printing. That can include everything from scanning and archiving to distribution of construction plans and specifications for bidding purposes. PRI’s color printing services in Phoenix can also provide expert B&W printing for every phase of the construction project.
Print Color Construction Documents
Printing color copies of construction documents is one of our specialities. It can capture every detail and include color legends and images. All the relevant information reads so much better in color. Additionally, document full color printing uses toner on paper products. It does not bleed or smear when wet, making it ideal for color construction document printing.
Color Conveys More Detail
Typically, monochrome prints (blueprints) and B&W printing are commonly used for construction drawing printing. The ability to add or make color copies has always been a significant benefit. The contrast of colors, even if it is only in line form, helps people see the project more clearly. Architects and Engineers are well aware that color print construction documents and printed drawings help them to convey their ideas more easily.
Color Printing Equipment
PRI Graphics & Signs understands the importance of being able to add color to your construction document printing. It can be done without the price being cost-restrictive. Our HP printing equipment is state-of-the-art. It will not only produce high quality color construction documents, but will also accomplish this task in a very cost-efficient manner.
Having the color copies in physical form, instead of a digital format, also allows those who are working on the project to interact with the designs in a more hands-on manner.

FAQs for B&W and Color
Construction Document Printing
Can black and white construction prints be upgraded to color after they’ve already been printed?
Yes, in many cases, PRI Graphics can recreate previously printed black and white drawings in full color—especially if you still have the original digital files for the construction documents. Upgrading to color can enhance visibility for revisions, annotations, or layered disciplines on construction plans.
What’s the difference between color CAD printing and full-color document printing for construction?
Color CAD printing focuses on linework and technical layers from software like AutoCAD or Revit. Full-color construction document printing can include rendered views, photographs, color legends, and branding elements. Both can be printed at PRI Graphics using the latest HP printing equipment.
Is there a difference in turnaround time between black and white vs. color construction prints?
Color printing may take slightly longer due to increased data processing and ink management. PRI Graphics’ advanced HP printing technology keeps turnaround times competitive for both. Same-day or next-day service is often available for both print types, depending on volume.
What are the best use cases for full-color construction document printing?
Color printing is ideal for documents that require visual differentiation, such as electrical layouts, plumbing overlays, landscape design, or bid submissions. It’s also useful for presentations, city planning reviews, and stakeholder meetings where visual clarity matters.
Can I request tinted bond paper or specialty paper for my construction prints?
Absolutely. PRI Graphics offers a variety of paper options, including standard white bond, tinted bond in multiple colors, Mylar, and even waterproof materials. Colored bonds can be useful for version tracking or differentiating trade-specific construction plan sets.
Do construction color prints hold up in outdoor environments or on job sites?
Yes. The toner-based printing process used by PRI Graphics ensures that color construction prints are smudge-resistant and less susceptible to running if exposed to moisture. For extreme conditions, construction prints can be laminated or output on tear-resistant media like Tyvek.
Can I combine black and white and color pages within the same construction plan set?
Yes, mixed sets are fully supported. For example, you can print core technical sheets in black and white and add color renderings or legend sheets where needed. This keeps costs down while enhancing clarity on selected pages.
How do I submit my files for high-volume black and white or color printing in Phoenix?
Files can be uploaded via email, cloud storage (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive), or through a secure file transfer portal. Our Phoenix print team is ready to assist with file prep and ensure optimal print quality, no matter the format or volume.
Does PRI offer consulting on how to optimize drawings for color printing?
Yes, and without inflating your budget. If you’re unsure how to prep your construction documents and drawings for color printing, our team can help. We offer prepress consulting to help you optimize layering, color usage, and resolution for the best output.
Are there cost-effective options for color printing that won’t exceed my project’s budget?
Absolutely. PRI’s printing systems are designed for efficiency. You can choose selective color construction printing (only color where necessary) or use affordable tinted bonds for impact without full-color costs. We’ll work with you to align quality with budget.
