Document Storage That Saves You Money
All businesses are required to keep tax documents on file for at least seven years. Attorneys and doctors are required to store records on closed cases for a significantly longer period. These files could add up to hundreds of thousands of documents that need to be safely stored.
Free up your storage space and save money by turning your business’ tax documents and B&W or Color printing into digital files. Along with AEC document printing, PRI Graphics can bulk scan documents and create easy-to-read and retrieve files. By converting old files to electronic digital files, businesses can eliminate costly storage units and lost workspace in their offices.
Our local print shop in Phoenix can scan at different resolutions and in both monochrome and color. This will ensure that every type of document saved can easily be converted to a digital file. To ensure a proper document management system, PRI Graphics will set up files exactly as you want them for easy access to the information at a later date.

Document Scanning & Archiving FAQs
Can PRI Graphics digitize oversized documents that are damaged, faded, or hard to read?
Yes. We scan fragile, aged, or low-contrast documents such as faded blueprints or weathered construction plans. Our technicians use high-resolution scanners and image enhancement tools to restore legibility and preserve critical details during digitization.
What’s the best way to archive both legacy blueprints and current project revisions together?
We suggest starting with a hybrid digital archive. First, scan legacy blueprints, then upload new or revised drawings as the project progresses. PRI Graphics organizes your archive chronologically, by project phase, or by version to make document tracking seamless.
Can scanned architectural documents be converted into searchable PDFs or editable CAD files?
Yes. PRI Graphics & Signs uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to create searchable PDFs. We also convert files into vector formats like DWG or DXF when you need editable CAD files. This service helps you repurpose archived plans for future design or renovation work.
How should I prepare large format or bound construction documents for bulk scanning?
Before you drop off or schedule a pickup, remove staples, bindings, or adhesives if possible. If your documents are bound or too delicate, our team will handle the prep work in-house to protect the materials and ensure a clean scan.
Are there compliance or retention benefits to scanning physical records?
Yes. Digital archiving helps you meet retention standards for industries like healthcare, law, and finance. It also eliminates risks like fire, water damage, or theft by securing and backing up important records digitally.
Can I request specific file formats like TIFF, JPEG, or PDF/A for long-term document storage?
Absolutely. PRI Graphics delivers files in the format that best fits your compliance or archival needs. PDF/A works well for long-term preservation, while TIFF and JPEG provide excellent high-resolution image options. We match the format to your workflow.
Does PRI Graphics offer ongoing scanning services for active construction projects?
Yes. We offer recurring scanning and digital updates as your construction project evolves. This service captures all markups, revisions, and updates, helping you maintain a complete digital record of every project phase.
What’s the difference between scanning and full archiving services at PRI Graphics?
Scanning captures your physical AEC documents digitally. Archiving adds organization—naming, indexing, and securely storing the files for long-term access. PRI Graphics offers both scanning and archiving as standalone or bundled services.
Can you help with document digitization for companies transitioning to a paperless office?
Yes. PRI Graphics helps businesses in Phoenix and across Arizona move to digital workflows. Our services include bulk scanning, digital organization, and document management solutions to eliminate paper waste and reclaim office space.
Do you offer scanning solutions for industries outside of AEC, like legal, healthcare, or education?
Definitely. While we focus on large-format scanning for AEC, PRI Graphics & Signs also supports legal case files, academic records, healthcare documents, and tax archives. We tailor solutions to meet your industry’s compliance and retention needs.
