Whether you’re a contractor, architect, engineer, designer, or homeowner reviewing a renovation, one question always comes up:
“How much does it cost to print blueprints?”
The answer depends on the size of the drawing, whether it’s color or black-and-white, and how fast you need it. In this guide, we break down the most common blueprint sizes, typical blueprint printing costs, and how Azul Prints offers fast nationwide delivery at extremely competitive rates.
Blueprint Printing Prices by Size
Most construction drawings follow two size standards:
- ARCH Series (Architectural)
- ANSI Series (Engineering)
Here’s a clear breakdown of the most popular blueprint sizes and what you can expect to pay to print blueprints online.
Black & White Blueprint Pricing (Most Common)
| Size | Dimensions | Price Per Page |
|---|---|---|
| ANSI A | 8.5 × 11 | $0.20 – $0.50 |
| ANSI B | 11 × 17 | $0.50 – $1.50 |
| ARCH C / ANSI C | 18 × 24 | $2.50 – $3.50 |
| ARCH D / ANSI D | 24 × 36 | $3.50 – $4.50 |
| ARCH E | 36 × 48 | $6.00 – $8.00 |
Azul Prints uses per-square-foot pricing — typically around $0.50/sq ft — which keeps pricing clear and predictable.
Color Blueprint Printing Prices
Color plans are great for presentations, permitting, design reviews, and client-facing meetings. They cost more because of ink coverage.
| Size | Dimensions | Price Per Page |
|---|---|---|
| 18 × 24 | ARCH C | $4.00 – $6.00 |
| 24 × 36 | ARCH D | $6.00 – $9.00 |
| 36 × 48 | ARCH E | $10.00 – $15.00 |
Color prints shine when you need to highlight electrical, structural, plumbing, or landscape features for client presentations.
