Blueprints are Booming

Blueprints are Booming

Work in our plotter room has been bustling lately! Spring projects are rolling in the door daily, and our team is ensuring that they meet every deadline.

Last Tuesday at noon, a customer asked us to produce a blueprint job in a hurry. Their project required 1,104 plots, bound into 2 sets of 2 volumes each. They also needed the corresponding spec books, which totaled 5,412 sheets, bound into 2 sets of 4 volumes each. Our team shines when it comes to efficiency and quality, and they got it done! At 10:00 a.m. the next day, we delivered the job to a very happy customer.

Like proud parents, we get to brag a bit when our staff meets a challenging deadline or juggles a lot of moving parts. Our goal is always customer satisfaction, and our staff at Minuteman Press hit it out of the park on this job!

In addition to printing blueprints every day, we also sell plotters, scanners, paper, and supplies for your in-office needs. Our staff is trained in service and installation. We are an authorized retailer for Epson, Canon, Leica, and Kip. Whatever your AEC printing needs, we are here to help!

“What Would You Say You Do Here?”

“What Would You Say You Do Here?”

Anyone else a fan of the movie Office Space? I thought of this quote recently when a friend confessed that she didn’t really know what our business provides. A printing company…what does that mean now days? I figured that other people must be wondering the same thing, so it’s time for a blog post review of our products and services. It’s been almost two decades since we started as a small commercial print shop with a printing press and a copier. How times have changed!

In broad terms, we create products that are customized with your words or logo.

Business Printing and Bindery

We work with offices in all industries, such as town government, schools, attorneys, medical offices and hospitals, engineering firms, manufacturers, and trucking companies.

We provide items such as business cards, envelopes, letterhead, brochures, flyers, newsletters, forms, labels, magnets, manuals, binders, wayfinding signs, and wall graphics. Anything to keep the office running smoothly!

Engineering Prints and Supplies

New England Blueprint is our department that specializes exclusively in products for architectural, engineering, and construction professionals (the AEC industry). We can print and bind your blueprints, provide rolls of paper and toner for your plotters, or sell you the plotters and scanners for your in-house work.

Equipment Sales

We sell, install, and service plotting equipment for engineering firms, architects, and town planning offices.

We are an authorized dealer for Epson, Canon, WideTek, and Leica. We carry printers, copiers, plotters, flatbed scanners, and 3D scanners. We will work with you to find the right equipment for your needs and your budget, whether you need a small office printer or the latest 3D technology.

Wide Format and Vinyl Printing

Our wide-format department produces banners, posters, A-frame signs, vinyl window graphics, vinyl wall graphics, and vehicle wraps. If you need to customize something larger than a piece of paper, this department is ready to roll. We’ve created attention-getting storefronts for new businesses, wrapped food trucks so they stand out, and printed massive banners that withstand the elements and are highly noticeable outdoors.

Branded Apparel

Here’s another great place to display your logo. We have hundreds of styles from name brands like Nike, Port Authority, Hanes, and The North Face. We can outfit your sales team, dress your work crew in heavy duty styles, or provide the latest on-trend looks. We provide branded apparel for medical offices, schools, sports teams, fundraisers, work crews in construction and maintenance, and office personnel.
