WOW, guess I've been getting lucky with Kinkos. I have used their machines to scan TIFF files (for which they're kind enough not to charge me) and I convert them into PDF as well at home (Kinkos around here WILL NOT print anything large scale unless it's a PDF, and they'll charge $2.50 to convert it). The files, incidently, print the same from PDF or TIFF.

Everything that I've scanned on their large format printer/scanner (36 inch roller) has printed off to within 1/64 or perfect, depending on the original Seems to be highly dependent on the quality of the original and the light permeability of the original paper. The thicker the paper, seems like more light reflects off of it and gives a trued copy. 1/64 is well within the tolerance of most people's cutting, so it's a matter of knowing when to cut the line, and when to leave it and sand to it before removing the pattern.

I recently also discovered the blueprint services of a local architect. Less than 1/2 of the cost of Kinkos, much more knowledgeable, and a heck of a lot nicer folks, what a bonus. They'll get getting all of my business from now on.
