Blueprint Machine for sale

[Jim Frame]

"O.B.O." may be the amount they'll charge to haul it to the dump. Blueline machines sure aren't cost-effective for small operations anymore, especially when you consider the space they take up. Do they still make sense for large print runs?

Pretty hard to get anything for those old dinosaurs anymore. I still use an old blueray myself, however.

My first bluepring machine was a rattly old thing that had the paper traveling up to the top, then back around the back then finally out the bottom to a wire tray.

i worked for a guy who had a "developer" where you ran the yellow paper and original thru, then you actually "took" the yellow paper across the room to the developer.

good luck on the sale.

They have one use.

We have some old Mylar prints with B&W aerial orthophotos on the back that don't copy well in large format copiers. I wish we had a blueline machine just for that one use.

They used to put the lines/images on the backside or bottomside of the mylar because they made better prints that way but that also makes them make worse copies because the copier has to look through the mylar.

Dave, try adjusting or turning off automatic contrast. You may have to adjust the contrast in photoshop, but once you have the scan you're good forever.

I was interested until I figured out that it won't play Blue Ray high def movies.
