Experts in reprographics for nearly a century, Service Point (a trading division of Paragon Group UK limited) of brings you Plot Giant - A new direct way of producing your CAD Plotting & Plan Printing cost-effectively over the web, without any fuss.
We print plans using state-of-the-art equipment onto 80gram bond paper, and by using the web to manage whole the process, we cut out all the middle men. This allows us to pass that cost saving on to you and give you the very best quality at rock bottom prices.
Our Colour CAD plotting service has seen a huge leap in volume over the past year, partly encouraged by our aggressive pricing
but mainly due to many different sectors seeing the benefit of utilising colour in
their technical and schematic drawings to highlight and denote and differentiate.
Our customers are also printing more and more project plans, timetables, spreadsheets, charts, maps and seating and lighting plans.
If you have virtually any kind of line drawing our service is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way of getting it printed in large format colour.
Product Info:
We will only accept CAD line drawings up to 10% coverage.

Fantasic Job
Thank you for doing such a fantastic job of printing the CAD plans for my course work, I have let many other students know about your website. Pravinder P. -Architectural Student

I wasn’t convinced at first, but with your prices and turnaround it just makes sense to use your service instead of keeping our old plan printing machine going. Thanks!

The Products you order will be delivered within the territory of the United Kingdom to the address you give when you place your Order. We will deliver to any location outside of the United Kingdom but will charge extra for carriage.
If there is no one at the address given who is competent to accept delivery of the Products (all Products must be signed for on delivery by an adult aged 18 years or over), you will be notified that an attempt to deliver the Products was made and you will be given the option to either arrange for a further delivery at your cost, or to collect free of charge the Products from the nearest depot of our freight forwarder.

We shall be entitled to cancel your Order and any Contract if:

A claim by you which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to correspond with specification shall (whether or not delivery is refused by you) be notified to us within seven days from the date of delivery or (where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect or failure.

Where a valid claim in respect of any of the Products which is based on a defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to meet specification is notified to us in accordance with these Conditions, we shall replace the Products (or the part in question) free of charge or, at our sole discretion, refund to you the price of the Products (or a proportionate part of the price), in which case we shall have no further liability to you.
Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or liability for defective Products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, we shall not be liable under or in relation to this Contract or its subject matter (whether such liability arises due to negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation, or for any other reason excluding fraudulent misrepresentation) for any technical, factual, textual or other typographical inaccuracies, errors or omissions in information on the Website, for any loss or damage arising from the use of your credit or debit card on the Website, for the unavailability of the Website (or any part of it), for any delay in providing or failing to supply the Products, or for any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of sales or turnover, loss of, or damage to reputation, loss of contract, loss of customers, loss of, or loss of use of any software or data, or computer or other equipment or plant, wasted management or other staff time, losses or liabilities under or in relation to any other contract or any indirect, consequential loss or damage (including loss or damage suffered by you as a result of an action brought by a third party).
Our liability under or in connection with any Contract shall not exceed the price for the Products, except as expressly provided in these Conditions.
Products requiring colour printing may differ slightly from the original or from Products of a different batch of Products produced for you under a previous order by you and any such minor differences are inherent in the printing process and shall not entitle you to reject such Products or to bring a claim for a defect in the quality or condition of the Products or failure to correspond with the agreed specification.
We expressly agree that should any limitation of liability Condition or provision contained in the Contract be held to be invalid under any applicable legislation (primary or otherwise) or rule of law by reason of some part of that Condition or provision it shall, to that extent, be deemed omitted, but if we thereby become liable for loss or damage which would otherwise have been excluded or limited, as the case may be, such liability should be subject to the other applicable limitations and provisions set out in these Conditions.

In business-to-business transactions (“B2B”) we will apply established trading practices of the printing industry and in particular (without limitation) will not release any tools or equipment or raw materials (other than samples of the Products Ordered) to you until full payment of the price for the Order has been received by us in cleared funds.
We will take all reasonable precautions to keep the details of your Order and payment secure, but unless we are negligent, we will not be liable for any unauthorised access to information supplied by you.

We may terminate any Contract forthwith on giving notice to you if you fail to comply with any term or condition of any Contract, or if you become bankrupt or (being a company) enter administration or go into liquidation or cease or threaten to cease to carry on business.
If you are a business customer, you hereby agree that any claim you may have against us arising out of or in connection with any Contract shall become time barred unless proceedings are commenced against us in a court of competent jurisdiction within 12 months from the date of delivery of the Products to you.

You will be responsible for providing and maintaining at all relevant times a properly functioning e- mail address and (without limitation) it will particularly be your responsibility to ensure that your spam filter and/or other e-mail settings do not prevent receipt of or distort any electronic communications from us. Unless you notify us otherwise, we will use your e-mail address for any correspondence with you. With the exception of death and personal injury caused by our negligence, we shall not be liable for any losses or damages suffered by you as a result of your failure to comply with this clause.
If we choose to ignore a breach by you of these Conditions on one occasion, we may still take issue with you if you are in breach of the same or any other Condition after that.
If a court decides that any of these Conditions is legally unacceptable or ineffective in whole or in part, that shall not affect the other Conditions or part Conditions.
A person who is not a party to the Contract shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to the benefit of any of these Conditions, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
The laws of England shall govern the Contract, and you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

Place an order, each order acts as a new entry, or register once
for news and automatically enter our free iPad draw.
We output black & white plots on top of the range Oce TDS 800’s, and colour plots on Oce Colorwave’s, they are the most expensive machines for a reason, offering the very best line quality and resolution available by far.
Multiple paper copy sets can be automatically folded and collated by our equipment if required.
If you have scanned Tiff images we recommend they are at least 400dpi, although 200dpi will give a reasonable result, it will not produce as crisp a plot compared to 400-600dpi.
We currently do not accept native CAD files due to the risk of discrepancies and the time taken to convert them.
At this time we do not offer this service directly over the Web. If you require this service to be added to your prints then please call us on 0330 119 0440 to organise this.
Unfortunaly we will need to add this to the order by taking payment over the phone... sorry!
At this time we can only offer payments through PayPal™. We cannot accept payment from any other payment gateways. ...sorry!

If you request any alterations to an Order accepted by us, we reserve our right to either reject such alterations, or if acceptable to us, to charge you for any additional work undertaken by us and any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any machine down-time or extra time) incurred as a result of such alterations at our standard rate of £55 per hour excluding VAT (minimum chargeable period is 15 minutes) or at such other rate or price then agreed with you in respect of the requested alteration. Any such agreement shall only be binding on us if expressly confirmed by us in writing.
The Products you order will be delivered within the territory of the United Kingdom to the address you give when you place your Order. We will deliver to any location outside of the United Kingdom but will charge extra for carriage.
If there is no one at the address given who is competent to accept delivery of the Products (all Products must be signed for on delivery by an adult aged 18 years or over), you will be notified that an attempt to deliver the Products was made and you will be given the option to either arrange for a further delivery at your cost, or to collect free of charge the Products from the nearest depot of our freight forwarder.
Every effort will be made to deliver the Products as soon as possible after your order has been accepted and in any event within 30 days from receipt by us of all information we require from you in order to complete your Order. Delivery dates shall only apply if these have been expressly confirmed by us by e-mail or otherwise in writing. However, we will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery or if such delay is caused by you.
We will use reasonable efforts to deliver the correct quantity of Products ordered. Variations in Product quantities are, however, inherent in the printing process and although we will endeavour to provide you with the accurate quantity of Products ordered, a variation of +/- 10% ("Permitted Error Margin") of the total quantity ordered shall be deemed permitted and shall not entitle you or us to bring any claim for underpayment or short delivery as the case may be. For orders of paper not available through our website, the Permitted Error Margin shall be +/- 20% for Orders up to 1,000 kg of Product, and +/- 15% for Orders over 1,000 kg of Product (or such other margins as agreed by us by writing).
You will become responsible for the risk of loss or damage to the Products ordered once they have been delivered to you. If the Products are sold by you before they have been paid in full, you shall hold the proceeds of the sale on trust for us in a separate account until any sum owed to us has been received by us in full.
We shall be entitled to cancel your Order and any Contract if:
You acknowledge that the Products are of a bespoke nature made to your order. Therefore you will not be entitled to a "Cooling-off Period" during which you can cancel the Contract and return any Products ordered without incurring liability for the agreed price for the Products.
You may cancel an Order after it has been accepted by us until shipment of the ordered Products by giving notice to us in which case you will be liable to us for all our costs incurred through our performance of your Order up to and including the date of your cancellation (order status will be visible for you in your designated customer area on our Website), but in any event your minimum liability in the event of your cancellation shall be 20% of the total price agreed to be payable for your Order.
Subject as expressly provided in these Terms, and except where Products are sold to a person dealing as a consumer (within the meaning of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Where the goods are sold under a consumer transaction (as defined by the Consumer Transactions (Restrictions on Statements) Order 1976), your statutory rights as buyer are not affected by these Conditions.
A claim by you which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to correspond with specification shall (whether or not delivery is refused by you) be notified to us within seven days from the date of delivery or (where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect or failure. If delivery is not refused and you do not notify us accordingly, then you shall not be entitled to reject the Products and we shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and you shall be bound to pay the price as if the Products had been delivered in accordance with the Contract
Where a valid claim in respect of any of the Products which is based on a defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to meet specification is notified to us in accordance with these Conditions, we shall replace the Products (or the part in question) free of charge or, at our sole discretion, refund to you the price of the Products (or a proportionate part of the price), in which case we shall have no further liability to you.
Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or liability for defective Products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, we shall not be liable under or in relation to this Contract or its subject matter (whether such liability arises due to negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation, or for any other reason excluding fraudulent misrepresentation) for any technical, factual, textual or other typographical inaccuracies, errors or omissions in information on the Website, for any loss or damage arising from the use of your credit or debit card on the Website, for the unavailability of the Website (or any part of it), for any delay in providing or failing to supply the Products, or for any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of sales or turnover, loss of, or damage to reputation, loss of contract, loss of customers, loss of, or loss of use of any software or data, or computer or other equipment or plant, wasted management or other staff time, losses or liabilities under or in relation to any other contract or any indirect, consequential loss or damage (including loss or damage suffered by you as a result of an action brought by a third party).
Our liability under or in connection with any Contract shall not exceed the price for the Products, except as expressly provided in these Conditions.
Products requiring colour printing may differ slightly from the original or from Products of a different batch of Products produced for you under a previous order by you and any such minor differences are inherent in the printing process and shall not entitle you to reject such Products or to bring a claim for a defect in the quality or condition of the Products or failure to correspond with the agreed specification.
We expressly agree that should any limitation of liability Condition or provision contained in the Contract be held to be invalid under any applicable legislation (primary or otherwise) or rule of law by reason of some part of that Condition or provision it shall, to that extent, be deemed omitted, but if we thereby become liable for loss or damage which would otherwise have been excluded or limited, as the case may be, such liability should be subject to the other applicable limitations and provisions set out in these Conditions.
You should be aware that with the exception of credit or debit card numbers and the information we specifically request of you to enable us to enter into a Contract with you, we do not wish to receive any information of a confidential or proprietary nature from you through this Website and any such information you send to us will be deemed by us not to be confidential in nature.
Any materials, documentation and information supplied by you under any Contract will (unless agreed otherwise) be stored by us only until the date of delivery of the Products you have ordered, after which they will be destroyed without further notice to you.
In business-to-business transactions (“B2B”) we will apply established trading practices of the printing industry and in particular (without limitation) will not release any tools or equipment or raw materials (other than samples of the Products Ordered) to you until full payment of the price for the Order has been received by us in cleared funds.
We will take all reasonable precautions to keep the details of your Order and payment secure, but unless we are negligent, we will not be liable for any unauthorised access to information supplied by you.
We will use the information you provide about yourself for the purpose of fulfilling your Order and always in accordance with our Privacy Policy, unless you agree otherwise. We would like to notify you of our products we offer that may be of interest to you from time to time. If you would NOT like to be notified of these, please send an e-mail to w2p-support@servicvepointuk.com . You can correct any information about you, or ask for information about you to be deleted, by giving written notice to us at the address, fax number or email address shown on our Website.
You agree to indemnify us and hold us and our employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by a third party that the Products or their contents infringe the patent, copyright, design, trademark or any other right of such third party.
We may terminate any Contract forthwith on giving notice to you if you fail to comply with any term or condition of any Contract, or if you become bankrupt or (being a company) enter administration or go into liquidation or cease or threaten to cease to carry on business.
If you are a business customer, you hereby agree that any claim you may have against us arising out of or in connection with any Contract shall become time barred unless proceedings are commenced against us in a court of competent jurisdiction within 12 months from the date of delivery of the Products to you.
Any notice which is given under these Conditions shall be either by electronic communication or if by you, by pre-paid recorded delivery, addressed to us at the address in these Conditions and if by us by first class post addressed to you at the delivery address on your Order. Legal proceedings must be served by first class post or pre-paid recorded delivery only.
Any electronic communication, including your Order, our acknowledgement of receipt of your Order and our Acceptance shall be deemed to be received by us when we are able to access it and by you on the date the electronic communication has been sent by us.
You will be responsible for providing and maintaining at all relevant times a properly functioning e- mail address and (without limitation) it will particularly be your responsibility to ensure that your spam filter and/or other e-mail settings do not prevent receipt of or distort any electronic communications from us. Unless you notify us otherwise, we will use your e-mail address for any correspondence with you. With the exception of death and personal injury caused by our negligence, we shall not be liable for any losses or damages suffered by you as a result of your failure to comply with this clause.
If we choose to ignore a breach by you of these Conditions on one occasion, we may still take issue with you if you are in breach of the same or any other Condition after that.
If a court decides that any of these Conditions is legally unacceptable or ineffective in whole or in part, that shall not affect the other Conditions or part Conditions.
A person who is not a party to the Contract shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to the benefit of any of these Conditions, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
The laws of England shall govern the Contract, and you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
We will not have any liability under or be deemed to be in breach of the Contract for any delays or failures in performance of the Contract which result from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. as at March 2009
