Warning: I just saw a set of old shop drawings from 2015 next to the new ones for the same building.
The difference in line weight and text clarity is huge. The new set, done with a cheap office inkjet, is already fading after two weeks in the site trailer. The old set, plotted on a proper machine, is still crisp. Our office switched printers to save money last month. Has anyone else had a plotter change ruin their drawing sets?

Did your office also switch to those awful printers that make everything look blurry?

The new printers are a joke honestly. They smear if you breathe on them wrong. Had to hold a drawing up to the light yesterday just to read a dimension. Pretty sure my coworker's printout of a tiny detail looked like a watercolor painting. Real efficient for building anything.

Wait, they're already fading after two weeks? That's actually insane. So the new prints are basically useless for a real job site. What's the point of saving money if the drawings don't last long enough to build from them?
