Bluebeam Tip: Optimizing Large Format Printing with Bluebeam Revu: Essential Strategies for Maintaining Scale and Clarity

When dealing with large format printing directly from Bluebeam Revu, it's crucial to ensure that your drawings and designs maintain their intended scale and clarity. Here are some strategies to help you achieve the best possible printouts:

• Check Your Scale: Before printing, verify that the scale is set correctly in the 'Print' dialog box. This ensures that measurements and annotations are accurate when printed.
• Page Setup: Specify the correct page size in the 'Page Setup' section. Bluebeam Revu supports a wide range of page sizes, accommodating even the largest formats.
• Quality Settings: Adjust the 'Resolution' and 'Quality' settings to balance between print clarity and file size. A higher DPI (dots per inch) results in better image quality but larger print files.
• Print Preview: Always use the 'Print Preview' function to double-check alignment, scaling, and to ensure that all elements of your document are visible and positioned as expected.
• Tiling Large Drawings: If the printer cannot handle the document's full size, use the 'Tile' option to divide the document into smaller, printable sections that can be assembled afterwards.
• Manage Layers: For documents with multiple layers, control which layers are visible and printable to avoid unnecessary clutter or to highlight important information on the printout.
• Line Weights and Colors: Adjust line weights and colors to ensure that all elements are visible when printed, especially when printing in grayscale.
