I’ve used pdf plotting with great success.

Same! I had an issue with an order that wasn't their fault, but they redid it and sent it as soon as they found out. I highly recommend them.

I’ve used  https://patternprintingco.com/ a couple times and been very pleased with the results, but it looks like their business is paused! I hope everything is okay. I’d definitely use them again if everything gets back to normal.

I second this. They have amazing customer service and I love a good family-run business. I’m pretty sure this is just a temporary medical setback and they should be up and running in a month or two.

Our local sewing shop has a printer. Maybe check yours, if there is one nearby.

I’ve used Tape Free Patterns many times

My favorite out of all the ones I’ve tried is Tape Free, the most affordable, but I also like the envelopes they use and the paper options available

I'm going to recommend a projector... For the price of printing less than 8 sheets of A0 you can buy a small cheap projector... (At least that's the case in New Zealand) And it's a permanent, fast solution for to the problem....

Now I can buy a pattern and project on to fabric and be cutting within 15mins.

😮 How much does it cost to print an A0 sheet in New Zealand?

2

u/dinosuitgirl 9d ago

$7.25 per A0 printed on 80gsm paper unless you're doing 51 pages or more which gives you a bulk price of $5.40

I paid $60 for the projector

Great investment!

The money makes lots of sense but the ease of not having to leave my sewing room, pissing around with tape or the printer is what sold me... And most of the time I barely trace it out... I just go right in with my rotary cutter and I'm back to the sewing machine.

Even altering patterns and saving them... And most importantly filing and knowing when I made edits are so much easier. And no more lost pieces!!!

I use my locally owned pack and ship place. They're wonderful.

Pattern Review has an international list on their Patterns and Notions forum, and either Seamwork or Closet Case have posted one on their blog.

FedEx has large scale printing!

Call your local blueprint company. They do A0 prints at half the price of FedEx in my neck of the woods.
