Many Kinkos have Oce Engineering Copy Machines which will take a 36" wide
original and reduce it or enlarge it to any size not wider than 36". There
is a setting on the machine which will make the copy reverse image (so you
can convert an autopositive or blueprint to a black line print). The cost
for a large drawing is under $5. It is too bad but they don't let you
capture the obviously digital image on disk which would be really usefull.
