‘Architectural reprography’ is the term used for the reproduction of graphics through various technical processes, for use by architects, engineers, designers, surveyors, and so on. It refers to the process by which a copy is made on a graphic surface, such as by printing, xerography and photocopying. It may also refer to reproduction in a digital (soft) rather than physical (hard) form, such as by scanning, digital copying, and electronic storage in databases.

Large-format reproductions can be made from smaller originals, computer-generated from computer aided design (CAD) files, or other design software packages.

The technology used depends on the application of the final product and the quantity required. Typical physical reproduction methods include:

* Diazo (blueline).
* Electrostatic (xerographic).
* Photographic.
* Laser.
* Ink jet.

In recent years, 3D printing has become a common means of reproducing graphical content in model form. See 3D printing in construction, for more information.

Reprographic technologies can be used in construction for a variety of different purposes. Some of these include:

* Plans, drawings, CAD drawings: Can be printed in high quality, in colour or monochrome.
* Adhesive graphics: Printed on a variety of adhesive-backed materials.
* Backlits: Produced on high quality injet, for posters or signs.
* Banners: Printed with a variety of inks on vinyl, fabric or paper in spot-colour or full colour.
* Posters: Many different varieties of substrates and printing options.
* Window graphics: To obscure or decorate glazing. Printed on various substrates.
* Presentations.
