This amendment relates to shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of American Reprographics Co., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 1981 N. Broadway, Suite 385, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D as previously amended. Item 2.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer - ---------------------------------------------- (a), (b) According to the Issuer's 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2010, there were 45,724,468 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 3, 2010. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 589,842 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner, which represents 1.3% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 725,601 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 1.6% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iii) 943,703 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP IV, which serves as general partner of Blum GP IV LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic IV, which represents 2.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum LP, Blum GP III, and Blum GP IV. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 2,259,146 shares of the Common Stock, which is 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP IV, and Blum GP IV LP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV or Blum GP IV LP. * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 029263100 SCHEDULE 13D Page 10 of 12 c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons have sold the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------- ---------- -------- ----------- Investment partnerships for 09-29-2010 2,200 7.9111 which Blum LP serves as the 09-30-2010 3,700 7.9391 general partner. 10-01-2010 1,300 7.9056 10-05-2010 22,400 7.9023 10-05-2010 7,700 7.9124 10-06-2010 3,100 7.9000 10-06-2010 2,100 7.9040 10-07-2010 3,300 7.9098 10-08-2010 14,100 7.9058 11-17-2010 38,600 7.1855 11-18-2010 32,500 7.2238 11-18-2010 2,500 7.2628 11-19-2010 11,500 7.2231 11-19-2010 200 7.2260 11-22-2010 14,100 7.1619 11-22-2010 13,000 7.1734 Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------- ---------- -------- ----------- For Blum Strategic III for 09-29-2010 2,700 7.9111 which Blum GP III LP 09-30-2010 4,600 7.9391 serves as the general partner 10-01-2010 1,500 7.9056 and for Blum GP III which 10-05-2010 9,300 7.9124 serves as the general 10-05-2010 27,600 7.9023 partner for Blum GP III LP. 10-06-2010 2,500 7.9040 10-06-2010 3,900 7.9000 10-07-2010 4,100 7.9098 10-08-2010 17,300 7.9058 11-17-2010 47,400 7.1855 11-18-2010 3,000 7.2628 11-18-2010 40,000 7.2238 11-19-2010 300 7.2260 11-19-2010 14,100 7.2231 11-22-2010 17,200 7.1619 11-22-2010 16,100 7.1734 * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 029263100 SCHEDULE 13D Page 11 of 12 Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------- ---------- -------- ----------- For Blum Strategic IV for 09-29-2010 3,356 7.9111 which Blum GP IV LP 09-30-2010 5,886 7.9391 serves as the general partner 10-01-2010 1,970 7.9056 and for Blum GP IV which 10-05-2010 11,987 7.9124 serves as the general 10-05-2010 35,916 7.9023 partner for Blum GP IV LP. 10-06-2010 3,313 7.9040 10-06-2010 5,084 7.9000 10-07-2010 5,398 7.9098 10-08-2010 22,600 7.9058 11-17-2010 61,500 7.1855 11-18-2010 4,001 7.2628 11-18-2010 52,000 7.2238 11-19-2010 500 7.2260 11-19-2010 18,214 7.2231 11-22-2010 22,385 7.1619 11-22-2010 20,900 7.1734 (d) Not applicable.
