Christopher,
If it helps I can send you my desktop
blueprint machine (which is behind my tanned organic cowhide somewhere) and my developing
tube with the little ammonia bottle. All you need is some nice yellow paper
(the kind sorcerers use) and some ammonia and you’re in biz….that’s
assuming you’re on vellum or something like it.
Juz tryin to help.

Hello?
Ummm ... "blueprinting"? What's that?
Well, it's ... it's when you have to copy a large architectural
drawing, you know, a really big one - one that you don't have as a digital
file. To make a big copy, you know, on paper. Maybe a
diazo, sepia, ozalid. You might have to scan it first.
"Blueprinting", they still call it - to get a paper print.
Well, umm, I don't think we do anything like that ...
"blueprinting" - I've never even heard that word.
Oh, well, uh... thank you.
