Hello - Princeton School of Architecture,
can I help you?
Yes, thank you, I'm a historian in New York
City, I need the name of a local blueprinter. Does the school use an
outside blueprinter?
[silence]
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.
