- I think this would be a good idea. 198.152.12.67 14:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Can't say I see much relevance. -- Solipsist 15:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Connection to technical drawing
The article explains blueprint as a printing process, and says that it is used for engineering drawings, but it doesn't explain why. Why was the blueprint process so popular for engineering drawings? Alf Boggis 09:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Its a good question. I vaguely recall hearing that they used to be one of the only reproduction techniques that didn't risk changing the scale of the drawing slightly. But someone else probably knows the history better. -- Solipsist 15:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
It was popular mainly because it was relatively inexpensive to produce large-scale copies. Silver-based ( 'classic') photographic contact-printing duplicating systems were comparably prohibitive in cost. --Rxke 09:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
The colloquial usage of blueprint to refer to Technical drawing should be mentioned in this article, but the meaning in the article should be consistent with it's usage in the industry and restricted to the blueprint process and its results. Unless there is objection, I will adjust the article accordinlgy.--Jrsnbarn 15:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
