Butler-class destroyer escort|Butler-class destroyer escort, 1944 A blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing or engineering drawing using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets introduced by Sir John Herschel in 1842. The traditional white-on-blue appearance of blueprints is a result of the cyanotype process, which allowed rapid and accurate production of an unlimited number of copies of an original reference. It was widely used for over a century for the reproduction of specification drawings used in construction and industry. Blueprints were

It is also known as the blue-line process since the result is blue lines on a white background. It is a contact printing process that accurately reproduces a translucent original in size, but can reproduce only limited tonal range and no color.
