For almost a century, blueprint was the only low cost process available for copying drawings. That copy had blue lines on a white background; thus these drawings were also called blue-lines or blueprints. Traditional blueprints have largely been replaced by more modern, less expensive printing methods and digital displays. That process is done by the use of print processes similar to a standard copy machine technology using toner and bond paper. More recently, designs created using Computer-Aided Design techniques may be transferred as a digital file directly to a computer printer or plotter; in some applications paper is avoided altogether and work and analysis is done directly from digital displays. As print and display technology has advanced, the traditional term "blueprint" has continued to be used informally to refer to each type of image.

No. Blueprints, design drawings, etc. are proprietary information that is considered to be viewed once delivery is accepted. Viewing of these prints constitutes that they are being used. Therefore, once used, ANA & Associates will not accept any returns, exchanges or cancellation of order, and payment is non-refundable.
