NEW BOOK OUT NOW
Our limited edition book Walk Don’t Walk is a collection of diverse new work by some of Scotland’s most exciting artists, comic makers and illustrators, featuring everything from narrative illustration to genre-bending artwork.
We’re Out of the Blueprint, a social enterprise in Leith
Our specialty is Risograph and Gocco printing – affordable, eco-friendly print with a unique aesthetic. We print posters, flyers, artwork, booklets, tote bags, t-shirts and more.
We exist to support young people. Any funds we make help us to provide training opportunities for young people with barriers to employment, and support young artists with their creative projects.
Every time you use our print service for your flyers, totes, posters or publications, you’re helping a young illustrator to produce their first comic, funding a traineeship for a young person with additional support needs, and supporting a new artist with their first exhibition.
Helping young people through the power of print.
