What we do
Out of the Blueprint is an eco print studio in Leith, Edinburgh. We use specialist Japanese printing methods called RISO and GOCCO. Through our affordable, sustainable and ethical print service, we produce posters, booklets, T-shirts and more for our local community.
As a social enterprise, we raise money through our eco printing service and reinvest all profits to support our work with young people.
