The term blueprint continues to be used less formally to refer to any floor plan (and even less formally, any type of plan). Practising engineers, architects, and drafters often call them "drawings", “prints”, or “plans”.

Vellum is what many know as traditional blueprint paper, and it is commonly used for architectural and engineering plans for black-and-white blueprints. It is also possible to print blueprints on Mylar paper, which is transparent or frosted, by using a laser process.

Blueprints are more correctly called cyanotypes (cyan = dark blue). A compound solution of ferric (iron) ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide (salt) is coated onto one side of the paper that will be the copy.

Engineering drawings (aka blueprints, prints, drawings, mechanical drawings) are a rich and specific outline that shows all the information and requirements needed to manufacture an item or product.

Construction drawings, construction plans, building plans, house plans, floor plans, and working drawings are all types of blueprints.

The First Blueprints After the paper was washed and dried to keep those lines from exposing, the result was a negative image of white (or whatever color the blueprint paper originally was) against a dark blue background. The resulting image was therefore appropriately named “blueprint.”
