The Missprint range at Blinds By Post is a collection of made-to-measure blackout roller blinds distinguished by graphic, illustrator-led print designs rather than the plain or lightly textured fabrics that dominate most roller ranges. With 44 designs and prices from £32.94, this is a range that leads with visual character - the retailer describes the fabric as blackout, so the prints sit on an opaque backing rather than a decorative sheer.
Who it suits
The blackout designation (the retailer's claim - confirm with Blinds By Post if precise opacity matters to you) makes this range a reasonable candidate for bedrooms. Blackout roller fabrics block light through the cloth itself, but edge leak around the blind is still a factor in most standard fittings; if you need a genuinely dark room, an outside-recess or face-fit installation will reduce light bleed more than an inside-recess fit will.
Living rooms and home offices are also plausible homes for a patterned roller like this, particularly if the print is your main reason for choosing it. The dimout a heavy blackout-backed fabric provides is more than adequate for glare reduction during the day. Bathrooms are a less suitable fit - check the retailer's own guidance on whether the fabric and its backing are suited to a humid room before ordering.
Children's rooms are a natural use case for distinctive print fabrics, and a blackout roller serves the usual sleep-and-nap requirement well. UK regulations require all domestic blinds to be cord-safe by design; confirm the cord-management option with Blinds By Post at the point of order.
The prints
44 colours available
The range spans several distinct design families rather than recolouring a single motif. The Guatemala group - Afterdark, Ghost, and Olive - leans into botanical shapes with a strong graphic edge. The Hieroglyph family (Kew, Papyrus, Denim) and the Hoja group (Boston, Spring, Pebble) suggest structured, repeating pattern work. Saplings runs to four colourways including Ether, Sunflower, Pale Aqua, and Silverleaf, leaning notably cooler and more muted than the warmer Persia Picalilli or Dandelion Mobile Sunflower Yellow.
The total spread runs from the near-neutral - Laurus Stonewash, Hoja Pebble, Guatemala Ghost - to the more saturated Fern Citrus, Chimes Cascade, and the two Dandelion Mobile colourways. Across the 27 designs there is genuine variety; this is not a range where every option is a tone-on-tone recolour.

With a from-price of £32.94 this sits in the lower-mid bracket for a made-to-measure blackout roller with a branded print design. Price scales with size in the usual way for made-to-measure; confirm your exact width and drop with Blinds By Post before ordering, as the retailer will specify whether to measure to the recess width or add an overlap allowance.
How it compares
Against a plain blackout roller - which is typically cheaper at small sizes - the Missprint range trades a modest cost premium for the print designs. If blackout function is your only requirement and the pattern is incidental, a plainer heavy-backed fabric will usually cost less. If you want an identifiable pattern that also provides real light control, a dedicated print range like this one is more useful than trying to layer a decorative roller over a plain blackout.
For rooms where partial light control would be sufficient - a living room where you want privacy without full darkness - a dimout or light-filtering fabric may be a better practical choice, since those tend to be lighter in weight and sit more easily in a recess. The Missprint range, being described as blackout, is heavier fabric; that affects how it rolls on the tube and the minimum practical drop for the blind to hang flat.
If the pattern is the draw, it is worth checking that your preferred design is still in the active range at Blinds By Post, as illustrated print collections occasionally rotate.
