Getting started
Printraband is an idle tycoon game. You run print shops. Print stages turn raw materials into products, customers buy them, and you spend the cash on upgrades.
The loop
Section titled “The loop”- Print stages make products. Every venue is a chain of print stages. Level them up so they make products faster and for more profit.
- Buy upgrades. Each venue has a list of upgrades: more customer slots, drone workers, kiosks, and speed and profit boosts.
- Clear the venue. Get the venue to its clear level, then move on to the next one in the zone. Later venues have more print stages and much higher income multipliers.
- Move through the zones. Each zone ends in a big capstone venue. See Districts & Zones for the full route.
Features that unlock as you play
Section titled “Features that unlock as you play”See Feature Unlocks for exactly when Upgrades, Renovate, and Ad Boost appear.
Going further
Section titled “Going further”- Drones: hire them to run a print stage for you.
- Chests: open them for gear, gear blueprints, and Tech Blueprints.

Offline earnings
Section titled “Offline earnings”Your venues keep earning while the game is closed, up to a time limit. The Vault’s Clock makes that limit longer and Beauty Sleep makes offline earnings worth more.
