Fulltrúar Turku hafa einnig sýnt verk sín á sýningum erlendis, þær fyrstu voru haldnar í Moskvu og Ríga árið 1934. Undanfarin ár hafa Turku Printmakers heimsótt norræna kollega sína og grafíkfélög og með yfir 90 félagsmönnum hefur félagið sett merk sitt á síbreytilegt landslag samtímalistarflóru Finnlands.
