Extension 4

Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists, by Casey Reas and Ben Fry, includes a number of digital ‘extensions’, designed to supplement – and extend – the book (now in its second edition).

Casey Reas’ Extension 4: Print explores the impact of digital technologies on printing within the arts. As Reas puts it:

This short text provides a brief history of digital printing technologies […] presenting examples of software written to produce print output, and discusses a few common contemporary print technologies.

With detailed information on high-resolution file export, ‘Print’ covers the creation of images that scale gracefully.
