Print

Papers and essays as printed or PDF documents, and later posters and magazine pages. Part of the SoR design system; read BUILD.md first. Status: examples.md · beads design-34t.17.

Stub, with a brief ready for its own session.

What we need

1. A paper as PDF (first): A4 and US Letter. Cover page, contents, running heads, page numbers, headings, footnotes, figures captioned as plates, pull quotes, references, a colophon.
2. An A3 event poster.
3. Later: a magazine page or spread, a printed flyer.

How it's different from the web

• Fixed sizes in points, not fluid sizes: a print type scale as --print-* tokens (body around 10–11pt Bricolage, headings in Polyamine, pull quotes in Restora, labels in Apfel).
• Pages: margins, a baseline rhythm, widows and orphans, page breaks before chapters, figures that don't split.
• Ink on paper: check the logo red and the pale yellow on paper (sunlight may vanish on cheap stock; red may need a CMYK value). Paper grain is real on paper, so drop the grain overlay.
• Woodcuts print beautifully: use them for the cover and chapter openings.

Brief for a new session

Build print with HTML and CSS paged media, so the same tokens and faces are reused:

1. Add --print-* tokens to system/tokens.css and a system/print.css (@page size and margins, running heads and page numbers via margin boxes, footnotes, break rules).
2. Make examples/print/white-paper.html: the white paper from examples/web/white-paper.html set for print, with a cover. Produce the PDF with a paged-media tool (Paged.js in the browser, or WeasyPrint) and commit both the HTML and a sample PDF.
3. Then an A3 poster: examples/print/poster.html.
4. Note any fonts issue: Polyamine and Restora must be installed or licensed for embedding in PDFs (beads design-34t.2).

Finish: update this page and examples.md, beads, commit, push, republish.
