Abstract
In this letter we report on an initial investigation into the printing of d iffracting objects via the high-speed, low-cost, printing process of offset -lithography, a method more commonly used in the printing of books and news papers. A series of diffracting objects were printed onto clear substrates and evaluated with a coherent light source. The diffraction patterns genera ted correlate well with the Fourier transform of the printed image.
