I'm having a lot of fun playing with this cool demonstration project by Karl Scherer:

http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/LineArt2/

After getting some beautiful artistic results I tried to print or save the output but sadly there doesn't appear to be a provision for this. I'd love to save som .eps files that could be printed large to display. What must be added/changed/modified in the code for this to be done?

Use the Paste Snapshot command from the plus menu of Manipulate for getting a static DynamicModule code of what you have created:

For Exporting you can simply paste the code obtained via the Paste Snapshot command instead of <code> into the expression Export["fig.eps", <code>] (in another Notebook) and evaluated it. With Mathematica 10.4.1 I obtained this way a EPS file of size about 1 Mb. Note that EPS format doesn't support semi-transparency but the created figure contains Opacity directives. This means that obtained figure in the EPS format can differ from what you see in the Notebook.

  • Got it thanks @Alexey Popkov ! FYI Eps does not provide a match when exporting the project output, only PDF works but it does work well! – Nothingtoseehere May 14 '16 at 17:05
  • Thanks for the Accept. It is well-known that EPS format does not support semi-transparency. A quick check confirmed that the output obtained from the CDF file contains Opacity directives, so they may be the reason for the mismatch. – Alexey Popkov May 14 '16 at 17:37
