The for-loop, written as {{code|[initial] [increment] [limit] { ... } for}} initializes an internal variable, and executes the body as long as the internal variable is not more than the limit (or not less, if the increment is negative) and, at the end of each iteration, increments the internal variable. Before each iteration, the value of the internal variable is pushed onto the stack.<ref>{{cite book |year=1999 |title=PostScript Language Reference |publisher=Addison-Wesley Publishing Company |page=596 |isbn=0-201-37922-8}}</ref>

There is also a simple repeat loop.
The repeat-loop, written as {{code|X { ... } repeat}}, repeats the body exactly X times.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pscript.dubmun.com/tutorial4.html|title=PostScript Tutorial - Loops}}</ref>
