Just defining #copies with an integer value of the number of copies is the
best way to print multiple copies of the same bitmap.
/#copies 10 def
or
userdict /#copies 10 put
will print 10 duplicate pages whenever a showpage or copypage is encountered
(however early versions of PS, pre version 38.0, do not use #copies with
copypage).
