Whats the difference between an EPS and JPG?
An EPS file contains vector information, which means you can make it as big or small as you like without compromising print quality. It is the standard file format used by professional printers. It is the file you will need if you want to produce professional-grade print materials. NOTE: You may not be able to view the EPS version of your logo on your computer screen. Just because your EPS file displays poorly onscreen does not mean it will print badly on a printing press. Opening an EPS requires specific software. A JPG is a compressed image file most suitable for use with your laser printer and/or on the internet. A JPG is a much smaller resolution file than an EPS and cannot be enlarged without losing detail. Therefore it is best to print a JPG at its original size only. It should not be used for professionally printed materials, as it may appear blurred or jagged.
