    and regarding file size, it definitely is a concern... as an EPS file size is directly related to the physical dimensions, so a large 10' banner of even a very basic logo can end up 10x larger file than the native AI file.

    compression of course will fix that but still, can get heavy for clients who are computer illiterate.

    • right. but I hope you're doing scaled versions of 10' banners and not ones at actual size.doesnotexist
    • well, it's easier anyways. printer can just scale it.doesnotexist
    • not always, and this was just an extreme example to illustrate my pointinkpink
    • ... a complex 1 page 11x17 illustration saved out as EPS is gonna be huge compared to native aiinkpink
