I'm confused about the best way to prep a photo for the best printing results. I'm talking about using photos as part of a printed piece like a brochure, etc.... I work in both cmyk and 2 or 3-color spot color printing.
I used to hear that all photos should be saved as .tif for the best quality output at the printer.
Use .eps format when necessary only....
1. When using a duotone...
2. When using a clipping path
Some printers will accept cmyk jpg format and say that there is NO difference in output quality from a TIF....
Is that true????
Question: For highest quality output,what formats are most appropriate?
eps, tif, or jpg???
Question: When should you use which format?
