bemisup1 -> EPS file (3/31/2017 5:35:10 PM)

I am having trouble getting my greeting cards printed at my digital press store. He says my logo and the fonts are bitmap images which doesn't give me the best quality needed for a greeting card. I had imported the JPEG image of my logo. How did it end up as bitmap? I used the logos from Printshop, how did they end up as bitmap? My printer said EPS is the best, but I can't figure out how to import it. How can I import my logo EPS file..can I do this?

What your professional printer is trying to tell you, is "Give me a vector image. JPEG is not vector. JPEG is bitmap/ raster."

There are essentially two types of images:
1. raster (made up of pixels - bitmap and JPEG are raster)
2. vector (defined by mathematical equations - they can be rescaled with no distortion/ pixelation)

Print Shop is a raster image program. It cannot produce vector files, which is why it can't create EPS format. To create your logo as a vector graphic and your text as curves (vector), you need a vector drawing program. An example is Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator.

If you do not wish to hire a professional logo designer who would create a vector image for you, then the best you can do with The Print Shop is to create the highest resolution bitmap image you can.

Design your logo full page on 8.5 x 11. Save as JPEG at 300 dpi. The result should be around 3000 pixels by 2400 pixels. This is more than adequate for a greeting card.

As an example, see how I've designed this logo as large as I could on letter size paper? When saved as best quality, highest resolution JPEG, it will print sharp on any document that's smaller than a letter size page. However, JPEG can't have transparent background. If you need transparent background, read my blog article here:

Having said this, I design vector logos for my clients. Vector logos can be printed as small as a postage stamp or as big as a billboard, and the print is ultra-sharp with no distortion, no pixelation.
