TIFF vs. EPS

Photoshop EPS' are also handy because of the ability to "Include Vector Data".

We have a couple of customers that don't understand the concept of a page layout application and will supply us with layered PSD or TIFF images. Thankfully they usually give them to us with native vector text layers that have not been rasterized.

We will then re-save the files as EPS' with the Include Vector Data function. This allows the RIP to process the edges of the text at the LW resolution (1200, 2400, 2540, etc.).

Most RIPs will not treat the text layers of PSDs or TIFFs as vector, thus they become rasterized and soft.
