Why when I download file eps it is low quality

Correct answer Brad @ Roaring Mouse

Depends on where you are seeing this. Have you opened the file in Illustrator? or have you placed it as-is and then printed it?

It's also possible what you are seeing is merely the low-res preview saved with the file. EPS require a Postscript printer to print accurately, so if you don't have one (most don't these days) your printer is only using the low-res preview. If you, however, create a PDF of your file, this will convert the EPS into PDF code which your printer can then render in its best resolution.

Hello @mona23464911w793,

Sorry to hear about this experience. As suggested by Monika, EPS is not necessarily a vector artwork.

Kindly share the file here or via DM so we can check it on our end, as suggested by Bill and Lambiloon.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Where are you downloading your eps files from? Does whatever place you're downloading from have a "quality" option that needs to be checked (and probably needs to be paid extra for)?

From where do you download the EPS?

Can you please show a screenshot of the low quality?

EPS is not necessarily a vector artwork.
