Definition: EPS (Encapsulated Postscript File): A high resolutionn image stored in the Postscript page description language. The EPS standard enables users to transfer high-resolution grphics images between applications. You can size EPS images without sacrificing image quality. A major drawback of EPS graphics is that to print them, you usually need a Postscript - compatible laser printer. A second drawback is that most application programs, you cannot view the image on-screen unless you attach a screen image to it. To provide an alternative to expensive PostSCript printers, developers have created programs, such as LaserGo, Inc.'s GoScript, that interpret and print EPS files on standard dot-matrix printers or non-Postscript laser printers.
