Saving files in EPS format for printing


You can save files in EPS-DCS format for printing. It is important to note that you cannot reopen EPS-DCS files in Corel Painter. Therefore, you should also save a copy in another format first so that you can reopen it in Corel Painter.

When saving to EPS-DCS, you can enable an output preview, such as color preview. Corel Painter uses the loaded ICC profiles to control separation. If the output preview is disabled, Corel Painter uses the default separation tables. For more information, see Understanding color management.

The images that you save as encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files conform to the Desktop Color Separation (EPS-DCS) format.

To save a file in EPS format for printing

Back to Top
1 Choose File Save As.
2 In the Save Image As dialog box, choose PostScript EPSF from the Format (macOS) or Save as type (Windows) list box, and click Save.
3 In the EPS Save Options dialog box, enable the Hex (ASCII) picture data check box to change the data format.
Enabling this check box allows another method of storing PostScript information, but it approximately doubles the size of the saved file. Some programs require this option to be enabled.
4 Enable one of the following output preview options:
No preview
Black and white preview
Color preview
You may need to enable the Black and white preview option to print EPS files on some laser printers. Although the preview or display is in black and white, the color information remains intact.
If you are creating a document that is destined for printing as well as online viewing (for example, a PDF file), enable the Color preview option.

Corel Painter uses the device’s default screening information to produce high-quality color separations. If the No preview option is enabled when you save a file in EPS format, Corel Painter uses the Color Studio separation tables with your device’s default screening.
