Can anyone help, eps file looking completely different?
Hi guys, a customer has asked me to look at printing this for him, however the eps file his designer is sending me is completely different from the image that they want, I have uploaded both files, can anyone tell me if it’s something I’m doing wrong in corel? I haven’t tried going straight to rip with it as I don’t want to waste any materials… any advice would be sorely welcome, I’m on a tight deadline but don’t want to give the customer the run around if it’s something I’m doing wrong
THE EPS FILE IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD, please pm me for file if you can help
Cheers in advance

Sometimes EPS will not import into Corel, its quite common. Newest version has the latest routines.
Most likely this was designed in Illustrator, king of the illustration world.
Your RIP is likely to show you a preview? I always print a mini-image if unsure onto scrap.

I suspect your file has transparencies/lenses on it and eps/postscript does have limitations with these. If you import as placeable Corel will not interpret the file, you will get a low resolution header but it should print ok to a postscript device.
If you have X5 did you install Ghostscript as well. Ghostscript enables Draw to use level 3 postscript better and that may even be a solution. I use Pstill from http://www.pstill com that can flatten eps and pdf and that will almost certainly sort the problem (can convert fonts to curves as well) Not expensive and a demo is available.
