Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
PostScript Raster (Encapsulated PostScript). These files are used primarily on PostScript printers. These printers usually offer more variety of fonts and higher resolution than standard laser printers. EPS files will work on any PostScript compatible printer and any end-user application that supports placement of EPS files in its work space.
The image that you save to an EPS file is always a PostScript raster image.
You can save only an 8-bits PostScript raster image, which is grayscale.
