For printing we try to use EPS, some customers sent files in different formats like TIFF and we convert those to EPS, but sometimes the files don't work good because some customers use a old version for ESP and/or TIFF. Sometimes the easy way is to re-make the design than deal with the old-version... Nice blog! Wow! Great information.

For 10 point type, that is indeed a leading of 12 points. However, for large 200 point text in a poster the standard leading will be 200x1.2 or 240 points. With your rule it would be 202 points and that would cause characters to touch each other. I disagree, because the standard rule for leading is that it is 1.2 times the type size.

I use EPS for photos, TIFF for linework (that was the way I was taught in the industry through Uni/TAFE/industry/College. Hi Lauren,

This is the industry specification but it depends on your eye and you can adjust it if you feel warranted. Golden rule never go less than 1 1/2pt leading type is too closed up then.

TIFF versus EPS, well in my learned experience I believe you use a TIFF when you are colouring a BITMAP file, you can't convert the file to EPS and have the same results. Clipping paths will only work when the file is saved as an EPS. There are reasons why you would use one over the other. Printing processes also figure quite prominently when choosing different file formats. Print production/graphic design/prepress requires years and years of experience/training in this process people will gain a much richer/deeper understanding of file formats and many, many other areas.

What we lack in educated design sensibility we compensate with technical knowledge.
