Encapsulated PostScript

(Wikipedia) Encapsulated PostScript, or EPS, is a DSC-conforming PostScript document with additional restrictions intended to make EPS files usable as a graphics file format. In other words, EPS files are more-or-less self-contained, reasonably predictable PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing, that can be placed within another PostScript document.

At a minimum, an EPS file contains a BoundingBox DSC comment, describing the rectangle containing the image described by the EPS file. Applications can use this information to lay out the page, even if they are unable to directly render the PostScript inside.

EPS, together with DSC’s Open Structuring Conventions, form the basis of early versions of the Adobe Illustrator Artwork file format.

There are different eps types (using different levels)

eps level2 compression is higher because use chars

eps level1 compression is lower because use hex (in chars)

Ubuntu (Gimp,…) uses level2 but latex likes level1 (Solved in Ubuntu 9.04)

Solution make a png and then make the eps using imagemagick’s convert.

Solution2: Install PS printer HP 9500 ps e imprimir con las opciones:

Propiedades –> General –> Preferencias de Impresión –> Opciones de
documento –> Opciones de PostScript –> Opción de salida PostScript :
PostScript Encapsulado (EPS)

After with ghostview save ps to eps.
