Definition: Based on the PostScript language, EPS or Encapsulated PostScript is a vector format designed for printing to PostScript printers and imagesetters. It is considered the best choice of graphics format for high resolution printing of illustrations. EPS files are typically created and edited in illustration programs such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. Some page layout programs can also export individual pages of a publication as EPS images. Because EPS images support embedded paths which can be used as clipping paths, they are frequently used when needing a transparent background in a page layout program.
Pronunciation: Usually sounded out a letter at a time: e-p-s
