I've never had a print house request a file as a jpeg...wonder why they'd want a lossy format to print a publication from?

Could be they don't know what they are doing. Could be they were aiming for
a format the OP would understand. Who knows?

Rob,

Completely OT from the OP request, but jpg has taken a beating over the
years for being a lossy format. I've got to ride to its defense.

If one saves a jpg with maximum compression a couple hundred times, one
might be able to see minute differences. I have, just for the fun of it,
saved the same image 10 times and it is the exact same size in KBs.

I don't "like" ads saved as jpg but I will admit they tend to print
fine, at least in a newspaper.

Yah I know. I've done the same thing but have had inconsistent results...sometimes it'd be fine...other times not, and I'm not eggsactly sure why.

Right...I mean if someone sends you an actual ad image to import into PP. Do
you still prefer TIF?

Brian,

My first preference is pdf, as I can convert it to tif or png for
placement in PP. After that, yes, my preference is for tif, but I can
use almost any format. I've used Print Shop Pro, CAD formats, jpg, wmf,
eps, bmp and a few others.

I see. Just curious as to what your preferred format was. I mentally think
of wmf, png, eps as the top ones that I like to work with. I just get a
feeling of quality with them.
