Hi all,

I think that the best way to have my printer produce scores is to have him read my files rather than giving proofs from my printer (which is not that high a resolution).  He can download Finale NotePad and go from there, or perhaps a better solution is for me to prepare .eps or .tiff files for him to import into Corel.  Here he can deal with page layout and mix in pages from other programs, like the cover page for instance.

I am wondering:
  • What are the pros and cons re .eps or .tiff?  Does one produce better quality output than the other?
  • Do I have to copy fonts that he might not have or are they not needed in these formats?  
  • In making .eps files Finale asks that I switch to a postscript printer; does that mean that I need the printer drivers from the print shop?
  • When I select resolution (1200dpi) to match the out put of his machine I get a very low resolution on screen (72dpi or less)  Why is this?   
I appreciate the vast wealth or knowledge and experience available on this list.

PS  Are .etf file useful for this purpose?

thanks
