Hi,
One point to be clarified........the EPS file can be loaded on ADOBE
Illustrator.
As far as manipulating the image is concerned, then I would like to know
what exactly is the
problem in printing through the EPS files.
Priting through EPS files should not be a problem, for any size, be it A0
or something else.
The EPS files can be made easily through MapInfo.
Thnx

Subject: MI Output Files for A0 printing
I can happily print from Mapinfo to my HPDesignjet at A0 size, but
I
needed to produce a Wallmap using a commercial printer (4-colour
process films) due to the number of maps required.
The repro-house (being Mac-based) didn't like WMF files, so I tried
generating an EPS file from Mapinfo (v4.0). The EPS file failed
miserably;
"There seems to be a major problem in the output from Mapinfo and
in
our experience we have never satisfactorily been able to plot from
this software to high-resolution film output."
The EPS file cannot be loaded into Illustrator or Freehand, which
would solve most of the problems as the image can then be
manipulated
in a Mac format.
I did look at using MapPublisher, but this would have involved a
great
deal of time re-constructing the map.
A few questions;
Am I missing something ?
Do more recent versions of Mapinfo solve this problem ?
Is there a better way of doing this ?
I would be most grateful for any solutions/suggestions.
