The problem,
To fit the plotter, the EPS file had to be rotated (in Adobe
Illustrator, I believe).
Although the printer rotated the EPS file, the printed image did
not
rotate. In fact, the un-rotated image no longer covered just the
North Sea (as intended) but covered the whole of Europe and North
Africa.
Dataview Solutions, our Mapinfo dealer were unable to provide any
asistance with this matter and we ended up pursuing a completely
different, and unsatisfactory, solution.

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.
