Postscript, Adobe Illustrator (.ai), PDF or SVG. Ghoscript will work
with all of them. TIFF supposedly supports vector but I've never
really seen it used that way, it's only real distinction is that it's
lossless raster which is why photographers tend to use it.

OK, thanks for clarifying that. I'll check out your suggestions.
What should the graphic designer provide the vector graphic image
template in for development then? They usually work I believe in
something like PhotoShop or Quark. I'm guessing, TIFF? Thanks!

Don't know why I typed psd, that's the photoshop file format. You want PDF.
Ghostscript is still the best open source utility for manipulating
Postscript and PDF files. The gswrapper project on sourceforge has a
php wrapper.

Thanks for helping me make sense out of all this! Just to make sure I
have this right...
So to get the highest possible printing quality, return to the graphic
designer and ask for the template image generated as a vector graphic?
What file format should that be in ready for programming image over
And when your creating a PDF you can specify the resolution of
included images (which are typically embedded as a JPEG) but this
defeats the entire reason for using PSD. You really want to use
vector PSD for printing if it's possible for your workflow.

If you're doing large format printing you will want to use vector
graphics, not raster which will rule out jpeg or png.
Most print shops support PS, PSD and SVG. When using these formats
make sure your using vector output and not putting a raster image in
them (which they support).
Done properly
I've noticed that when I've take a large file graphic image, that PDF
makes a smaller file out of the whole thing. I'm wondering if there is
a way to tell PDF not to do that to allow the printer to munch on the
higher quality image?

I've seen some articles about PHP graphics programming over the years,
but I don't have first-hand knowledge of using any of them. So I'd
like some advice on how to approach this task:
