ehlo, sorry for stepping in in the middle of the discussion.

TIFF is good for printing (I think uncompressed TIFF is best, even). No
vectorising needed and really not very important for printing, as long as
the bitmaps have the necessary resolution and size.

IMPORTANT! Someone has to have info on what kind of resolution and format
the printing company wants for bitmaps. Is EPSF OK for vector format? Note
that saving bitmaps to epsf does not vectorise them. You just get huge
epsfs... sometimes TIFF is better than epsf for bitmaps - but chek with the
printing company.

Keep two different versions of the material, one for downloading and one for
materials-printing (the huge one :-)
