# Anyone here have much experience with .EPS vector files that could help me out by answering a few Q's?? need to get some die cut vinyl decals printed urgently and i'm a little lost with why the file I provided is not usable as its not a true vector file,
apparently just converting it isn't good enough or some such...

Flame away!

# if it is an encapsulated postscript file then it can contain non vector elements, for instance think of it as a container holding the vectors but also containing a separate bitmap .bmp file
A true vector graphic would only contain the vectors needed to draw the image and probably the colours to fill parts of the image. A scalable vector graphic .svg file may be an example of this.

Hope that helps, let the corrections commence if I'm way off.

# Pixel element created using Photoshop or other raster graphics editor would be fine
so long as you include a vector-based clipping path in the file. But preferably make the whole thing in Illustrator to begin with.
