SHOULDN'T SEND OFF THESE ILLUSTRATOR FILES TO COMMERCIAL PRINTERS AS THEY COULD EDIT FINAL PIECE. 


THE 2 MAIN TYPE OF FILES TO USE/BE AWARE OF

PDF - 'Portable Document File'. It is flat and is designed to be unedited e.g. poster for leeds. You can lock the file down and flatten the image.

EPS - 'Encapsulated Postscrip File'.  Another main industry file when sending to commercial printing. Imbeds all the fonts, flattens the image and locks it.
