Blackfoot Logos – 4 formats
Blackfoot logos are provided in each of four widely supported digital file formats. These are TIFF (tif), EPS (e-p-s), GIF (gif or jif) and JPEG (jay-peg). A given graphic can be saved in any of the four formats, but each one has particular strengths that can be lost when converting from one to the other. Learn more about each format here.

TIFF
Advantages: Fonts are imbedded in image. Works well with paint/image editing applications. Prints well on postscript and non-postscript printers. Uses lossless LZW compression.
Disadvantages: Permanently converts spot colors to process. Large file size (compared to vector-based graphics). Loses image quality when enlarged. Text cannot be edited with text tools.

EPS
Advantages: Preferred by graphics professionals for use with vector graphics. Very small file size. Editable text. Works with vector-based graphics. Supports spot colors. Does not lose image quality when enlarged.
Disadvantages: Prints unacceptably on non-postscript compatible printers. Requires linked font files if text not converted to artwork. Cannot be edited in paint applications unless converted to bitmap.

GIF
Advantages: For web graphics with areas of solid color. Background color can be made transparent. Supports web animation. File size can be reduced by limiting the number of colors used. Built-in, customizable color table gives good color control.
Disadvantages: Maximum 256 colors. Most GIF's are saved at screen resolution (72 dpi--unacceptable for print). Text cannot be edited with text tools. Loses image quality when enlarged.

JPEG
Advantages: For full-color web graphics (photographs).Uses compression optimized for reducing file size for web publishing.
Disadvantages: Compression proportionally reduces image quality. Compression results in progressive color shifts. Most JPEGs are saved at screen resolution (72 dpi--unacceptable for print). Most JPEGs are compressed too much for use in print. Loses image quality when enlarged.
