What is a ZIP file?
A zip file is a compressed archive. The image file is compressed both for speed of transmission via the internet and to protect the structural integrity of the image. Before you use them, they will need to be decompressed.
For PC users, the product WinZip will decompress the files. When downloading, you will be prompted to open the file or save it to disk. Choose "save to disk" and click OK. If you save the file, a window will open so you may choose where you want the file saved. (You will be able to rename the file at this point.) Click OK. You may then use Winzip to extract the image file.
Macintosh users may decompress the images using ZipIt or StuffIt Expander. If you are using ZipIt, a folder with the downloaded file or the decompressed file will appear on your desktop. Double-click on the name of the file, then choose where you want the image saved. If using StuffIt, open StuffIt, then Expand the file that downloaded to your desktop. After the file is decompressed, drag it into the folder where you want it saved. When you complete the decompression process, drag the compressed file into your Trash.
If you do not have decompression software, you can download WinZip from www.winzip.com, ZipIt from www.maczipit.com and StuffIt Expander from www.aladdinsys.com.

EPS Images (Encapsulated PostScript)
When you build ads to send to your newspaper or publication, you will need to use the EPS files. If you are going to print anything with an EPS file in it, you must use at least a Level 2 PostScript printer. For the best possible results, you should use page layout software, but you can use any program that allows for the importation of EPS files.
This site contains both bitmapped and vectored art. Adobe Illustrator or vectored art images may be enlarged without limit; the quality of the image when printed depends on the quality of the printer or output device. To avoid image degradation, on photographic images should be enlarged up to, but not beyond, 150%.The EPS files included in this site work with both Macintosh and PC computer platforms.

How do I open the art files?
