If I get something printed thats a JPEG file will it not be as good of quality as a adobe PDF file?
I dont know how to save in anything other than JPEG but all my other files seem to be adobe PDF, so dont want to pay for it printing from a JPEG if its going to be rubbish quality.

I dont understand all this and I am extremely confused by it all

Can anyone help please? Im just about to go the printers!!

Thanks

I think it depends - hubby says a good quality jpeg will print better than a poor quality pdf.

Does that help at all?!

Your best bet would be to show the printers what you have and ask them, they are the specialists, they also know what they're printing equipment is capable of

I suppose it depends on the printer Helen, some ask for pdfs over jpgs some want high res jpgs over pdfs. As long as either are the highest res you can get them (300dpi or more), they should be fine.
