About EPS to PS Conversion
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and PS (PostScript) are both based on Adobe's PostScript page description language, but they serve different purposes. EPS is a single-graphic format designed to be embedded within other documents, with a defined bounding box and strict encapsulation rules. PS is a full page description format that can contain multiple pages, print-specific instructions, and device-dependent commands. Converting EPS to PS wraps the encapsulated graphic into a complete PostScript document.
This conversion is necessary when EPS artwork needs to be sent directly to PostScript printers or processed by PostScript-based workflow automation systems that expect full PS documents rather than encapsulated graphics.
Why Convert EPS to PS?
PostScript printers and RIP (Raster Image Processor) systems often expect complete PS documents with proper page setup commands, rather than bare EPS files. While many modern RIPs can handle EPS directly, legacy systems and certain automated print workflows require the full PS wrapper with DSC (Document Structuring Conventions) comments, page dimensions, and print instructions.
PS format also allows combining multiple graphics on a single page, adding margins, and specifying paper size -- features that EPS's single-graphic encapsulation does not provide. Converting EPS to PS gives you a print-ready document with proper page geometry.
Common Use Cases
- Send EPS artwork directly to PostScript printers that require full PS document format
- Process EPS graphics through automated PostScript workflow systems
- Add page dimensions, margins, and positioning to EPS artwork for printing
- Combine EPS bounding box artwork into a standard page format for proofing
- Prepare EPS files for legacy prepress systems that only accept PS input
How It Works
The conversion wraps the EPS content within a DSC-compliant PostScript document structure. This includes adding a PostScript header with version identification, page setup commands (translate, scale), page dimensions derived from the EPS bounding box (or a specified paper size), and proper showpage commands. The EPS's PostScript code is embedded verbatim within a save/restore context to maintain encapsulation. Ghostscript handles the conversion, preserving all vector paths, fonts, and raster data from the original EPS.
Quality & Performance
The conversion is lossless. The EPS PostScript code is embedded within the PS document without modification. All vector paths, text, colors, and embedded images are preserved exactly. The only additions are the page structure commands that wrap the EPS content.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use PS format only when your printer or workflow specifically requires PostScript -- PDF is preferred for modern printing
- 2The EPS bounding box determines the PS page size unless you specify a different paper dimension
- 3Test the PS output with a PostScript interpreter like Ghostscript before sending to production printers
- 4For multiple EPS graphics that need to print on a single page, compose them in a layout application first
- 5Binary EPS content is preserved in the PS output -- ensure your printer supports binary PostScript if applicable
