Encapsulated PostScript Interchange with TIFF Preview (.ept)
The EPT file extension stands for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange with TIFF Preview. It is primarily used in professional graphic design and desktop publishing, particularly with Adobe software. EPT files combine PostScript data for high-quality printing with a TIFF preview for on-screen viewing. This format emerged to facilitate the exchange of complex graphic files between different systems and applications, ensuring both print accuracy and visual consistency. Its adoption has been crucial in workflows requiring precise color management and detailed image rendering.
