EPS is not really a supported file type in FileMaker.

What you are seeing printed is the graphic header of the eps file, which is basically a thumbnail bitmap representation of the vector data that is an "Encapsulated PostScript" file. FileMaker doesn't not know how to interpret the PostScript in the file and just prints out the header instead. The other programs you printed it from DO know how to interpret PS and know what to do with it.

I suggest that you save it as a PNG, which handles vector graphic data nicely and IS supported by FMP.

It's an EPS (encapsulated PostScript) file, which I thot was supposed to be the very highest quality, but evidently not. Any idea why FMP 12 renders it less clearly than other programs?
