Well, the editor of the journal has a PS printer and the designer will be using PS for production work. Finale is installed on the editor's computer, so I don't see any issue whatsoever about using EPS, as all the people involved have PS printers. > TIFF will give you somewhat larger file sizes, but they can easily be > imported into MS Word or any DTP program, they can be resized, and they > don't need a PS printer to print well.

Well, it's going to be used by a frigging professional graphic designer (who will be well-paid), so I do believe they won't have any problems at all with EPS. I still haven't seen any practical advice specific to Finale EPS export. I feel like I might as well not have asked. -- David W.
