Then you open the file and it's the same low resolution .jpg they sent you to begin with, this time embedded into the .eps.
That is why we charge one time to make a logo from any artwork. So no matter what we get we can take the time to make it look good. Sometimes if we see the art ahead of time we might make exceptions for large jobs that will be lasered. The charge is much less for sublimation if there isn't much work needed.
There is another small charge each time the logo is engaved or lasered.
We make most logos engraveable to since sooner or later most people will want to diamond drag something. So many times even eps line art needs a lot of work to remove layered objects, figure out how to make color or gradient art look good in 2 color, increase spacing/reduce size between objects so they don't engrave together and add the hatch lines.
You have costs even if they give you good art.
Coreldraw did not give me software so I could open a customer file and use it.
Xenetech did not give me software to add hatch lines to the artwork.
The electric company does not pause the meter while I open customer artwork, etc. and I don't get up in the morning to come and work for free.
If you want to add the cost in with the product or other charges that will be unfair to those that don't need it. Some people use the same logo for 40 years and others change it every 2 years. It makes more sense to us to charge separately as the need arises.

Sei,
Does this mean you have plans to become self-employed?
