What’s the technical difference? I’m interested in switching from Illustrator to Inkscape and would prefer to work exclusively with SVG, but is this going to be a problem for my team if they stay on Illustrator? Are .ai’s more capable than SVGs or EPS?
Answer
-
PDF (AI) is the modern vector graphics standard for print workflow
-
EPS is the legacy vector graphics standard for print workflow
-
SVG is the vector graphics standard for WorldWideWeb publishing.
If you only use SVG you will lose print workflow features. If you are working on a team that uses print workflow, that will be problematic.
If your whole team wants to move to a WorldWideWeb workflow, then maybe you could do that, but you would have to have a really good reason in order to make it worth it. For example, if you are only doing Web publishing and you all find the Inkscape environment to be more productive.
