DCS Files

File Type: Raster Image

File Extension : .eps

An Encapsulated PostScript file is an image file is a variation of the EPS file that is generated using a multipart format known as as a Desktop Color Separated (DCS) file.

The DCS file consists of a master channel and a separate high-resolution channel for each color. Due to its preseparated nature, these multipart DCS files only work in a preseparated workflow. Special provisions need to be made for the DCS file in a composite workflow.

DCS files are not all bas news! They find a great home in a preseparated workflows, and most often off of copydot scanning devices.
