hi folks,

Just to ask what are folk's preferences for printing re: file format??

I've read that its very hard to tell the difference between a top quality jpeg file and a tiff file- when printed on a good quality printer.

many thanks in advance

I own a large format 24" Epson printer. I cannot tell the difference between a good jpeg and a tiff. I use tiff as my intermediate format in Photoshop. It's no problem to send a jpeg to the printer; especially when the file is already converted to the color space of the printer.

Home printing or shop printing??

If shop printing, then supply it in whatever format they ask for it. That way, if it goes wrong, it's their problem.
