A PDF of it exported fine, and can zoom without loss of quality, but they say they can't use it for some reason - their exact wording is "what he needs is a vectorised, editable eps file in black"
PDF is vector, editable file. It is much preferable to PS or EPS. A printer that cannot take PDF is not really up to date these days.
The EPS I exported won't open again in Inkscape :-} but does open in Photoshop - but upon zooming, it appears to have turned into a bitmap rather than a vector image.
Sure enough, Photoshop is a raster editor, so it rasterized it.
Can anyone advise of a way to do what they're asking for ? (i'm an absolute newbie with gfx apps unfortunately)
If your file is simple (no transparency or blur), either EPS or PDF produced by Inkscape should be fine. You can use Ghostscript to view the EPS (or PDF) to see it is vector.
