No, that's not it. It's difficult due to (a) the client is too cheap to buy
real letterhead; and (b) lack of understanding of graphic capabilities and
limitations.

When you tell a customer an EPS is the best logo and they complain that it's
fuzzy on the screen ... well, tough noogies. Get over it. That's the way it
is. But then you have issues where someone can't use it at all because EPS is
not, or at least was not for years, supported by default: you had to choose
it specifically during installation. And then you have the issue of
non-PostScript printers, or printers with crappy cheap emulation.

I have a customer of 5000 seats. Over the years they decided that all
networked printers will have Adobe PostScript, period.

By they way, are you getting paid? Over many years of this, I've had maybe
five or six "customers" who wanted me to do this kind of work, where they
didn't want to buy letterhead. In all but one I got shafted.
