I want to save an inkscape drawing as a CLEAR backed EPS. My initial save was OK, but now they have a white background.

Don't use any filter effects (blur, shadows,...), and do not rasterize them.

EPS does not support filters, and it also does not support semi-transparency - everything must be either completely transparent, or completely opaque.

Hi Hachmann,
OMG - Genius! I just took out the single 20% tint (a tiny detail) and
suddenly it seems to work!
Just sent the job off to my client and I'll wait to see if it loads at his
end.
Cheers mate!
