Well Ive never seen anyone in a studio or service Bureau use bitmaps
(meaning files with a .bmp extension) for anything outside of low-end
projects.

.bmp meaning bitmap images as used by windows application mainly versus
the more generic bitmap versus vector image classification.

Most people discourage using that format for camera-ready art because
of the reasons I detailed in earlier post

If you want blurry graphics with ragged edges that dont always print
well -- enjoy.
