I have an AI-bestand from 1300 kb. When I save it to EPS 10, its much too big (15 - 25 mb). I have one layer, I do not know how to solve this problem.
Can anybody help me? I have tried so much...

How big is your artboard? Might want to try making your arboard smaller and then reducing your artwork to fit the new size.

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago even with scalling everything down the eps file was still over 20mb so I ended up re-doing the entire file.

The number of objects with gradients and mesh increases the size, also the number of anchor points. Can you post the image here so that we could have a look why it could be that big?

+1. Reduce the whole vector and artboard size. Twice or four times - it doesn't matter for buyer. It helps.

Actually, it does. I cam make some HUGE files, and a few times when I've reduced the artwork size too much, I got a rejection something to the effect of, 'the artwork is too small, too difficult to see at highest magnification' or something like that. As an artist I know that the buyer can 'select all' and make it bigger, but maybe the reviewer needs to be able to see everything at a reasonable size, and not inconvenience the buyer. I can see why they rejected me for that.

Well, the gradient meshes are seldom creating any problems in the file size, but transparencies and different blend modes combined with each other and gradients can.
