Hello,
I'm just starting to learn how to use Inkscape. I wanted to vectorize a bitmap image that represents my signature, and I'm getting exactly what I want (my signature in black and vectorized)
But the thing is, there’s still a white background color that I would like to remove. This way, I can place my signature on any background color without having "a big white square around it"
I’m not sure if I expressed myself clearly, but I hope you understand what I mean.
Can you help me? Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 23.0.1271.64

Unfortunately, the EPS format does not handle transparency... But I am still surprised that LaTeX does not treat EPS as EPS and instead previews it. Perhaps you are not printing on a PostScript printer?
Check this point by printing your document via a virtual PostScript printer.
To eliminate the white background, you need to incorporate a clipping mask. That is what we used to do before when we didn't know about PDF or native PSD in layout software.
But on office printers, there must be other file formats that can yield better results... try EMF or even AI.

It is the file format that is important depending on its use.
By default, Inkscape's file format is SVG; however, some software does not accept this file format. So depending on the software in which you want to use your signature, use a file format accordingly.
WMF and EMF are the vector formats for Windows and compatible with the Office suite.
