We present maps of the temperature distribution on the spotted RS CVn-type binary EI Eri (HD 26337), obtained by means of the surface imaging technique described in the Colloquium (Piskunov, 1991). Images were calculated for two separate lines for two epochs of observation. For one epoch we also calculated an image using a blend of several lines. The reliability of the maps is confirmed by comparing the simultaneous photometric observations with the light curves calculated from the temperature maps.
