What is the difference between Vector and Bitmap art?
VECTOR ART: All art must be created as (or converted to) vector art for your imprinted product. Vector art is made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors. Vector art is “resolution independent” and can be re-sized without loss of quality. IMPORTANT: Text should be converted to outlines, paths or curves. This way your order will not be delayed because of font issues. BITMAP ART: Bitmap (or Raster) art is created using a program like Adobe Photoshop or scanned art. A raster image consists of a grid, or bitmap, of small squares known as pixels. Bitmap images a fixed resolution and may degrade in quality (look jagged or “pixilated”) as they are resized. If you send raster art we may be able to use it as a template to convert the art into vector format, however, this will incur additional art charges.
