What is Vector artwork??
Vector artwork is computer generated artwork made from points and lines. Vector artwork can be edited and scaled without losing any quality. Vector artwork tends to be solid block colours and shapes, such as cartoon artwork and text. (See example below). Screen printed discs and USBs require all artwork supplied as vector artwork.
Vector artwork is created in Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw and is essential to reproducing your logo on most promotional products. Vector artwork files include: .eps, .ai, .cdr and .ps. Vector files differ from bitmap or raster files (.jpg, .gif, .tiff, .bmp) because they can be perfectly manipulated to any size or dimension. Bitmap files will blur if you increase their size. Vector files will not, they use thousands of reference points and proportionately resize your logo for a clean, crisp appearance every time. Additionally, vector files allow for color separations which is essential for spot-color imprints where each color is laid down one at a time.
