What is the big deal with Vector files and Raster files when it comes to printing or making a sign or banner?
Well we have all heard the old saying “Garbage In = Garbage Out”, that simply means that if your original file is a Raster format, like a jpg, tiff, png, bmp, gif, or similar and the overall size of your file is lets say one inch by one inch and you want to make a 4 foot by 8 foot sign, you can guarantee that by the time your logo file is enlarged from its original size it will be garbage and very pixelated.
On the other hand, if your original file is a “Vector” format which is a scalable file and regardless if the original is one inch by one inch, it will enlarge crisp and clean in perfect quality with no pixelation.
Examples of programs that create “Vector” files would be Adobe Illustrator,
Corel Draw or Serif DrawPlus (see link below to download for Free). Raster programs would be Adobe Photoshop, Windows Publisher or Paint, and other various low end greeting card making software.
Econo Sign can print from just about any type of file, however some files are better
than others. We prefer vector files, but some high resolution bitmaps at 300dpi
are acceptable. Confused about the difference between vector and bitmap? Click
the logo from our other web site the Decal-
At Econo Sign we design most all of our signs, banners and decals in high quality vector format to retain top quality and crisp lines for large or small orders that ensure beautiful looking products.
