Providing Usable Art for Your Prints

 

RASTER ARTWORK

Raster art is made of pixels, tiny colored squares that make up the image. These are great for photos or complex designs, but they don’t like being stretched too big. If you enlarge a raster file too much, it can look blurry or pixelated.

Picture Perfect, at the correct size
  • Used in photography and in certain drawing applications
Good File Types
  • Photoshop Files (.psd)
  • .TIFF Files
  • .JPEG Files

Files types that we cannot accept include any PNG and GIF files.

File Sizes

Make sure your file size is at minimum 100 DPI at final print size, this DPI size cannot be made any larger, it can only be made smaller! A file that’s 300 DPI at 10″ × 10″ can be enlarged to 30″ × 30″ and still look great.

Vector Artwork

Think of vector art like magic math for design. Instead of being made of tiny squares (pixels), it’s built from formulas that let you scale up or down without ever losing quality. So whether your logo ends up on a napkin or a 10-foot banner, it’ll stay razor sharp.
