GRAPHICS
Vector graphics are computer graphics images defined in terms of 2D points connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes. Each of these points has a definite position on the x- and y-axis of the work plane and determines the direction of the path; further, each path may have various properties, including values for stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill. Vector graphics are commonly found today in the SVG, EPS, PDF or AI file formats and are intrinsically different from the more common raster graphics file formats such as JPEG, PNG, APNG, GIF, and MPEG4.
Vector art is ideal for printing since it is made from a series of mathematical curves; it will print very crisply even when resized. For instance, one can print a vector logo on a small sheet of copy paper and then enlarge the same vector logo to billboard size and keep the same crisp quality. A low-resolution raster graphic would blur or pixelate excessively if enlarged from business card to billboard size. (The precise resolution of a raster graphic necessary for high-quality results depends on the viewing distance; e.g., a billboard may still appear to be of high quality even at low resolution if the viewing distance is great enough.)
If we regard typographic characters as images, then the same considerations we have made for graphics apply even to the composition of written text for printing (typesetting). Older character sets were stored as bitmaps. Therefore, to achieve maximum print quality, they had to be used at a given resolution; these font formats are said to be non-scalable. High-quality typography is nowadays based on character drawings (fonts), which are typically stored as vector graphics and as such, are scalable to any size. Examples of these vector formats for characters are Postscript fonts and TrueType fonts.
ORDER
Our website has the ability to allow customers to upload artwork while adding products into the cart, While you can always email us your artwork or dropbox/drive/wetransfer links to info@exhibitsupply.com
