Adobe Illustrator files are made up of a series of shapes, lines and text. They can be scaled up or down with no loss of quality. This is the preferred format for most screen printing. Common vector file extensions: *.ai * .eps.

If your artwork is an illustration with solid colours (Vector Image) Please save this type of file as an Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file.

Raster files – Tone images
Advantages: Photo realistic results.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for logos due to pixelated edges, problems with scaling and art prep for decorating.

Adobe Photoshop files are made up of series of dots (pixels) When they are scaled up the quality is reduced as the edges can become blurry (Pixelated) Common raster file extensions ; *  .psd * .jpg * .tiff * .png * .jpeg * .pict *

If jpeg images are supplied for transfers, we require them to be supplied at actual size and with the resolution at 300 Dots Per Inch (dpi). We do not accept low resolution images, such as images from the internet as they will produce low quality print results.

The widely accepted resolution for screen printing artwork and production of digital transfers is 300dpi. Images at lower resolutions can be printed, but that can produce low quality results.

If your artwork is a photo / half-tone image (Raster Image) please save this type of file as a photoshop (psd) file. At minimum 300 dpi.

Vector graphics and Bitmap source images can also be combined in screen printing and output as an illustrator eps file. We can also turn Bitmap images into Vector graphics for screen print and transfers.
