Bitmap Versus Vector
Bitmaps images are made up entirely of pixels. When enlarging a
bitmap image, additional pixels are added to create this new size.
The “new” pixels pick up and average colors from neighboring pixels
in an attempt to create a new color that will blend between areas.This
is where the overall image suddenly becomes soft and blurry and
sharp defined edges develop noticeable jagged pixelated edges
Bitmap - Raster Image
Vector graphics use points, lines and curves to create an image. It’s
based on mathematical formulas and unlike bitmaps can be enlarged
to any size, any resolution, without losing detail.

How To Prepare Graphic Files
Templates - Size
Layout guidelines and templates can be downloaded
from each of the product pages on our website.
Make your graphic dimensions match the product
you are purchasing.
Your image should be to size of your product at 72-150 dpi.
Bleeds: Not all products require bleeds; check
guidelines.
Resolution - File Types
Final size files are only required to be 72–150 dpi.
You can view your file in Photoshop at 100% to see
how it will look when printed.
If designing to reduced scale, adjust dpi accordingly.
We accept files from the following programs and
formats: Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator: .ai,
.psd, .tiff, .eps and high resolution jpg.
Color
Your print file must be in CMYK format. Colors can look drastically different when converted
from RGB. We can color match with a provided PMS
code and editable files. However, we can only guarantee color accuracy when
a printed proof is ordered and approved.
Proofs
We rely solely on your approval of the proof as final verification and acceptance of the project.
We always e-mail a digital proof before production. It is your responsibility to proofread all your text.
Spelling or grammatical errors are your responsibility. Please be aware that we will print your graphics exactly as you send them to us.
After your proof has been delivered, we will wait for your approval before printing your artwork.
Any adjustment to your graphic can take time and fees may apply if your modifications or adjustments take an hour or more.
