Technical Aspects of Your Design
In order to come up with a workable proof, we need to make sure your art is in the right format. These technical details matter, and we'll help you through the process at Hi-Tech Ad Specialties.
To start, we strongly encourage you to send your files as vector art (AI, EPS, or PDF). These files provide superior reproduction quality, and they allow images to be resized without loss of sharpness or detail. Some high-quality raster formats can also be used, including PNG, JPG, and PSD.
Raster images use colored pixels to complete the image. Almost all photos online or in catalogs are raster images. When these images are enlarged, the quality diminishes because the same number of pixels are spread across a larger space. This is why images become pixelated with low resolution or a grainy appearance. Raster images aren't ideal for printing logos on promotional items.
By contrast, vector images are more flexible and are ideal for graphics that need to be resized frequently. When you provide your logo in vector format, it can be used on small items like business cards or letterheads along with larger surfaces like t-shirts or tote bags. You can even export vector images for websites and newsletters.
If you're not sure what type of file you have, just ask. If you want a more detailed logo or additional design work, we can handle that for an additional fee. We'll discuss your needs and specifications. If the art needs to be touched up or recreated, our graphic artist can convert any type of artwork.
