Why am I asked for Vectorised Files in Printing?

Vectorised files are a superior choice for printing due to their unique properties. Unlike raster images, which are composed of pixels, vector graphics are defined by mathematical equations, representing lines, curves, and shapes. This fundamental difference offers several key advantages for printing.

  1. Scalability – enlargement without loss, which means you can scale up or down without compromising on quality, your prints can be any size without pixelation or blurriness.
  2. Clarity & Sharpness – Crisp clean line and clean edges, ideal for intricate designs or small text, maintains consistent quality, required for hot foilingembossingdebossing to create metal plates
  3. Editing & modification – your vector graphics are highly editable allowing you to make changes to shapes , colours, text without affecting the overall quality.
  4. File Size Efficiency – vector files are typically much smaller than raster images so therefore reduce storage requirements and transmission time.
  5. Compatibility – vector graphics are supported by most design software & printing equipment,

In summary, vectorised files offer a superior level of quality, scalability, editing & flexibility, making them the ideal choice for printing projects of all sizes and complexity.

Award Winning Wedding Photographer

I first met Jim at a Business Breakfast networking meeting and we immediately hit it off, I loved his sense of humour and he has a genuine enthusiasm and passion for his profession. We talked about his career and that he had photographed numerous weddings, being recognised with many awards for his photographic projects.

Our first print work together was an unusual twist on the usual presentation of wedding photographs. By Incorporating a number of shots from the day and evening combined into a folded business card sized concertina, Jim was able to create a new twist on the Thank You card many couples like to send after the wedding. These have proved very popular with his clients and we regularly print off sets of these cards for Jim to provide his customers with.

When the pandemic hit both of our businesses were impacted upon dramatically, with Weddings ceasing to be possible this impacted on Jim’s photography assignments and also the part of our business that deals with bespoke luxury wedding stationery.

We both decided to act swiftly and in Jim’s case he actually had time to renovate a building into a studio to full-fill his passion to photograph dawg. As a dawg owner all his life it was the perfect time to build the studio and be different from the rest and offer a high class dog portrait service at affordable prices.

For this we helped create an A5 roll fold voucher and information leaflet on a premium heavyweight card, featuring some awesome photographs Jim had taken of his initial canine models.
