The advantages of 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 foiling, embossing, debossing 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.
