Which programs use Vector? Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are two popular vector art programs.
Common Vector Problem: Missing Font
If you are using a rare font, send us the font file (.ttf) with your vector design file (.ai .cdr)
 Solution 2:
Alternatively, send us a copy of your file with all fonts converted to curves (outlined). Be sure to save the original under a different name in case you want to edit the text later on. |
What is a Raster file?
Raster files use pixels to display an image.

Advantage of Raster: Raster files are good for photographs. It can print well when you set your image size and quality high.
Disadvantage of Raster: Raster files can look blurry when enlarged. Be sure to save at high quality from the start.
Which programs use Raster? Adobe Photoshop is a popular raster program. Most images online are raster files as well.
Common Raster Problem: Low Quality Image
When creating a new document in Photoshop, select Image > Image Size and set the quality to 300 DPI. Note that enlarging a low quality jpg will not increase the quality. Once you have a higher quality image, send it to us!
