A common question we get asked is what file type is needed for printing.
If your looking for large format printing with crisp lines, then we need Vector files.
A vector file is an image format built using mathematical formulas, lines, and curves rather than pixels. Because they recalculate their size mathematically, vector graphics can scale infinitely without ever becoming blurry or pixelated. eg .eps, ai, cdr, .svg and true .pdf (not converted) files .
Files like .jpegs are commonly used for their small file sizes allowing for quick transfer and fast access for viewing online.
Because .jpes are made up using lots of dots called pixels, when enlarged, each individual pixel is enlarged making the image look blurry. Screen shots and copy & pasting from the internet are pretty much useless due to their small size.
