Raster to Vector Converter

If you were in any type of marketing or industry that has to do with printing whether it's promotional products offset printing or even Web graphics you know that vector artwork is a master for clean and sharp reproduction. The majority of the people don't know what the differences between a raster image and a vector image which can cause delays in production and issues that could have been prevented by submitting the correct our work.

Have you ever tried to print business cards, T-shirts, pans, or mugs using a logo that you downloaded from the Internet or they you have stored somewhere on your server that is a really old. The problem with the raster images which are JPEG's, Tiffs, PNG, PSD, or any file format that uses pixels to generate an image when viewed from far is that they can not be resized. Images taken from the web are only 72 dots per inch meaning they were only design to be viewable through monitors. If the design or logo is not set up at 300 dpi and it is resized to the actual final print size and it is extremely sharp it will not reproduce correctly. This only applies to logos that are going to be printed in a single color application, for multiple color applications, hi quality 300 dots per inch cannot be used for the simple fact that there is no way to color separate the local when it comes to printing using spot colors. Some printers do have special expenses software that can color separate the art for you but if it's too complex like it real photograph they are not to be able to do it.

In a vector images or vector graphics are considered to be the best choice when it comes to graphic design, logo design or even layout design. Even though some of these can be created using different programs the and result is that they are using a vector-based graphics to move graphics, reshaped graphics and change affects quickly. Another benefit to vector graphics is that they do not require a lot of storage room, so sending vector graphics to your printer can be done through simple e-mails, even free accounts like Yahoo and Google. There are many other benefits to using vector graphics rather than raster images for example you can convert any vector graphic into a raster, into 3-D modeling, 3-D animation, video production, flash, CAD and many other applications. This is why it's very important when using a graphic designer to be sure that your logo are created using a vector-based software such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel.

There are programs out there that can convert your raster images into vector graphics but if your logo is not clean the result will be a jagged converted logo. These programs work great when creating complex vector graphics or simple graphics that are clean and single in color and will print very very small. The best solution to converting your raster images into vector graphics is by using a real human to re-create that can visually adjust and trace your raster image into a perfect vector graphic.
