How to improve print quality with vector designs
Ever wonder why some screen-printed apparel looks crisp and professional, while other prints fall flat with blurry edges or dull colors? One of the most common culprits is the quality of the artwork itself, and that’s where vectorizing comes into play. Learn how to improve print quality with vector designs.
The Difference Between “Good Enough” and Exceptional Screen Printing
Many business owners don’t realize that the type of artwork they provide can make or break the final product. Raster images (like JPEGs and PNGs) are made of pixels, which means that when they’re enlarged for printing, they can become blurry or pixelated. On the other hand, vector artwork is built from mathematical paths, allowing it to be scaled infinitely without losing any sharpness or detail.
Simply put: vector artwork = exceptional print quality. Without it, you risk putting out apparel that doesn’t reflect the quality of your brand.
What Does Vectorizing Mean?
Vectorizing is the process of converting your artwork from a pixel-based format into a clean, scalable version. This ensures that your design looks just as sharp on a billboard as it does on a business card—or, in this case, a t-shirt or hoodie. It also means that colors are more accurate and your brand’s visual identity remains consistent.
