Knowing the difference between a raster and vector image is the key to beginning your sign or decal making process. Having your logo in a vector format is essential. Raster images are composed of pixels and when enlarged to meet your size requirements during printing will cause your image to become blurry and pixelated. Vector images are mathematically created so the image retains it's sharp composure when enlarging even up to sizes as large as vehicles or buildings. If your logo or image is not in a vector, MidSouth Vinyl can create it for you.
All of our solid color decals are created using vector images, which means files that have extensions such as .ai, .pdf, and .eps are most likely to work with our process without requiring us to redraw or recreate it. Raster images will work when you are requesting a printed product as long as the image has a high enough resolution.
It is recommended that you send us a vector image whenever submitting a logo for either process. This will ensure that it is as sharp and clean looking as possible. If you have any questions about filetypes and submission requirements, please feel free to call our office at 270-761-5237 or email us here.
