There are so many file formats used to capture images. Examples include JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG and GIFF. Used in digital cameras, scanners and computers, these file formats represent raster files or bitmaps used to create or reproduce photographic images. Since the files are made up of a series of dots, problems result if the image is being blown up and printed on a wide format printer. The images look just fine on a computer screen but do not necessarily look good at very high resolutions. Often the larger images show evidence of pixel distortion.
Vector files on the other hand are composed of outlines, curves and lines so they are more scalable, without image quality loss. When you are creating vehicle graphics, wall murals, tradeshow displays or large banners, it is better to use vector files such as EPS, AI or PDF. Donât be fooled into saving a JPG in PDF format and expecting the underling JPG file to behavior differently. A JPG saved as a PDF file is still a raster based file. We can work with you to convert raster images to vector ones if a vector file is not available. Depending on the resolution this can take some time.
