Vector
drawings are created with mathematical formulas and hence
can be enlarged or reduced in size without any loss of quality and
definition. Vector art normally is also smaller in size as it's not
resolution dependent. |
Raster
or Bitmap art is composed of individual pixels similar to a
real photo. It can be generated by an artist with a paint program or
scanned-in from a printed original. Raster art is resolution
dependent. The resolution of the art determines the size of the file
and the "sharpness" of the reproduction. This type of
digital art cannot be enlarged or reduced at will without some
deterioration of its quality. We recommend a resolution of 300 PPI for
mug decorations. Raster/bitmap art should always be send to us in its
final physical size. |
