What is Vector Art and Raster Art?
Raster, Bitmap, Non-Vector
With non-vectored artwork, we need to recreate the art to have clean crisp lines for screen printing.
With the raster artwork, we are not able to screen print this design. We would however be able to print this raster design with a custom heat transfer or our uv printer, but keep in mind the print will only be as good as the quality of the image or design.

Vector Art
Vectored art is the best! With vectored art, we are able to screen print, uv print, and make a custom heat transfer with ease. Vectored artwork gives us the best quality art for any method of printing.

Art Files
EPS is what we prefer but still contain blurry lines or images.
PDF can be just as good but can be blurry as well.
JPEG and PNG will need to be recreated because they will contain blurry artwork.
Artwork Recration Charge
For us to give our customers the best quality print, we will need to recreate artwork when needed. We always want to give our customers the best we can and will stay in communication the whole way.
Our art charge is $45 per hour when designing or recreating artwork.
