At Chinook-Grafolies, we offer a vector graphic service to fit all your graphical needs.
Vector
Graphics
Vectors are a way of defining images on a computer and is defined by points
and curves rather than by pixels. They are scalable and therefore are not
resolution dependent. Vector graphics are made up of independent objects,
each of which can be individually selected, sized, moved and manipulated,
which gives the Graphic Arts and Promotional Products industry outstanding
advantages for image manipulation. The vector image is created through a
sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes
in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. Vector elements are graphical
objects that have a precise direction, length, and shape and can be points,
lines, polygons, arcs, rectangles, circles, text, ellipses, elliptical arcs,
arc wedges, elliptical arc wedges, and symbols.
Use
of Vector Graphics in the Graphic Arts and Promotional Products Industry.
Vector graphics is the format for logos and other computer graphics except
photographs. Because it's scaleable capability, vector graphics are the
best option to create logos and graphics and use it to print promotional
products. By creating initially your corporate logo in a vector software
program, it can be used for all purposes in the future. The vector file
could be used by printers and promotional products companies to achieve
a high quality printing. Once you have created your vector logo, it can
be easily converted to a bitmap format for web presentations, CD catalogs,
and other low resolution requirements. It's important to understand the
conversion process is irreversible, so always keep a original copy of the
vector file.
New graphic technology allows more full process color material than before.
Some companies are taking advantage of this technology and are using more
and more printing products in full color. For such cases, your graphic designer
could make a full color version of your logo. This high resolution bitmap
version can be close to the vector counterpart, and provides extra benefits
by using a high quality logo for these materials.
We often vectorize images for our customers. It can be a vey long and painstaking process. We ask to send us your designs to be vectorized in the highest resolution possible. If you are not into computers and don't have a clue what resolution actually is, we understand, just send us the best image you can on paper with all the necessary details such as specific color codes, dimensions, etc.
