.: Vectoring :.

Vectoring is the computer process needed to transfer a graphic design into a screen-printing or decal cutting format. This process ultimately determines the quality of your finished product.

At Excalibur Creations & Recognition, I use the latest technology to achieve somes of the best vectors. The upfront investment on quality vectoring will be well worth it in the long term.

.: RASTER TO VECTOR CONVERSIONS :.

Vector Charges: $12.00 & up. (Charges will be confirmed after I receive the artwork)

Time Lead: 48-72 Hour Service is standard

Color Separations: Free(Spot Colors only - PMS Colors factory quote required)

Consistent Excellent Quality

 These images are created using Corel Draw. The raster image is manually traced, to produce artwork of the highest quality.

 In order to convert your logo to all the correct formats, our designers first have to convert your logo into a VECTOR based format. This is done by literally tracing the outlines of each shape using a professional VECTOR based drawing program (Corel Draw, Illustrator).

This is a fairly time consuming process and requires a highly skilled designer.

 Hopefully, I will have the correct font that it used in your logo and can simply replace the PIXEL based version. If not, I'll have to trace the font by hand and that will increase production time significantly.

The best choice for logos and other line art is an EPS file (Encapsulated Post Script).

EPS: A high resolution image stored in the Postscript page description language. The EPS standard enables users to transfer high-resolution graphics images between applications.

 You can size EPS images without sacrificing image quality. EPS files are typically generated from vector based programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, or CorelDraw. EPS files are fully scalable and are not susceptible to distortion.

 Also, spot colors are easily specified in vector programs, which comes in handy if your project is not going to be produced in 4-color process.

I can output to the following file types :

  • CDR- Coreldraw
  • WMF- Windows metafile
  • EMF- Enhanced windows metafile
  • AI- Abobe illustrator
  • DXF- Autocad
  • DWG- Autocad
  • PLT-HPGL plotter file
