To meet allbranded's quality standards, only high-resolution vector graphics are used in our printing processes. A vector graphic is made up of lines, curves and surfaces, which are described mathematically precisely with so-called vectors. The opposite of vector graphics is raster graphics. Vector graphics have the following advantages over raster graphics:

• They can be continuously enlarged, reduced, compressed and distorted without loss of quality.
• The file size is smaller.
• The properties of individual lines, curves or areas are preserved and can be changed later.

Examples of vector graphic formats: Encapsulated Postscript (EPS), Portable Document Format (PDF), Adobe Illustrator (AI)
Non-vectorized files are e.g. jpg, png, tiff, gif

In order to get the best print result, you have to adhere to a few specifications when creating your print file or artwork print. The specifications that apply to your print file depend on the promotional item you have selected. In many cases we only need your logo. For product-specific information, please contact our customer service. Find out now what you need to know to create a print file.

Embedding the fonts used is extremely important for printing data that is true to the original. Embedding means that all information about the font is included in the file. This is necessary in order to reproduce the font on another output device on which the font may not be installed and visualize and create it correctly in the final print. Read all about embedding fonts here.

If you encounter problems when embedding the fonts, you should convert the fonts to paths, as this can lead to errors when saving and displaying them.

The print quality of a poster, photo or other print product depends largely on the resolution of the print data. The print resolution is specified in the unit of measurement dpi (dots per inch).

In the final creation of print data, the choice of the right colors is particularly important. In image processing, a distinction is made between two color spaces: CMYK and RGB.
