A lot of people still do not know the right process when forwarding
custom flags for printing. Many do not realize that the type of image and program they use will cause changes to the final printed design. There are a few guidelines to follow to guarantee that the end result will be of good quality and the design stays accurate and sharp.
Tips When Sending Bitmap Images
Bitmap images or raster images are comprised of pixels in a grid. The pixels are the small dots that have individual colors. The images are dependent on the resolution so the number of pixels will result to the design and variety of colors. These are also called dots per inch or DPI.
Bitmap images that are to scale and with a dpi of 300+ can be printed. The resolution should be kept high to preserve the quality and sharpness of the design. Otherwise, adjusting or re-sizing the image will only lead to blots and blurs. These can be seen on the
custom flag.
Regular bitmap formats
JPEG, BMP, JPG, PSD (Adobe Photoshop), PNG, GIF and TIFF
Regular bitmap programs
Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint, Microsoft Paint, U lead Photo Impact and Jasc Paint Shop Pro
Quick tips:
Always keep the image in 300+ dpi and to scale to maintain the good quality. Vector images are recommended for printing and these are generally made using a screen printer. The vector-based pictures do not rely on resolution so re-sizing can be done without changing the appearance and quality of the final printed image.
