VECTOR vs. BITMAP

Vector based artwork is resolution independent and can be scaled to any size without loss of detail. Bitmaps are comprised of pixels that enlarge when the image is enlarged. The larger a bitmap gets, the more the pixels will be visible (appears as blurry, jagged edges or pixelated).

Vector art generally lasers better, but bitmaps can often be converted to vector by our art team, as long as they are high enough quality to begin with.

Vector vs Bitmap

WILL MY ART WORK?

Most of the time, our skilled art team can make any logo work, so just sending your art in reply to order confirmation is the quickest way to get your order in. If we have questions or issues, we'll email you after you place your order.

If you want to see a mockup of how your engraving will look, just put "REQUEST MOCKUP" in the special instructions box when ordering.

If you are not sure if your art will work, you can email us for a recommendation.

Just email info@theshopwithnoname.com and include:

  • The largest size, highest quality, cleanest looking logo files you have (include a few if not sure)
  • What item or material you want it engraved on

Remember: The better the input artwork, the better the output engraving!

Please remember to include your Order Number with all correspondence.

RESOLUTION

Resolution refers to the amount of pixels in a particular image and is generally measured in dots per inch (dpi). High resolution files generally result in a higher resolution engraving.

A 300dpi/ppi or better is preferred for bitmap files.

BLACK/WHITE vs. COLOR

Black and white artwork is preferred. If you send a color image, we may be able to convert it to grayscale or black and white. 

GRADIENTS

Gradients (shades of gray or shading) can be reproduced well on our laser machines, however results vary based on art file and material being engraved or etched. For best results, avoid gradients, however if necessary we can laser them, sometimes an extra part is needed for testing or an extra day for proofing.

FONTS

We offer font selections on most item descriptions. Can't find a font you like, head to Dafont.com. They offer a wide selection of font choices. Find one you like and email us.

PHOTOGRAPHS

 

Currently at this time we do not offer engraving items using photographs. We are still in our testing phase with that process. If you would like us to try some samples, feel free to email us at info@theshopwithnoname.com
