Converting Raster to Vector

With fast-pace of business it's hard and some times annoying to keep tracking of file format when you're trying to finish a project on a strict dead line. The worst thing is hearing that the file format you have submitted does not work and does not meet the printing criteria. What can you do? Well the only thing you can do is get the right format and that means going through many channels and departments of group of designers that have already started working on someone else’s project or can not get you the necessary artwork format until next week. How can you do your job when you have to depend on other? The best thing to do is always have a backup artist that is on-call. Here’s where I come in and actual become part of your team.

When I worked at one of Southern California’s promotional marketing distributor I had to literally work on some other top graphic artist’s artwork from some of the major movie studios in Hollywood and universities. These are multi-million fortune 500 companies that had departments upon departments of designer and marketing agents and could not submit usable artwork for some of the simple list single color printed products. Instead of having the customer go back and talk to their graphic artist which where already working on other projects meant that they had to wait at least a day which was considered a fast turn around. Which meant our production time was crushed down an additional day. When you’re trying to print thousands of products in less than a week including delivery for an event that same weekend, one day made all the difference. Instead we were able to convert the raster images to vector file format that were usable within the hour and getting that artwork approved and at the printers in less than two hours saving us the hassle of possibility of something going wrong in the printing process and wasting valuable production time.

Time is money, projects need to be finished and having an artist that can be convert raster to vector images can be a life saver. Raster to vector service is great for two reasons. One, your printed order can proceed to the next stage of printing and two, you have prevented this mistake to happen again.
