Academy: The Two Faces of Digital Design

The most critical concept in print design is the difference between Vector vs Raster.

PropertyVector (SVG, PDF)Raster (JPG, PNG)
StructureMathematical formulas (Lines)Pixel grid (Dots)
ScalingInfinitely scalable, no degradationBecomes blocky when enlarged (Pixelates)
PrintSharp edges, crisp textBlurry edges
Use CaseLogo, Text, ShapePhotography

Why Vector for Print?

If you upload your logo as a photo (JPG), the edges will appear jagged in print. If you upload it in SVG format, it will be razor-sharp even at billboard size. That is why NowToPrint Studio always keeps text and shapes in vector form.

The RGB and CMYK Reality

  • RGB (Screen): Works with light. Neon colours (lime green, bright cyan) are possible.
  • CMYK (Print): Works with ink. Bright neon colours on screen will appear more muted/flat on paper. Our studio shows you a "Print Simulation" on screen to prevent disappointment.
