![]() ![]() The term resolution really only pertains to bit maps so. This is where resolution and file type come in. That way they can be clearly divided into screen separations or embroidery sewing fields. Because you can only embroider or screen-print 100% of a color all the boundaries of the objects in an image need to be well defined. That’s why when you think of resolution or file quality for embroidery and screen-printing it helps to think of it in terms of a path. Basically low resolution files create low resolution digital prints but it still works where as with screen-printing and embroidery files that are low resolution may not even be compatible with print separation and embroidery digitizing. Digital printing is capable of recreating the art as it is, there are no color count limitations and digital has a far higher dot per inch resolution or DPI as is commonly know. Now we have several forms of digital printing and I want to mention that file quality is important there also, however it’s a little different. The embroidery machine then uses this information to execute the sew-out. We use digitizing software to separate the art into stitch paths by color and stitch type. Think of it like an X Y grid of connect the dots. It may be the most tried and true form of printing and has been practiced for some 2,000 years.Įmbroidery or more specifically machine embroidery is done by sewing out stitches in a specific order and color to recreate an image. A squeegee then pushes ink through the stencil onto the garment to recreate the image. Screen-Printing is done by dividing the art up by color, creating stencils that represent the positives of that information then registering it back together on a press. 90% of the time the origin files are created at high resolution and the low-resolution versions are just saved as alternatives for use on websites and other digital media. We don’t expect our customers to always have ideal file types but it can save you some money to take the time to dig up the high-resolution files if they exist. It’s ok if that term doesn’t mean anything just yet but hopefully it will by the time you get through this page. I’m also going to say that screen-printing and embroidery are spot color systems. There is tons of information online and throughout our site if you want to dig deeper into the processes but we’ll cover them briefly here. ![]() ![]() For this post to truly make sense you need a basic understanding of how the set-up and production processes works for both screen-printing and embroidery. Quality and correct art file types are essential to garment decoration and I wanted to take a second to elaborate on why that is. File Resolution for Screen-Printing and Embroidery ![]()
