| Q |
Could I order just 1 board as a sample before ordering a pack of 25, so I can see what it would look like ? |
| A |
Yes, this will be made using our corex boards but with digital printed applied vinyl (cost £39-00 +p&p).The sample board will not be screen printed as it is time consuming and costly process to get ready to run a quantity of boards, it is almost as expensive to run 1 as it is 10, for this reason the minimum quantity is 25 with no setup charge. |

| Q |
What is Vectorizing? |
| A |
It is the art of converting raster images to line art images format. Line art images are size independent. That means it can be scaled up and down without losing any quality.
The image will be of same quality no matter what size it is being scaled. To explain it better is to differentiate it to the raster image (bitmap image). Bitmap artwork is comprised of dots (pixels) that represent a graphic image, with each bit or group of bits corresponding to a pixel in the image. When Bitmap image is enlarged, it produces jagged edge and graininess, which is not print friendly. The bitmap file is comprised of a series of dots per inch (dpi) and when you enlarge a bitmap, rather than more dots being added, the existing dots are simply enlarged. The larger the dots get, the blurrier the image will be. Examples of Bitmap images are JPG, TIF, BMP and GIF.
While Vector artwork is simply comprised of lines (wireframe) that represent the objects. Vector images are usually created with the drawing program such as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator or Freehand. Increase or reduction in size will produce no pixelization . |
