MITS Graphic Design – Image Tracing

Mighty Inks – Vector/Image Tracing Service

Do you have a design or logo that’s too blurry when you enlarge it? Or maybe it’s stuck on a white background you don’t want? Our Vector/Image Tracing Service is here to fix all that—providing you with crisp, clean, and professional-grade artwork ready for printing on DTF (Direct-to-Film) or any other high-quality print medium.

Why Raster Images Fall Short

Most everyday images you see online (like JPGs and PNGs) are raster images. These files are made up of tiny squares (pixels). When you zoom in or try to enlarge them for printing, you’ll notice:

1. Pixelation and Blurriness: The more you enlarge a raster image, the more visible its pixels become. This results in a fuzzy or low-quality print.
2. No Scalability: A design that looks fine on your phone’s screen may not look as good when it’s enlarged for a t-shirt or banner.

The Power of Vectors

Our tracing service converts your raster image into a vector format (like AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF). This means:

1. Infinite Scalability: No matter how large or small you need your design, vector graphics remain sharp and precise.
2. Cleaner Lines and Details: By creating mathematical paths rather than relying on pixels, vector artwork maintains crisp edges and accurate colors.
3. Professional Print Quality: A vector file is the industry standard for high-end printing, making it perfect for DTF, screen printing, vinyl cutting, and more.

Transparent Background = Seamless Printing

One common issue with images people provide is the unwanted background—often white or colored—behind the main design. If that background isn’t removed:

1. It Prints Like Paper: Imagine placing that image on a shirt—the background color will show up as a solid block, even if you wanted a clean outline around the design.
2. Extra Material and Cost: When you print or cut that design, you end up using more film or ink than necessary.

With our service, we ensure your final file has a transparent background so it can be placed on any color or surface without any awkward borders or blocks.
