Vector files are the best choice for tshirt printing in Vancouver when the design is a logo, simple shapes, or solid color artwork. PNG files are ideal for full color images, gradients, and photo level designs. For full printing guidelines, visit the main Tshirt Printing Vancouver page.
Vector formats such as SVG, AI, and PDF allow unlimited scaling without losing quality. They are perfect for screen printing and vinyl because they keep edges sharp and colors clean. PNG files, saved at 300 DPI, preserve transparency and full color detail, making them ideal for DTF and DTG prints.
Here are the main differences between vector and PNG for tshirt printing Vancouver:
- Vector files scale without losing quality, ideal for logos
- PNG supports full color, gradients, and transparency
- Vector edges stay sharp on any print size
- PNG is required for photo realistic or highly detailed prints

Vectors work best for simple artwork because printers can separate and define colors precisely. PNG files excel in artwork with shadows, blending, or detailed color transitions. JPEG files are not ideal because they compress the image and reduce clarity.
