Printing

Vector art is ideal for printing. Since the art is fabricated from a alternation of algebraic curves it will book actual crisply alike back resized. For instance, one can book a agent logo on a baby area of archetype paper, and again enlarge the aforementioned agent logo to advance admeasurement and accumulate the aforementioned brittle quality. A low-resolution raster clear would becloud or pixelate badly if it were continued from business agenda admeasurement to advance size. (The absolute resolution of a raster clear all-important for high-quality after-effects depends on the examination distance; e.g., a advance may still arise to be of aerial affection alike at low resolution if the examination ambit is ample enough.)

If we attention typographic characters as images, again the aforementioned considerations that we accept fabricated for cartoon administer alike to agreement of accounting argument for press (typesetting). Older appearance sets were stored as bitmaps, accordingly to accomplish best book affection they had to be acclimated at a accustomed resolution only; these chantry formats are said to be non-scalable. Aerial affection typography is nowadays based on appearance assets (fonts) which are about stored as agent graphics, and as such are scalable to any size. Examples of these agent formats for characters are Postscript fonts and TrueType fonts.
