At A.R.K. Ramos, one of the things that can help streamline our design process is when clients are able to send Vector images. 

A vector graphic is necessary for signs with dimensions. The design in a vector file is composed of mathematically mapped lines and points our machines follow when cutting the artwork.

The most common vector file types are .eps, .ai, and .pdf. This is normally something that people don’t have on their computers so reach out to your graphic designer!
