Bitmap images are made up of pixels and are resolution-dependent, which means they lose clarity when resized. Vector graphics are made up of mathematical lines and curves, and they are resolution-independent, meaning they can be resized without losing quality.

Vector graphics are ideal for logos, text, or images that need to retain sharpness and clarity when resized. They’re the best choice for items like branding materials because they can be scaled to any size without losing detail or quality.

Bitmap images can be used for printing, but only if the resolution is 600dpi or higher and the image is the actual size it will be printed. However, text in bitmap images often prints blurry or unclear, even at high resolution.

Text in bitmap images tends to be blurry because it is made up of fixed pixels that lose sharpness when scaled or printed, especially at lower resolutions or small sizes.

Bitmaps can be used for production, but they must meet specific requirements: they should be at least 600dpi in resolution, in black, and at the actual size for the item. However, bitmap images may still have clarity issues, and they should be discussed and approved before production.
