drawing applications, such as Illustrator and CorelDRAW. Page layout applications,
such as QuarkXPress, also allow you to create simple vector artwork with their drawing
tools. PostScript fonts are vector-based, as well.
Vector artwork is resolution-independent; it can be scaled to any size and resolution
without danger of pixels becoming visible in printed output.
Optimizing files for processing and printing
The following sections provide tips on how to create image files that produce the highest
possible print quality while minimizing the processing time and disk space they require.
Resolution of raster images
While a 72-ppi raster image appears sharp on a monitor, the same image would likely
appear pixelated when printed to the Fiery. Color printers are capable of much greater
detail than computer monitors, and require correspondingly higher resolution image
files. However, high-resolution files can be large and, therefore, cumbersome to
transmit over a network, process for printing, store on disk, and edit.
