Re: Help with a printable image

I'm having some shirts printed with the first image you'll see here -
http://www.stlblues.net/tshirt.htm It's original is saved in a PNG file
format, 350dpi. The problem is the edges are pixelating out, and my silk
screen
printer guy says they're unusable without clean edges. He told me 'they
need to
be vector images, so I can rasterize them for 3 color printing'. I thought
being a PNG file meant it was already a vector based image, however when I
zoom
in, the edges of theses PNG files have 'jaggies' on the edges, which won't
work. What do I do to achieve clean edges? I've tried a tiff export. etc.

Vector means vector. A PNG is raster. You CAN draw vector shapes in
Fireworks, however, if you want to save them as vectors, you'll need to
export them to a vector-based illustration program like freehand.

Also, view screen printers will color seperate into CMYK, so you need an
image that can be separated into spot colors. Fireworks has no concept of
spot colors (it's a program for on-screen graphics...not printed graphics)
so, again, you'll need to use a program like Freehand or Illustrator.
