[Vector artwork](https://www.adobe.com/ca/creativecloud/illustration/discover/vector-art.html) is a term that describes any art made with vector illustration software like Adobe Illustrator. Vector artwork is built from vector graphics, which are images created with mathematical formulas. In comparison, raster art (also referred to as bitmaps or raster images) is created with colorized pixels. Enlarge pixel-based art in a raster file too much and it looks jaggy, whereas you can enlarge vector art to any size without negatively affecting its appearance. This resolution independence allows vector art to be used in a variety of forms, with sublimation printing being one of those! **Using vector artwork allows us to scale your designs up to fit any size garment without loss of quality. It also allows us to easily edit the colors, transform the design around our templates to ensure best fit, and add, remove, or edit, individual elements easily.** Although we technically can print using raster art (photos, images, etc) the end result will never be as good as vector artwork, and we're far more limited at what we're able to do to ensure designs print perfectly.    - [Team Orders - Captains](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Product Information](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#product-information) - [Timeline and Turnaround](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#timeline-and-turnaround) - [Pricing and Payment](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#pricing-and-payment) - [Designs](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#designs) - [Ordering Methods](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#ordering-methods) - [Shipping and Delivery](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#shipping-and-delivery) - [Uniform Guidelines and Approved Vendor status](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#uniform-guidelines-and-approved-vendor-status) - [Printed Panels](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-captains?hsLang=en#printed-panels) - [Team Orders - Players](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-players?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Ordering](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-players?hsLang=en#ordering) - [Reception](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/team-orders-players?hsLang=en#reception) - [Sizing](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/sizing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sizing/Fit Updates](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/sizing?hsLang=en#sizing-fit-updates) - [About the Company](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/about-the-company?hsLang=en) - [Errors, Returns, and Care Instructions](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/errors-returns-and-care-instructions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Washing and product care](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/errors-returns-and-care-instructions?hsLang=en#washing-and-product-care) - [Tickets or Issues](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/errors-returns-and-care-instructions?hsLang=en#tickets-or-issues) - [Policies](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/errors-returns-and-care-instructions?hsLang=en#policies) - [Tournaments, Fundraising, and Fan Store](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/tournaments-fundraising-and-fan-store?hsLang=en) - [Sponsorships, Coupons, Gift Cards, and Promotions](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/sponsorships-coupons-gift-cards-and-promotions?hsLang=en) - [Shipping, Duties, and Taxes](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/shipping-duties-and-taxes?hsLang=en) - [Retail Purchases](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/knowledge/retail-purchases?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledge.beultimate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BE%20Ultimate%20One%20Color%20Lateral-2.png?width=118&height=24&name=BE%20Ultimate%20One%20Color%20Lateral-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://beultimate.com) Help Center - Our mission is to enable and inspire athletes, trainers, coaches, and teams to be Better than Ever.
