Converting a graphic for use on a Plotter/Cutter requires knowledge of vector graphics. Vector graphic are scalable to any size. Vector graphics are not based on image resolution, as bitmaps are. Vector graphics depend on mathematical formulas creating lines and curves that a Plotter/Cutter can read. Consisting of a grid of square dots, bitmaps are created in a photo editing program, are unreadable to a Plotter/Cutter and must be converted to a vector format using illustration design software.
