What Is Print Ready Artwork?
Print ready artwork is a file a print shop can use without fixing it first. That means vector format (SVG, EPS, AI, or PDF), correct colors, clean edges, and no background — or for embroidery, a digitized stitch file (.DST/.PES). Screenshots, web logos, and low-resolution JPGs are not print ready, which is why most shops reject them or charge art fees.
Since 1987, SL Diversified Printing has prepared artwork for screen printing, DTG, embroidery, banners, and trade show graphics nationwide. This tool puts our prepress process online so you can fix your file in minutes instead of waiting days.

How Much Does It Cost to Vectorize a Logo?
Professional logo vectorization costs $29–$89 depending on complexity, and embroidery digitizing costs $74. Simple 1–2 color logos qualify for instant vector conversion at $29. Complex, gradient-heavy, or very low-resolution logos need manual cleanup in Adobe Illustrator at $89. All prices include commercial-use files.
| Service | Best For | You Receive | Turnaround | Price |

Our guarantee: If your file isn’t accepted by your printer, we fix it free — or refund you.
Why Do Print Shops Reject Logo Files?
Print shops reject artwork for five common reasons: the file is a low-resolution JPG or PNG (under 300 DPI), it’s a screenshot pulled from a website, it has a white box background, colors aren’t defined for printing, or the design has too much fine detail to stitch or screen. Every one of these is fixable — usually in a single day.
If you’ve ever been told “we can’t use this file,” “your logo is too blurry,” or “we need vector art,” this tool was built for you.
What’s the Difference Between Vector Conversion and Embroidery Digitizing?
Vector conversion turns a pixel image into a scalable line-art file for screen printing, DTG, vinyl, and signage. Embroidery digitizing converts your logo into a stitch file that tells an embroidery machine exactly where every thread goes. They are different processes with different files — embroidery machines cannot read vector files. You can learn more about the difference between vector and raster graphics on Wikipedia.
Every embroidery order includes a stitch simulation proof so you see exactly how your logo sews out before production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
How fast will I receive my files?
Instant Vector files are emailed within minutes of payment. Pro cleanup orders are delivered the same day or within 24 hours. Embroidery digitizing takes 24–48 hours because every stitch file is built and reviewed by a human digitizer.
Can you fix a blurry or low-resolution logo?
Yes. Low-resolution logos are our most common job. Upload your file to see its Print Ready Score — if it scores FAIR or NEEDS WORK, choose the Pro tier and our team will manually rebuild it in Adobe Illustrator so it prints clean at any size.
What file formats will I receive?
The Instant tier includes a clean SVG and a high-resolution PNG with transparent background. Pro orders include SVG, PNG, EPS, PDF, and AI files. Embroidery orders include .DST and .PES stitch files plus a stitch simulation proof. Need another format? Just ask in the order notes — it’s included.
Is the Print Ready Score really free?
Yes. Upload your file and you’ll see your score instantly with no payment and no account. You only pay if you decide to order finished files.
Do you offer rush artwork conversion?
Yes. Mention your deadline in the order notes and we’ll prioritize your file. We’ve been the rush printing partner for businesses nationwide since 1987 — tight deadlines are our specialty.
Can I use the $29 Instant tier for a complex logo?
We recommend it only for simple, 1–2 color designs. For gradients, photographs, fine detail, or very low-resolution files, the Pro tier produces dramatically better results — and if the Instant output isn’t usable, we’ll credit your $29 toward a Pro order.
Will these files work for screen printing, DTG, and embroidery?
Yes. Vector files (Instant and Pro tiers) are accepted by every screen printing, DTG, vinyl, and large-format shop in the country. For embroidery, you need the digitized stitch files from our Embroidery tier — vector files alone cannot be embroidered.
