T-Shirt Forums - View Single Post - Can I just save as Vector for screenprinting

first of all, there are NO STUPID QUESTIONS!

that said, if you import a raster image (from photoshop) into a vector file (like freehand) and then save it, it does not automatically convert the raster to vector. you can only create vector files from a vector program.

after looking at the image you linked to, i'm not sure how you would create that effect with vectors. if that is the effect you want to achieve, you should really leave it up to your screenprinter to do the separations. show them the image and discuss the best format to use.
