Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of digital files do I receive when purchasing the art?
All Paramentics artwork is sold as a digital download. The artwork is delivered in ZIP files that contain JPGs, PNGs, and TIFFs. If you don’t know which format to pick, the following paragraphs will help you choose.
JPG and PNG: Both of these filetypes are suitable for smaller digital applications. They may also be used for printed materials. The PNGs are a lossless format, which means they may be edited and resized without losing their original quality. They also have a transparent background, while the JPGs retain their white background.
TIFF: This file type is ideal when printing worship folders, handouts, flyers, brochures, and postcards.
EPS: This is essentially the raw vector file of the artwork that was created in Adobe Illustrator. It is perfect for larger print materials like posters and banners, although you may certainly use it for smaller materials. Many printing companies use this file, as it produces perfectly clean lines and can be resized to any dimension.

What if I purchase the art or templates and the church or school reimburses me?
