Better quality source for art than arcadeartlibrary.com?
« on: April 24, 2013, 11:56:14 am »
I'm having a friend who works at a print shop print a bunch of mame and regular marquee art I got from http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/categories.php?cat_id=4&sessionid=d42670d4ae768261b4613dd4f2e92e80. Are there any better source files? Why are they uploaded in such low quality?

Use the vector (ai) ones.  The whole point to vector is that they scale to any size without a loss in quality.
Your friend should know how to work with them.

idsane a lot of the stuff on arcadelibrary is vector. (vector can be rescaled) you is that doesn't suit you search around a bit, and a last resort is do it yourself or hire a freelancer.
