The printer is limited by the size and thickness of the paper it takes. It is also limited by the amount of ink the ink cartridges use. A limitation of a scanner would be the resolution, which will become lower the less you spend on it. Another limitation is the size of the bed, which will then determine how big the item you want to scan will be. Scanners also work very slowly, which will slow down production. Licensing cost lots of money if you put the software on a lot of different computers. Also, the software becomes outdated, so you would need to pay to update it. A limitation for a vinyl cutter is the cutter heads. They are very hard because they are made of diamonds. But after a while they go blunt and will then need replacing. This means that they are very expensive to replace.

Brochure: For a brochure and leaflets, I would use both Bitmap and vectors. I would do this because they usually contain both logos and texts and pictures. Bitmaps are made up of little blocks called pixels, and they have their own colour information. If you enlarge it, they will become blurry. But for the logos on the website, the vectors are made up of shapes. This means there are no pixels to worry about, and you can make them as big and small as you want them to be and they will not become blurry. Vehicle: For the logo on the side of the vehicle, you would need to use vector software. The logo needs to be really big, so you’ll need to be stretched and large. If you try to expand a Bitmap on the side of a van, then the logo will become pixelated and blurry. Website: For the website, you would use a Bitmap. This is because websites are viewed on screens. Screens are made up of pixels, and so are Bitmaps. Also, Bitmap files don’t take up a lot of space, so uploading them, they wouldn’t be big files. PDF: PDF (portable document format) are good because you don't need the original software to open a file. It will open in Adobe Acrobat.

The computer system and file storage For the computer system, buy an iMac 27inch 3.4GHz with a quad-core Intel Core i5 and comes with an 8 GB memory and a 1 terabyte hard drive for free. This costs around £1,800. This is the best kind of Mac as it has a large screen, it has good quality screen. And it is under warranty. For file storage, you should purchase a 2 terabyte external hard drive, as they are high capacity and you can take them wherever your work takes you. This would cost you about £130 to purchase. You will need to print off images that are of a high quality with no pixels, and for this you will need a top end printer To capture the images for the promotional packages for Kingswood, you will need a good camera. Cameras like the Cannon D700 are the best idea as this produces high quality images and good quality videos. Panasonic produce high quality cameras, and can be cheaper than Cannon cameras. You need a high quality scanner, such as the Epson GT-2500N Scanner. This scans up to 27 A4 pages per minute. It is high quality scanning - 1200 dpi / 48-bit for high colour reproduction and sharp details. Take advantage of the Text Enhancement feature - Reduce shadows and backgrounds from imperfect originals. There is no need for maintenance. You can use it to Email, Fax OCR, and Print. With this, this means that you don't need to buy a printer, and there isn't as much need to use Email on the Mac you'd like to purchase alongside this printer.This will cost £725. For picture paper, you would buy Kodak A4 Glossy Photo Paper. This will cost £3.83 per pack of 20 sheets. This is expensive, but is high quality. For the graphics tablet you will need a large screen and a big memory. The Cintiq Companion Hybrid with 32 GB memory storage. You can connect it to your laptop and develop and refine your artwork using traditional creative software such as Adobe Photoshop when you return to your studio. This will cost £1,999. I will need a vinyl cutter to cut out vinyl letters to make stickers for vehicles. We would need this for a company van. For this I would buy a PixMax 38x38cm heat press machine. This is exclusive to the website 'Monster Doodles', and will cost £600. For the vinyl cutter, I will need sheets of paper. For 100 sheets of the vinyl cutter specific paper, I will need to buy it off of the 'Monster Doodles' website again, and this will cost £15. Software: https://cdburnerxp.se/ I will use this software as it can easily burn CDs, DVDs and BlueRay discs. This software is free and is very good quality. Adobe Photoshop: this software is used to edit photos. The features include the ability to crop, change colours and format photos. You can also reshape, change/distort or combine to pictures together. A limitation would be it is quite difficult to use at first. This costs £49.99 a month, which is worth it as you can edit pictures and make all flaws disappear. Vector software: this lets you create vector. A vector is an image that is made up of points, lines and curves, and can be enlarged to any size, and no matter how much you enlarge them they still keep their high quality and do not show pixels. For this, you would need to buy Adobe Illustrator CS6 Mac Full Edition - Retail Box. This would cost around £420, but this is worth it as it is a one time. This will cost around £3,100.
