Hello:

Can someone please help me reduce the computer-generated appearance of my stencils?  I created the stencils using vectorized images and the lines were fine and even before stencilization, so I don't understand why I am getting the results that I am.

Thanks,

Jennifer

When working with vector graphics that need to be converted to raster you have to pay extra attention to two things: resolution of the rasterization and anti-aliasing.

In this example it seems your rasterization resolution is both too low and you do not have anti-aliasing enabled. If the software you are using does not offer anti-aliasing then the thing to do is to rasterize it at twice the needed ppi/dpi and then downsample it in a raster package (using a color format of RGB -- if you resize in B&W/Bitmap color mode then there will be no anti-aliasing created).
