Please weigh in above, and/or reply to this thread. Thanks in advance!
Jay,

If they're vector based, then resolution only comes into play at print time. If you're drawing using lines and curves ala Illustrator or some other vector drawing tool, things will always appear smooth - with no jaggies - no matter how tightly you zoom. It's only when you print that resolution becomes a factor, or when you export to a bitmap such as bmp, png or jpg.

I'd say 300 dpi should be more than adequate for decals.

Doug
