Black and white vectorizer
Some jobs only allow one colour: stencils, vinyl decals, single-colour screen prints and engraving. This preset thresholds the image into black and white before tracing, giving bold, simple paths.
Preset: medium detail.

Tips for better results

One-colour jobs

- Vinyl decals: a single colour is the cheapest and most durable.
- Rubber stamps and engraving: one-colour artwork is exactly what the machines expect.
