- Description
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
- An SK1 vector graphic file is a file format primarily used by the sK1 illustration program, which focuses on providing professional-quality design features for prepress processing. Unlike other vector formats, the SK1 file format is unique for its support of CMYK color, which is crucial for color accuracy in printing. It also includes advanced features such as color profiles and spot colors, making it particularly suitable for tasks that require precise color matching and high-quality print outputs.
