Print vector data
If an image includes vector graphics, such as shapes and type, Photoshop can send the vector data to a PostScript
printer. When you choose to include vector data, Photoshop sends the printer a separate image for each type layer and
each vector shape layer. These additional images are printed on top of the base image, and clipped using their vector
outline. Consequently, the edges of vector graphics print at the printer’s full resolution, even
though the content of
each layer is limited to the resolution of your image file.
