Once you have finished your design there are a few things you should consider to help you get the best possible print from your printers.
Typically, printers ask that you just package a duplicate out of all the original font files contained in the documents with all of the other files that you are likely to be printing, to ensure that in case something goes completely wrong with one or more of your respective fonts they are backed up. By doing this, when they open your documents, they are able to remake the documents and files from scratch if there is a problem.
Furthermore, they’ll ask you to “outlining” your fonts are turned into paths rather than actual characters rather than typed text. Using this method, when a file is opened, the software program program isn’t wanting to call up a font, because it’s only recognizing a shape, as well, the issue of missing fonts or replacing is avoided.
Understand that you should always flatten Photoshop files which means that your printers are able to see what the final images should view like, also send over a layered file along with any fonts you utilized in creating it. This means that the printer can install the fonts for your design should they need to.
However, our recommendation is that, even though you’re laying text in a Photoshop register for printing, that you first create it in Illustrator then drop it into Photoshop after doing this. It might take added time and will certainly be a bit cumbersome going back and forth between programs, but the quality of the type will likely be phenomenally much better than typing any text in Photoshop.
Although we have covered the basics first it is best practice to find and speak with a printer before you start work. This is because each printer will have their own way of doing things and this will effect your overall outcome. It also helps decide what package to design in!
