<div class='uawarticle'>When you've finished creating your design, you'll need to do a few things with your fonts to be able to send them to your printer correctly.<br />
<br />
Typically, printers ask that you simply package a replica from all of the original font files in the documents you're printing together with all of your other files, in case something goes wrong with a number of the fonts. Using this method, when they open your documents, they're capable of installing the fonts by themselves on their system rather than keeping in contact and asking you about the fonts.<br />
<br />
In addition, they'll ask that you do what's known as "outlining" your fonts. In essence, this turns the characters of each and every font into paths in lieu of actual type, similar to a drawn shape in Illustrator. By doing this, every time a file is opened, the program program isn't looking to call up a font, because it's only recognizing a shape, as well as the issue of missing fonts be side stepped. <br />
<br />
There are other detailed main reasons why (mostly to do with the real difference between rasters and vectors), you should flatten Photoshop files so that your printers are able to see exactly what the final image should look like, so send over a layered file along with any fonts you employed in creating it.<br />
<br />
However, our recommendation is that, even when you're laying text into a Photoshop register for printing, that you simply create it in Illustrator after which you drop it into Photoshop. It may take much longer and be a bit of a pain but the quality you get on the finish will be much, much better.<br />
<br />
Although these may be the basics, they're also the conditions that prepress operators generally face while preparing files for large printing of shop signs or banners. The best way to avoid running into any issues with your printer is usually to always ask your vendor details upfront. Each vendor may have their very own set of preferences in relation to preparing your files and it's better to ask even before you create your documents, if possible. It is important that you ask and know that asking will make your life much easier when getting shop signs or banners printed. If in doubt, ask!<br />
