Convert Fonts to Vector Objects

TecK Support — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 21:21:25 +0000

Most Software Applications provide an option to convert the fonts in your document to objects which no longer require the font file in order to display correctly. On a copy of your document, depending on the terminology of your Software Application, convert the Fonts to Paths, Curves or Outlines. Once converted the text will no longer be editable as text. When your document is printed from anywhere other than your computer, the offsite computer needs the same exact font files to print your document. Without the exact same font file, font substitutions occur with a completely different font or with a slightly different version. Either option can cause the text to reflow differently than you original document. To avoid potential Font issues, the solution is to convert the font-drawn characters into objects that no longer need the font file. The Adobe created File Format encodes the font into the PDF allowing offsite computers to display and print your document as it was intended to appear. However, if a document needs to be edited, the font file may be required due to Font Licensing agreements or the failure of the font to embed. A PDF is the preferred File FOrmat but it is still the best practice to convert your fonts to avoid any delays in the production of your Rub On Transfer order.

Appearance of Graphics

Once your graphics are applied they will appear the same and at the same size as they are in your document except for the color. The color of your transfers will be that of the Transfer Product color you ordered. For White transfers, do not make white graphics on a black background. Do not mirror or reflect your graphics if this is not how you what them to appear once transferred. With the exception of color, it can be said that, once your transfer graphics are applied, what you see in your document is What You See Is What You Get known by the acronym WYSIWIG. If you want your graphic and text to appear mirrored or reflected when applied and viewed from the application surface because your intent is to read the text correctly from the opposite side of a transparent surface, then supply your text mirrored or reflected.

Color All Graphics Black

All Graphics, Text, & Icons must be created in Black, including White, Stock Colors, Custom Match, Foil, and Metallics. Use the Black Swatch color in our Rub On Transfer Templates. The formula for the black must be only 100% K. No Cyan Magenta or Yellow in the mix. Your final Rub On Transfer Color is determined by which Transfer Color Product you choose from the Shop. Do not put white graphics on a black or other color background.
