What the Professionals do: Convert Text to Outlines Before Sending to Print 🔤
Before exporting your final print file, convert your fonts to outlines (also called “create outlines” or “convert to curves”).
Why?
To make sure your artwork stays the same as you created it.
👉 Converting to outlines turns your text into vector shapes.
👉 It prevents font substitution issues.
👉 Your layout will look exactly as you designed it.
Just remember to save an editable version with live text first — once outlined, you can’t edit the wording easily!
Clean files = fewer surprises at print.
