The results were astounding! Sharper text and images with an even quicker workflow. It\u2019s time we got the word out\u2014 send us vector artwork for pad print!<\/p>\n<p>How can you do that? When you\u2019re designing pad print artwork in Photoshop or Illustrator and you\u2019re entering a line of text, don\u2019t rasterize said text, and don\u2019t flatten the file. Turn the text and objects into work paths when using Photoshop, or turn them into outlines in Adobe Illustrator. This way when we print we won\u2019t be using a bitmapped layer with resolution loss. Instead we\u2019ll have sharp lines without the fuzziness you\u2019d find in bitmap text. It will also help us print thinner lines that wouldn&#8217;t be possible otherwise, as our new laser engraver has 10x finer resolution, equal in quality to lithograph film.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the graphic design savvy to turn into work paths or outlines, another thing you could do is to keep the text layer as a text layer. That is to say do not rasterize the text, and do not flatten the file. We&#8217;ll do our best to turn the text into outlines on our end. Once you see the final results, you\u2019ll be happy we did!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-483 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duplication.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/38326_BlackDresses01-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"Black Dresses cassette\" width=\"584\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.duplication.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/38326_BlackDresses01-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.duplication.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/38326_BlackDresses01-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.duplication.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/38326_BlackDresses01-466x300.jpg 466w, https:\/\/www.duplication.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/38326_BlackDresses01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">You can still submit the pad print files the old fashioned way, with rasterized text or bitmapped images.
