Type Setting
1. Photoshop5.5 layered files with type layers. Include fonts associated with file.
2. Illustrator8.0 vector graphic files. Include fonts associated with file.
3. Some vector formats allow for type without font files or you might not want to send the font. In Illustrator be sure to create outlines of all type that does not include a font. Photoshop stores a rendered version of type layers, so fonts are not always needed.
4. If possible, avoid Quark documents as Quark often utilizes proxies(lo-res copies)of images and does not allow exporting type with outlines or paths. Quark files can incur extra creative costs if conversion to a suitable format is necessary.
5. Problems with fonts can incurr additional setup charges and/or delay delivery. Always proof read your projects copy carefully.
6. The lenticular lens has a tendency to make thin lines appear and disapear. On images under 16" x 20" uses fonts no smaller than about 12 point. Use 14 point if text must be readable for legal reasons, like rules and warnings. Larger images should use font sizes in the 30+ point range so that no letters are under 1/2" in size.
