Hey,

I'm working on a t-shirt design with an irregular font that the print shop likely wont have. If I rasterize the text, does that effectively preserve my font image? If not, how should I do it? I tried to embed the same font before in illustrator and it said it was protected. Can you make outlines in photoshop like you can in illustrator? Also, what is the resolution I need to make this in if its going to be printed on a shirt?

Thanks!

do it in illustrator and convert the font to outlines.

or

rasterize.

the shorts will probably be silk screened so you don't need the res to be super high. it's a forgiving medium.
