Sorry to post this here, I originally had it in graphic design but no one responded and I really need a quick answer.
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!

I'd convert the text to outlines in Illustrator, and if you need to, import them to Photoshop. Or just give the printers the font.
edit: Oh and 300dpi for raster images being printed.

If you working on shirt stuff, work on CMYK colours and then when you ready to print convert your image to RGB

You got it in reverse mac15, always work in CMYK as long as you're printing on a 4 color press/ink jet, go to spot colors for silk screening, (I'm guessing) I know nothing about silk screen. RGB is for on screen use only. I guess you could design in RGB and convert to CMYK but your colors will change and look bad, so I say work in CMYK as long as your working to print.

wow.. Well let's hope that person hasn't told anyone else, because it's 100% wrong and can really make colors wrong. Going to college for design one hears it so many times that it drives you crazy.
You're working in RGB and saving in RGB for on screen stuff too right? (I should hope)
