Well.. :) ... typically you'd provide a PDFx file and the provider wouldn't ever see the AI layers panel. They will see a stroke around all the text though. Makes for nightmare trapping at times.

Okay, maybe more than a couple of sideways looks; I'm a little embarrassed now because my AI layers panel is far from professional looking. I got a ways to go with AI for sure! Thanks for the help! | |

Commercial printing won't have that issue. But, you may get some sideways looks from print providers :) Really it's best to change fonts rather than add strokes.

I can't be sure if it's because my inkjet printer sucks or the stroke is causing issues. On Illustrator it looks fine. | |
