Why converting fonts to outlines is a good idea

Converting fonts is an important part of sign printing. Without it, we might not be able to print your flash new font as we probably don’t have it installed on our end.  This is especially the case for custom fonts that aren’t typical run of the mill styles, and let’s face it – you’re going to want a custom font to make your brand stand out and look cool.  So, once you’ve gone to all the trouble of designing a great piece of artwork, you’ll no doubt also want it to print or cut the way it is intended.

What’s the solution? Convert your font to an outline! Easy.
