How can I utilize Photoshops new vector type feature? How does it improve my printed piece?
Using vector type will give you top-quality, sharp, 2540dpi type, as opposed to rasterized type which will only be 350dpi. We’d prefer that you use the standard method of assembling your vector files with raster files in a page layout program like Quark, but if you wish to shorten your design labors by creating your type within your Photoshop file, you must flatten your layers before you save your Photoshop format (.psd) file as an eps file. If Photoshop names your file with “copy” in the filename, it’s a good warning that you are saving out your vector-containing eps file incorrectly.
