Convert artwork to shapes and easily combine them to streamline screen color separations.
What you'll learn
Prepare artwork for screen print production
Expand all strokes to maintain appearance when scaled. Convert live text to outlines so your print provider can open the file without the exact font.
Group like elements on a single layer
Use the Pathfinder panel to unite shapes of the same color and knock out overlapping objects, making it easier to set up for screen printing.
Arrange similar-colored objects on their own layers
Place objects with the same print color on one layer and name layers descriptively to streamline production.
