Video tutorial: how to outline text

You can outline your text in Photoshop or Illustrator

Photoshop

1. Open the original Photoshop file (.psd).
2. Find layers containing text (denoted by a "T" in the layer name).
3. Right-click the layer and select "Convert to Shape".
4. Your text is now a shape, and is vectorized - this will make the text look as crisp as possible when printed.
