Im preparing some graphics for printing and I realize the white stroke -as in Illustrator's 'stroke' or outline- may cause some trouble. i used a thick stoke to give overlaping objects some separation. does anyone know how will this print? Would we be better off if I made a Tiff file?
I'm asuming that nothing will print but the fill of the actual object minus the stoke.
if this is something you have experience please reply or eslse ill look like a fool when the proofs come from the printer.thunks.

it should print just like you plan it too

just outline the stroke before sending it to them.

bonseff always speaks the truth. sounds like you've got it set up to be fool proof with the separation of colors by a stroke.

will work fine, unless the path is unusually funky (lots of bezier points) or has a trap applied.
it should work fine as described, though.

thanks a lot. you are the best!

change the view to an outline. If you set the outline to white then it will print in white.

whats a path trap?
- BonSeff0
trapping is the slight overlapping of colors or shapes to insure the space is either filled with ink or has an absence of ink

ha ha you dont print in white..ha ha yeah ok smart ass, cmyk I know... I got my words wrong. It will still be recognized as white space. If that stroke outline is placed over a colour background it will give the white impression as so ...
