When you've finished creating your design, you'll need to do a few things with your fonts to be able to send them to your printer correctly.
Typically, printers ask that you to package a duplicate of all the original font files within the documents you're printing in addition to all your other files, just in case something goes wrong they can have a look to see what the design should actually look like.
Furthermore, they'll ask you to do what's called "outlining" your fonts. In simple terms, this turns the characters of each and every font into paths rather than actual type, almost like you drew a shape in Illustrator, as opposed to typed text using the Type tool. By doing this is becomes easier for the program to find fonts.
There are other detailed main reasons why (mostly to do with the real difference between rasters and vectors), you should flatten Photoshop files so that your printers are able to see exactly what the final image should look like, so send over a layered file along with any fonts you employed in creating it.
However, our recommendation is that, even though you're laying text in a Photoshop register for printing, that you first create it in Illustrator then drop it into Photoshop after doing this. It might take added time and will certainly be a bit cumbersome going back and forth between programs, but the quality of the type will likely be phenomenally much better than typing any text in Photoshop.
Although we have covered the basics first it is best practice to find and speak with a printer before you start work. This is because each printer will have their own way of doing things and this will effect your overall outcome. It also helps decide what package to design in!
