•  Convert fonts to curves (also called outlines or paths) so your fonts won't be needed during printing.

•  If your application can't do this then send the font files along with your order.

•  Right-Click on each file type above, then click "Save As" to download a sample of that file type.  The sample file is a business card already set up so you can quickly see what we are looking for.
