How do I prepare an Illustrator file for printing white text on a dark t-shirt?

There are no graphics, just text. The finished product is going to be white text on a red t-shirt.
What are the steps in preparing a file in Illustrator for this purpose, and what do I need to do before sending it off to the printer?
Thanks.

I would call or email your printer and ask him or her the same question. There are a number of ways to indicate white ink, it would be good to know their preference. My guess is they will ask you to supply a PDF with black type and indicate somewhere that it's to print in white ink. They might prefer an .eps file. An illustration of a red T-shirt with white type in the desired location and size would also help insure you get what you want.

How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

How do you prepare a PDF file for 4 signatures & dates?

Hi,
You can achieve this by using text tags. EchoSign Text Tags are specially formatted text that can be placed anywhere within the content of your
document specifying the location, size, type of fields such as signature and initial fields, check boxes, radio buttons and form fields, and advanced optional field processing rules. Text Tags can also be used as names of PDF Form fields.
Text Tags are converted into EchoSign form fields when the document is sent for signature or uploaded to the EchoSign Document Library. EchoSign Text Tags can be placed in any document type such as PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and text files (.txt, .rtf)
Please refer to page 5 ( date) and 10 (signature) of the Creating Adobe Echosign Forms With Text Tags.The document can be found here
Thanks,

Illustrator file not printing correctly

How do I set my Illustrator file to print clearly?
I am designing a simple label (3.75 x 1.25 inches, black and white) that is mostly text based. I tried printing directly from Illustrator and also as a converted PDF (high quality) and the results are the same - slightly blurry and fuzzy text.
The printing problem seems to only happen when I try to print Illustrator files and PDFs converted from Illustrator. (Printing with a laser printer.)
Thank you.

With some adjusting the artwork actually prints ok, not great, but not as bad as the text, which I created outlines but still fuzzy.
After doing more research, I don't think my laser printer (Brother 2270DW) is postscript and I can't find a driver for that specific model and for a mac.
I've tried printing eps, opening pdf via preview (which some suggested), print as image, uncheck bitmap, use PCL setting on the printer... nothing seems to work. I guess new printer? Or is there another roundabout way?
Thanks!

Auto preparing file for printing Feature (extension)

do you know extension or plug-in for auto preparing a file for print?
I have a bunch of calling cards, flyers, brochures and etc.,
and I manually setting it up for print over and over again, sometimes I forgot 1 or 2 steps of doing that like missing cutting guides.
now I'm looking for that feature or similar, I know this is not impossible.
I have a idea but I don't know codes.

Hello IanHP8500,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue getting your Officejet 8500 scanning on Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help you with this issue.
Did you upgrade to 8.1 from an older version of Windows?
If so, with it not scanning correctly. You can try just removing the HP Solution Center from programs and features.
Go to the bottom left corner of your screen right click on the Windows icon> go to Control Panel> Go to Programs> uninstall Solution Center if it's listed.
Next, instead of using the printer install wizard. Download the software from this link: HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver. Let it run through, it should prompt to " add more software". This should allow you to reinstall Solution Center.
If you run into issues, there is something you may have to do. If you get a file missing error here, or the install hangs check your computer for the following.
McAfee Live Safe - Disable the "Realtime Scanning".
Check for and remove HPOINS*.dat or HPWINS*.dat. Here is a link to a post by JonW on how to do this: Re: installer setup hangs under Windows 8.1.
Try all of this, and let me know how you make out. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

Hello:
Rather than try to buy a box, I suggest you take the computer to a FedEx or UPS store. They will wrap and safely package the device for a reasonable cost (I have shipped two iMacs this way).

Hi-
You need to create a text link to the file...
On your page, type a word that you want to be the link... then select the word, and in the inspector pane, click the link tab (the arrow on the far right) and check "enable as hyperlink." Then choose "file" from the dropdown menu and a chooser box will open for you to locate the file on your hard drive.
Choose the file by clicking "open" once it's located. Then the next time you publish, the file will be uploaded and linked to!
Hope this helps... I think I got all the steps in there!

What is the best way to create illustrator files for frames created in an InDesign layout?

Is there a quick way to do that or do i need to note the size of each frame in InDesgin and then input that into the dialog in illustrator. It seems like a waste of time. Is there a better way?
I am new to InDesgin. What I'd like is a way to automatically generate blank illustrator files to fill in the graphic frames in my layout.
Thanks,
John

I have no existing Illustrator files for the project. I'm tring to use InDesign to create a rapid protoype. I may be working backward from what is expected.
If I could generate blanks that are the correct size that would be an easy way to get started on them, but copying the sizes to the new document dialog box in Illustrator is not a big deal either.
I figured that if i could create an Illustrator blank from InDesign that would get me started in illustrator quickly and also place the new file in the frame.
