●OUTLINING TEXT
"Outlining is a method where normal font/texts are converted to vector graphics.
If a typeface that TAKACHI does not have installed is used, the data may be incorrectly printed.
Ensure that all text are properly outlined; if not, a similar installed typeface will be randomly chosen."

To avoid pixelated images, ensure that the data is created with a vector software.
Additional fees for data creation may be required if print data is not suitable to be used for printing.

Coarse image data

Printed image【Vector Data】Image clarity remains unchanged even when magnified.

【Raster Data】Image clarity worsens (pixels become visible) when magnified.

●PDF Data

Takachi

Images on scanned pdf cannot be used for printing.
Text, shapes etc. have to be embedded in the print file.

When converting from a DWG to PDF file, the print quality will be the same as viewing a pdf file on a PC.
Utilizing Adobe Acrobat (or Acrobat Reader) to convert the data will also yield a similar result.
