Positive/negative stroke dilemma
Hi everyone, I'm preparing a logo for print and have found a frustrating dilemma. The logo consists of a white square with a central outlined star in dark blue. It will screenprint in white on a dark blue base material (so the star outline needs to be reversed out of the white block). When I set up the artwork for visual purposes, the star was a dark blue outline on the white square. To set it up for print, I outlined the stroke and used 'pathfinder' to reverse it out of the white square (so essentially the positive line became a negative space). As soon as I did this, the line ppeared much thinner - and even more annoyingly, printed out thinner too. What's going on and can anyone help?
