Hey Guys,

After saving artwork as jpeg in illustrator adobe cs6. it always leaves a thin white border around the text(Picture bellow).Tried adding stroke with same colour but still have thin white border text. It wouldn't usually be a problem except for when the background is a dark colour or black.
Why does it do this?? Does anyone know how to avoid this frustrating problem?

It's a bit late but i had the same issue and found the solution. Just change the black bg from default black (c0% m0% y0% k0%) to a pure black (c100% m100% y100% k100%).

If you want a desaster in printing, then you'll surely have to do that, yes.

What would you do then, to avoid other issues?


The grey hairline only appears in CMYK files, which are files for printing. In the offset print that line will not be there.

It might appear when you print to an inkjet printer. In order to suppress it, you could use trapping for example: make a stroke around the text and set that to multiply. But really, what to do about it would depend on your individual situation.

shims,

What happens if you save just the Type/text as PNG24 (and set Matte to black if that makes a difference)?

PNG24 is a more obvious choice than JPEG for vector artwork.

Apart from that, I see no white.

Thanks Jacob Bugge!
I have tried saving just the text as PNG and import the same on dark background but this white line border is still there. It's so

annoying. This Screenshot is from the PDF.

Shims,

Apart from my still seeing no white (but a JPEG like appearance (muddy)), I am still pondering.
