How to make a brush where a create a brush where there is a outer line in white?

[raquel_sofiam24090220]

Hi

It wanted to start with printing some illustrations, but my printer is kind of bad, and so the intersected thin lines in some illustrations would appear as blob.

This can be solved with a brush where there is a white outline, so no line is truly intersected.

How can I do this, without drawing white lines on the intersection or raising the intersections a bit?

Is there any solid brush with a white outline, if not is it possible to do one?

Cheers,

Raquel

Should we move this to the Illustrator forum?

This is not possible to do. However the good news is that you don't need it to be able to be done.

You should be able to just use whatever brush/tool you normally use. Convert it to a path and add a white stroke to it.

If that doesn't work, could you provide some screenshots of what you are trying to do?

Hi, thanks Brad

but, does that mean I have to add an white stroke manually to each intersections? because I have thousands!

Or maybe I am not understanding

You can create a white thicker stroke  in the Appearance panel below the black stroke.

Create a Graphic Style and apply it to the strokes.

then I guess I can save that as a personalise brush, right?

That might work

THANKS!

Yes you can apply a Graphic style to existing paths or create a brush with the 2 strokes method.
