: Draw Inside Tool - Illustrator I'm using the "draw inside" tool (located at the bottom of the left sided tool bar) within illustrator. Basically I'm attempting to put an image inside text

I'm using the "draw inside" tool (located at the bottom of the left sided tool bar) within illustrator.

Basically I'm attempting to put an image inside text and its coming out choppy (some edges aren't smoothed over and the letters are distorted). I'm using a simple San Serif - Myriad Pro.

SEE BELOW

I was hoping it was just a preview thing and that the final product wouldn't look like that, but I printed it out and it came out the same way - distorted and uneven.

Any idea how to fix this?

Might be a limitation of the tool. Worked fine for me though.

You could try manually masking it instead:

First, make a copy of your text object, put it at the top of the layer (has to be the same layer as the image is in), click the target button for the new text-object and select the container layer (by pressing the name of it not the target button). Then press the "Make/Release Clipping Mask" button in the Layers panel. See screenshot below:
