Alright, I brought back the other post Jimmy made about Corel along time ago to avoid having to make a new post...but nobody seemed to respond. My client that I did tee shirt designs for needs the illustrator (.AI) files in Corel format. Their printer uses Corel? I don’t know why, but is their a certain format I can export the .AI file into something that can be opened in Corel. I’ve asked him to ask them, but he hasn’t said anything other that they can’t open it. Any help is greatly appreciated...

tell them to tell you exactly what format they want ... not just "corel" ... also ask them if they’ve tried using "import" in corel.

yeah....that’s what I figured but I have to deal with a middle man who doesn’t know anything....i’m trying to get the printers number/email address

Dude I posted this in the other one:
If it has multiple layers, save it as a AI file without compression and tell them to import it instead of opening it. EPS’s work also but will flatten all of your layers. PDFs work usually also.

what if it doesn’t have multiple layers? export it as an eps?

Yea, an EPS will work. Just make sure if you’re using any fonts to have them converted into outlines.

Don’t know if this came up yet but, corel can handle psd. It’s the best bet for keeping layers.
