Hello all,

In seeing this website I have no doubts that what i need for info will be found right here. I am new to screenprinting and would like to get some advice on what is the best program would be to produce quality artwork. I run a Mac system and was wondering what would be the best program. Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Corel is what I would recommend, but it doesn't run on a MAC. Illustrator should be great, along with photoshop. Any other files and you probably don't want to deal with them. Especially Word or PowerPoint. Nothing is worse than those files.

Corel...... and it will run on a Mac if it runs parallels. I forget which model or chip... the Mac with the Intel chip I believe.

I would start out with a vector such as Illustrator or Corel and master those first before going on to Photoshop. Take a class or buy some DVD's for training.
