Default What software(versions) accepted by plastisol transfer makers?

I'm about to buy graphic design software and wanted to ask if anyone knew of any that are not accepted by the plastisol transfer makers. I don't want to buy the software and then have the plastisol transfer companies reject my designs because they do not work with a particular type/version of software. (I seem to think that I heard that the newest version of Corel graphics suite was not accepted by one of the plastisol transfer makers...I could be wrong.) Thanks ahead of time to anyone that can clarify this for me.

i use F&M and they will accept illy cs2 and earlier or corel x3 or earlier - but, that said, with either program you can have the newest version and save down - just bear in mind that special effects that may be available in the newer version may not be able to be recreated in an older version.

So then is it safe to say that I can get the newest version of Corel graphics suite and all plastisol transfer makers will be able to accept it...I just may not have all of my effects "show up" if they are using a not as recent version? Thanks.

Most printers will except .EPS files there vector and they can work with them, In Corel you can save in previous version but not needed if you export in .EPS

Default Re: What software(versions) accepted by plastisol transfer makers?

I've wondered the same thing about plastisols, and have been peeking around for info. What about Photoshop? Do any plastisol mfgs accept that? I saw someone saying use photoshop for one of the plastisol mfgs and all will be fine. Wasn't sure if that was good advice at the time, but I wanted to follow up on it, so here I am! Thank you guys!!! A zillion as usual!

I see that F&M Expressions lists AI, CD and PS as ways to submit for their freedom transfers. Would PS be limiting as far as suppliers that accept them? Thanks
