Areyouready · October 15th, 2007

Hello everyone,
I would like to know what is the best way for a screen printer to receive a file. I have learned Illustrator on my own and have some designs ready to print. I am running in to a problem with saving and/or exporting. What is the best way to take an Illustrator file and send it to a computer that has Corel Draw and/or one that has Freehand.
Do I need to expand, flatten, create outline (which looks the same as expand)
Save down to AI9, Export EPS? Help?
All advice is needed.
