Thanks for the help in advance.

I have a client that I sent films to. SHe is having trouble printing, using accurip. I believe she has corel draw, but I use illustrator. Normally, I simply send off either an AI file or Tiff to printers and there is no problem. (I don't know if what program they use to print). This client is new to screenprinting and has many questions which I do my best to help and answer, but I have never used accurip before, and I have no idea what her set up is.

1) Will accurip print a tiff file or does it only work with vector?
2) If I convert the files to EPS or SVG, is it easy to print in accurip or is there a learning curve?
3) I know the most recent corel draw can open AI files, I have a tiff halftone embedded in the design, if I convert/send the vector art to her, do I need to convert the halftones to paths?

There may be more questions, thought, I don't know what exactly to ask. Any insight/direction is appreciated.

Thanks.

Accurip process the job that have been sent from any program (photoshop, Illustrator, so on...)

If she open the tiff in a graphic program whatever it is and send it to accurip queue then there will have no problem.

What is in the Tiff or AI, the design in colors or just the color separated ready to print.

You need to send "black plate" to accurip

like these :

What was the solution?

This will help others with the same issue - even if it was something you consider stupid. Maybe I'll be stupid next week and need the answer!
