We support Macintosh and Windows platforms, BUT ALWAYS PREFER MAC FILES FOR GRAPHICS.
AUTOCAD IS FOR MECHANICAL DESIGN
| Macintosh | Windows 2000 | |
| • Macromedia Freehand MX | • Adobe Illustrator 10.0 | |
| • Adobe Illustrator CS | • Adobe Photoshop 6.0 | |
| • CorelDraw 11.0 | • Corel Draw 11.0 | |
| • Adobe Photoshop CS* | • AutoCAD 2004 | |
| • QuarkXpress 6.1 | • EPS | |
| • EPS | • DXF | |
| • JPEG/TIFF* |
EPP uses AutoCAD for Membrane Switch applications, but not graphics. If a customer must use AutoCad for label files or a graphic application, they should supply DXF files in conjunction with CorelDRAW. This approach has limited success and the customer should be aware that LABEL JOBS SUBMITTED IN AUTOCAD WILL UNDERGO A CONVERSION TO A MAC PLATFORM PROGRAM AND WILL BE PROOFED.
