Adobe Illustrator

[Not your average framer]

I'm thinking about buying Adobe Illustrator and wondered if anyone can give me any idea about what the limitations would be in buying the basic version as opposed to the full package.

Thanks in anticipation,
Mark

Hi John,

Although I will find it useful for normal graphics design projects, I have a particular idea I want to develop which will involve cutting various materials with a vinyl cutter.

Hi Stephen,

Looking on the Adobe website there are two different versions CS5 and CS5.5. There's a significant price difference between the two versions.

you should buy corel draw then, most companies who make cutters supply drivers for corel draw

most people in the industry use corel draw for that kinda stuff

[stcstc]

no there is only one version of ilustrator, but there is then creative suite

which there are version of containing photoshop, indesign etc

There's a huge price difference between Corel draw and Adobe Illustrator. I hear a lot of good things about Adobe Illustrator, is Corel draw as good?

[stcstc]

I prefer illustrator as I grew up with it

But for what your doing Corel is the best thing

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll get a used copy of Corel Draw on eBay to start with and perhaps get Illustrator when the project starts making money.

Thanks again,
Mark

if so i would talk to the supplier about the best thing to do etc
