Hudson…
I’ll pass this along to some of the forum locals who do apparel.
Or, if I forget, they’re likely to check in here beforew too long and answer your question.
If you were a Maccer, I could clue you up to some specific answers, but I only do Windows when I’m forced to, or if I’m being paid really well, above and beyond my usual fees for doing the same things on a Mac. 🙂
Regardless of all that……………..
Additionally, you need to answer the following questions in the meantime, so those who are better equipped to answer will know what your skill-levels are with software and the sort of job that you are dealing with:
What system, processor, how much RAM?
Please explain what sort of printing you want to do with these logos and images. Are you looking to get away with inexpensive output (i.e.: one or two silkscreen colors) or do you want continuous tone photographic-style printing. Or, might it possibly be resourced for embroidery on shirts or baseball caps?
Are you designing this stuff to be also be used on other items besides apparel? Business cards? Newsletters? Telephone book or newspaper adverts? Billboards or banners?
What applications and plugins are you familiar with? Rate your skills from Ø (newbie) to 10 (brilliant application guru)?
Answer these questions, and offer any other information you think might be relevant.
Check your answering machine and call your Mom.
