All the printers we use for high-end stuff around here (Detroit) are very
PC
friendly... and CorelDRAW friendly as well. It's been two or three years
since I've seen Mac-only at at least 4 or 5 facilities in town... which is
great. And ever since Corel got their EPS writer on track (with version 7
or
8, I believe) there's been no trouble saving as EPS or Illustrator for the
few times we've run across Mac-only services. Even the Kinko's around here
all have CorelDRAW. And Corel rocks when it comes to publi****ng PDF (at
least v10 & v11) for print and more and more printers are going that way
to
be platform independent anyway. Low-res PDF for client approval and
high-res
PDF to the printer.

All in all, it's like any of the "LW versus other 3D application"
arguments;
it's personal preference... and the results have far more to do with WHO
is
using it than how "great" the software is.
