I have had "old equipment" issues with a company creating tee-shirts and 
sweats for a local company.  I sent them JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF, and several 
other file formats and not one of them worked with their old Mac system 
that creates the ink-screening "template".  Had to send the guy the font 
and a image in his email [which would not work for the old system] so he 
could recreate the logo himself to match ours as best as he could on his 
system.  Not 100%, but "good enough" for our Board of Directors, when he 
sent his file back to me, that worked on my Ubuntu system.

That is the reason I always ask about equipment and file format 
requirements.  Most times I can find a company that does not have 
problems, but that "printer" was local and had the best pricing.
