Might they also accept pdf or svg?

Only using ai seems fairly unusual for a printshop.

Does your artwork include Shape Layers, Type Layers, Vector Masks?

No, my artwork just one layer of image. I think they want .ai for the correct color and maximum resolution.

I ask if .pdf ok and they say no.

Is .svg of .eps can be the same as .ai?

That printshop doesn't know what they are doing. Avoid, and look for another one. They'll accept AI only? Ridiculous. Terminate your business with them.

Do you know how to use Illustrator? If you do, or if you can learn fast, you could download the trial. I don't know if it's only seven days, like Photoshop, or maybe longer.
