Here are some things to remember when submitting your print files to us...
- To send your files,
simply send us an email with
your text and graphics files included as attachments. For MS
Outlook or Outlook Express, choose File under the Insert menu, then
browse for the document you would like to send.
- File too large for email? No problem.
We offer access via FTP. Please email to request an account - we will respond promptly with all of the information you will need to use this service.
You will need an FTP Client to use this service. We recommend FileZilla, which is available at no cost to you from the FileZilla Project Website. It is available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
FileZilla is open source software distributed free of charge under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
- Your
best bet will be to convert any files you want printed to PDF format. Most recent versions of popular graphics software (even Microsoft
Word) have an option to create a PDF file of a document. If you are using a Mac, this functionality is even built in to recent versions of the OS, and available through the print dialog in ANY application.
Using PDF files eliminates the need to include all linked files, fonts, etc. - much easier than the "old days" of digital printing.
- If you are scanning
photos, it is important to consider how you will be outputting them. For offset printing or printing on a digital press, a good rule of thumb is to scan photos at 300dpi or higher.
- If you are using output from a digital camera, it is important to consider resolution requirements of the output device on which your project will be printed. For best results, set your camera to the highest quality setting possible.
- For any other additional
help you might need: Feel free to call us at 707-775-4300 or e-mail
