Exchanging Files - An Introduction to FTP:
__________________________________________________________________________________Increased Internet bandwidth, the increase in the allowable size of email attachments, and portable document format (PDF) files, have simplified file transfer between systems.
However, due to the amount and size of files being transferred, it is oftentimes necessary to transfer files across systems using file transfer protocols, or FTP.
The term "FTP" can represent both a file transfer program, and the underlying protocol used to send data or files.
We prefer receiving print-ready PDF files. However, we accept files from all major publishing software. Please
contact us concerning any questions you may have.
Prior to uploading your files, please ensure that a zipped filed is created and named. File names should not contain special characters or embedded blanks. An underscore may be used in place of a blank space. Also, file names should not exceed 28 characters.
Please ensure your files have been checked for print readiness.
- All images must be converted to CMYK. No RGB images.
- All fonts need to included, embedded, or contain the path structure.
