Preparing
Your Electronic Files For Transfer
When sending us a file via internet,,
reduce transmission time by compressing the entire file -- including
graphics and fonts -- into one big file. Do this by coping all
files into it's own directory, compress that directory, and ftp it to us.
You can use such compression software as Winzip, or Stuffit for PC or
Mac.
We can accept computer
files from your disk, or via internet, for production by following
these simple guidelines.
The two major desktop computer platforms are PC and Mac. In
the past, there were problems communicating between these two
platforms. Today, these problems are greatly reduced, especially
when using our recommended software programs.
If your hardware and software is capatable with ours, the translation
of the data is simple. The less the two systems match, the greater
the chance problems may occur. We can often go into the file,
and try to fix these problems, but that's not always successfull. In addition,
in cases where information is successfully converted, some adjustments
may be required for printing.
For example, if we do not have the type font you used to create
the document -- or if it is a "bargain" font -- the
entire document may not format correctly. The type may be the
wrong size, the spacing may not be correct, and the whole document
may not flow, the way it was originally laid out.
