Before you upload.
Before you upload. Helpful tips and tricks to keep your files moving. |

What should you be sending?
• layout files in our templates
• fonts
• images |
| |
|
Why we need these things:
If we have the fonts and images used in the layout files, we can make sure that the proper fonts and images are loaded when processing the layout file, improving the chances of the job going smoothly. Also if you wish to make changes during the proofing process, having these files greatly increases the options we have in editing the design. |

Other Helpful Tips
• Always remember to double check your compressed file. Zip, sit or hqx, unarchive it and see if you get any errors.
• Characters such as \ / : * ? % # < > in file names can cause problems. Please try to avoid them.
• Long file names will be truncated by our site. For example, ABCprinting3x7Janí06)ECMNewFrontCover.qxd would not be seen. This would become truncated to read: ABCprinting˜.qxd which can cause confusion on our end.
• If you’re not archiving your files, we recommend having extensions on the end of your file names. An extension is a suffix to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention (file format) of its contents. For example, mycdart.psd is a file that was saved as a .psd, also known as a Photoshop file. |

|
| 2. |
Click the "Select..." button to locate the file you want to upload on your computer and select the file.
NOTE: If you have multiple files to upload it's best and easiest if you compress your files into one Stuffit or Zip archive (.zip, .sit or .hqx formats only). You can download the necessary software for free at www.stuffit.com or www.winzip.com Do not upload a self extracting archive (.exe or .sea) we will not use those as they are significant virus risks. Please note you will not be able to upload files larger than 500MB to our FTP server. If your files are larger than 500MB, you will need to send us your files on a CD-R, DVD-R or Zip disc. |
