Today, with Internet business becoming more and more popular, people are more likely to submit documents electronically versus delivering them by hand. For the most part, this is a good thing. It saves the customer a good deal of time, not having to drive to their print shop in the middle of their workday. However, sending files electronically is not perfect. If you are e-mailing documents, submitting them electronically (via a web page), or sending to an FTP site, problems can sometimes occur. Whether it is because your Internet server closed your connection, or because your files somehow became corrupted. Whatever the reason may be, it is usually more reliable to submit the file the old fashioned way.

The issue of electronic submission is not necessarily that big of a concern, however when a customer delivers a document by hand it is more likely that the customer and the contractor will have the opportunity to address all the concerns and communicate responsibly about the job.

When submitting files electronically it is also important to keep in mind the size of all the files you are sending, especially when dealing with graphics. The larger the file sizes, the longer it will take to send them electronically. If you are sending your files via e-mail, it is important to note that most e-mail providers will not allow files over a certain size to be sent using their services. For this reason, we cannot accept any more than 5 megs worth of files if they are being sent via e-mail.

If you are bringing by your documents we can accept them on a few different disk formats: 3½ floppy, Zip Disk (100), Jaz Disk (1gig), or CD.

We do have the ability of handling both Macintosh and PC files. It is very important, however, for you to submit your files on the disk format they were created in. That is, if you created your files on a Macintosh, save them on a Mac disk. If they were created on a PC, save them on a PC disk.

No matter which way you are submitting your document, it is always important to include a hard copy. This gives us the ability to compare what we have on disk to what you want, so we can make whatever changes are necessary.
