FTP us your files
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - This allows you to upload your files directly to our server. No more couriers or UPS to deal with. Send us your files directly and we can get started. This can save valuable time on time sensitive projects.

Java:
MacOs X or MacOs 9 with Java 1.3 or higher. For more information click the following link: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/

To FTP:
First, establish a high speed connection (nothing less than DSL). Please do not attempt to FTP on a dial up connection.

Then, before you send your files make sure to stuff or zip the file. This puts an added layer of protection on the file as well as makes it transfer faster. You will also need to call and get a user name and password.

Last, please call Customer Service (770) 279-2209 ext. 13 and let them know you are sending the files, this will allow prepress to expedite your job.

Collection of Files of Native Files (Quark, Indesign)
All files need to be collected and organized into a document file (Quark, Indesign) Links folder for all of the support files, and all of the fonts that were used. Please only use Postscript Type 1 fonts. Any Illustrator or Corel Draw Documents need to have all text converted to outlines and images converted to CMYK. If there are any questions about the above procedures please contact Vision Web before you send your files.

PDF Instructions
In order to prepare a PDF properly, it needs to be a 300dpi PDF, if it is in color it needs to be CMYK and include bleed if the file needs to bleed. No register marks or color bars needed in the PDF. All marks are added by Vision Web in a custom template.

If the file is grayscale, the file needs to be prepared in grayscale mode, so the black printer will separate properly.

Please verify that all PDF files that are sent are the proper resolution. You may do this by contacting your CSR at Vision Web and obtaining the proper PDF presets for the native application or you can download the Indesign presets from the links below.
