FILE UPLOAD
You can transfer your artwork to Imprint using any of the methods outlined below.
Please take a moment to review these instructions, not following them can cause delays in your order.
FILE CHECK LIST: Please include all of the following with
your order:
1. All fonts. Mac fonts only. Windows fonts must be outlined. PostScript or TrueType,
although TrueType fonts can be problematic when outputting, so consider
yourself warned. PostScript fonts should include a suitcase/screen file
with separate printer file for each weight (bold, italic, etc.). We do
not accept Windows fonts, if you are using a Windows computer, please
outline your fonts or contact Brad for other solutions.
2. All linked or embedded images. ANY image file that is used in your artwork... ANY, whether embedded or linked, you must submit to us.
3. Layout files. We accept InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark (last resort) documents. InDesign
is preferred for layout.
4. DO NOT UPLOAD ARTWORK WITHOUT AN ORDER NUMBER! Artwork uploaded without an order number will be deleted!
Save all of these items into unique folders (one folder for fonts, one
for images, one for layouts), then put all those items into ONE
FOLDER. Name that folder your order number, then compress it with Stuffit
or something similar... then you're good to go! If
you have any questions about this, email brad@iloveimprint.com and he'll tell you what's what.
UPLOAD OPTION #1: Upload via our website...
** DO NOT UPLOAD ARTWORK WITHOUT AN ORDER NUMBER! **
Three easy steps for you to upload your files:
IMPORTANT!! Name your file your order number. For example 6345.zip or 8734.sit or 2394.rar
Please stick to this file naming convention, do not name your files anything other than the order number.
- Click the browse/choose your file button and navigate to the stuffit or zip file located on your hard drive.
- Click on your stuffit or zip file then click open/choose.
- Click the upload button.
- DO NOT UPLOAD ARTWORK WITHOUT AN ORDER NUMBER!
When your file has been successfully uploaded to our server your web browser will be directed to a "File Uploaded Successfully!" page. If your browser is not directed to this page, your file has not been uploaded to our server, so either try again, or use another method of getting your file to us (see below). If your file is large, this could take a while, depending on how fast your upload is, which if your with Comcast, or some other cable/dsl provider, it's pretty slow.

UPLOAD OPTION #2: Upload directly to our FTP server...
** DO NOT UPLOAD ARTWORK WITHOUT AN ORDER NUMBER! **
All you need to connect to our FTP server is an FTP client application. Here are some examples of popular FTP apps:
Click here for Mac OS X FTP apps. (Transmit recommended.)
Click here for Windows FTP apps. (CuteFTP or SmartFTP recommended.)
All files uploaded to our FTP must be archived, meaning they must be compressed using Stuffit or some other file compression utility. Failure to do this will result in deletion of your files.
Upon connecting to FTP you will see a folder titled "upload". Please upload your files into this folder. |
UPLOAD OPTION #3: Upload to your own web space, and we'll download it...
** DO NOT UPLOAD ARTWORK WITHOUT AN ORDER NUMBER! **
If you have web space of your own (and let's be honest, who doesn't? It's the 21st century), you can upload your file(s) there and email Brad with information as to where he can download it/them. He'll download it/them asap 'cause he's cool like that. |
UPLOAD OPTION #4: Save your artwork onto a CD or DVD and send it to us...
** DO NOT MAIL YOUR ARTWORK TO US WITHOUT AN ORDER NUMBER! **
You can always save all of your files on a CD or DVD and mail it to us... Our mailing address is 3449 Technology Dr., Suite 212, North Venice, FL 34275. Be sure to include your order number somewhere with the disc (preferably written directly on the disc). |
With all of those options outlined
above, there's no good reason why you can't get your artwork to us
in a way that makes everyone happy... and that's what we like to do,
make everyone happy. |
