ftp guidelines
At MGS, we strive towards excellence, accuracy
and attention to details.
- To help us do our best for you, please follow
these simple steps before sending your job:
Contact your MGS Sales representative and obtain a docket number to
identify your job.
- Place the file(s) you plan to send to MGS in
a folder.
- Identify the folder with the docket number
you received from your MGS Sales representative prior to sending the
file.
- Take the folder and all its contents and "stuff"
or "zip" it and identify the "stuff-it" file with
your assigned docket number.
(This ensures that your job will be attended to and recognized as soon
as we receive it, as well as ensuring that the files you send are recognizable
as the type of file and program that they were created in.)
- Include all fonts.
- Include all graphic files that are linked to the document. (It
is important to include all graphic files even if they are embedded
within a document. Often alterations need to be made to the original
linked files, such as conversion of colours from RGB to CMYK or
the addition of trap to vector images)
- Ensure that all full-colour bitmaps are CMYK (not RGB)
Ensure that bitmaps are the correct resolution (roughly 300 dpi
for 133 or 150 linescreen). Beware of images retrieved from the
Internet. They are likely too low resolution for offset printing)
Remove all compression used when saving your images, and save them
only as a "tif" or "eps" file.
- SUPPLY A PROOF OF YOUR JOB either by fax or
in PDF format to MGS. Our fax number is (780) 465-5443. Your proof will
show us what to expect to receive from your email. This also helps us
establish what the file looks like and therefore produce the job according
to your exact specifications. If the proof is not the latest version
of your file(s), please forward a revised proof or mark ALL changes
on the original proof sent to MGS.
- Pess the 'begin upload process' button and
begin the process of sending your job to our ftp site. Just follow the
step by step process of sending your file to us. Fill out the form and
then attatch the stuffed or zipped file you have created and your file
will be sent to us along with all the information we need in a corisponding
email that is automatically sent to us to notify us of your jobs arrival.
