E-mail

We do NOT recommend sending files over 2 MB (your ISP may not allow them) or that need to be processed on a rush basis in this manner. For oversized or rush jobs, please send via our FTP site.

Please compress all modem uploads:

We recommend that you create a ".sea" file of the files you wish to upload to us to make the process as uncomplicated as possible. Making sure that the file(s) are compressed and also all combined into one archive makes it the easiest to send, receive and process.

Universal PDF File

We have a wide range of software packages to better able us to handle your files. We can provide proofs in a hard copy output in black and white or color that you can visit our office to view or we can fax them to your location. We can also e-mail you a Universal PDF file that you view on your own computer (requires Adobe Acrobat).

Publisher Tips

In order for us to use your Microsoft Publisher file successfully, you must use the Pack and Go feature found in Publisher 2000 or newer versions. We also ask that you run the "Design Checker" found under the "Tools" menu and fix any problems it discovers before you bring us your file.

1. To access the Pack and Go feature, click on the "File" menu. When the drop down menu opens click on "Pack and Go." Then click on "Take to a commercial printing service."
2. When the Pack and Go wizard opens, select a location to save the files to such as a zip drive or a location on your hard drive.
3. Please be sure that all the check boxes are checked for including fonts and links to graphics. Also be sure that the Create Links for Embedded Graphics box is checked.
4. Click the Finish button and Publisher will create the following files in the location you selected during step 2:
   1. unpack.exe, a program used by the printer to unpack the compressed files;
   2. readme.txt, a file that includes instructions on unpacking the compressed files;
   3. packed01.puz, the compressed file that includes the publication, linked graphics and embedded fonts.
   4. packed01.pu1, a 1 KB file used by Publisher. (You do not have to do anything with this file.)
5. Bring the first three of these files along with a printed sample to Quality Quickprint. If they will not fit on a 3½ diskette, try using a zip disk or burning a CD. You may also email these files to stan@qualityquickprint.com. Please include printing instructions (quantity, paper, ink color(s), and any post printing services needed like folding, or numbering, etc.) in the body of the email along with instructions on how we may contact you.

Pagemaker Tips

In order to be able to successfully use your Pagemaker files, all graphics files and fonts used in your publication must be included. Please be aware that your fonts do have license restrictions on them and may not be legally available for you to bring to us. In addition, some graphic files may also be restricted in their use, particularly those that are copyright or trademark protected. Please use only fonts and graphics that may legally be transported to us for output. Using the following procedures will ensure that all graphics and fonts will be included.

1. Once your document is finished, please us the "Save for Service Provider" plug-in, located in the "Utilities" menu under "Plug-ins". The first step is to click on the "Preflight pub" Button on the "Summary" tab. The program will then check that your fonts and graphics are okay to package for taking to your service provider. Be aware, that it does not check license restrictions, copyright or trademark violations. All it does is check that the fonts and graphics used are available for packaging. If everything is okay, you will be notified by green check mark boxes followed by a message telling you that everything is okay. If there are problems, you will be notified by red x boxes and a message telling you that everything is not okay. You can check for specific problems by clicking on the "Fonts" tab for font problems and the "Links/OPI" tab for graphic problems. Once you have fixed the problems you are ready to package the publication. If there are problems that you do not know how to fix, please call Quality Quickprint at (386) 736-1353 for help resolving those issues.
2. Your next step is to click on the Package button in the bottom left corner of the SFSP window. This will open another window allowing you to navigate to where you want to save the publication, graphic files and font files. We recommend that you create a new separate folder to do this so that you can find everything in one place to put on CD or zip disk or diskette. Also at the bottom of this window are several check boxes that by default are unchecked. There are two that need to be checked for us to successfully use your publication file; "Copy fonts" and "Update Publication Links" both need to be checked. Once you have checked those boxes, you can click the Save button and the program will copy the publication file, all graphics files to the location you selected and create a sub-folder call "Fonts" where it will copy all the fonts used.
3. Copy the publication file, graphics files and font files to a CD, zip disk (100 MB only), or diskette. Label that media with your name, telephone number, and any other information that you want us to have and bring it to Quality Quickprint for output.

Following these instructions should get us what we need to print this file. Be aware that there are other issues involved with graphics and fonts that may change the output from what you expect. Once we have examined your file we will discuss those issues with you. Thank you.
