It's
easy to send files to ACME. You can send us files by email if
they are six (6) megabytes or less at: acmeprinting@bellsouth.net
For files that exceed
six (6) megabytes, we have an FTP server to upload your files.
If you do not have an FTP client, there are several that are available
for download on the internet. Keep in mind you will need to download
the correct one for your operating system, Macintosh or PC. Once
you have installed your FTP client, there are three (3) pieces
of information you need to connect to the ACME FTP server. After
you have uploaded your files, please send us an email.

BE SURE TO INCLUDE ANY FONTS AND IMPORTED GRAPHICS (.EPS, .TIF,
ETC) ALONG WITH THE FILES YOU SUBMIT.
2. IF THE DOCUMENT WAS MADE IN ANY OTHER PROGRAM,
WE NEED A PDF FILE. PDF’S SHOULD BE MADE THE CORRECT SIZE
AND ALL FONTS NEED TO BE EMBEDDED.

GRAYSCALE OR COLOR IMAGE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 300 PIXELS PER INCH
AT 100%, ANY BITMAP images SHOULD BE 1200 PIXELS PER INCH AT 100%.
REMEMBER: PIXEL BASED IMAGES LOSE RESOLUTION WHEN THEIR SIZE IS
INCREASED.

EDGE AT LEAST 1/8”. BE SURE TO INCLUDE CROP MARKS.
5. MAKE SURE ANY COLORS YOU USE ARE PROPERLY
SET UP FOR SEPARATIONS, IE: IF YOU ARE USING SPOT COLORS, THEY
SHOULD BE NAMED FOR THE PANTONE COLORS THEY REPRESENT, OR IF USING
FOUR COLOR PROCESS, ALL COLORS SHOULD BE CONVERTED TO CMYK (NOT
RGB). PRINT SEPARATIONS AND CHECK PRINTOUTS BEFORE SENDING YOUR
FILES.
6.
IF E-MAILING FILES, THE MAXIMUM SIZE WE CAN ACCEPT IS SIX MEGABYTES.
YOU CAN STUFF OR ZIP YOUR FILES TO MAKE THE FILE SMALLER AND TO
HELP AVOID CORRUPTION DURING TRANSFER.
IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT LAYOUT, FORMATS, RESOLUTION, FONT USAGE OR ANYTHING
ELSE REGARDING YOUR FILE SET-UP, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ONE
OF YOUR PREPRESS SPECIALISTS TO ASSIST YOU
