US YOUR DESKTOP FILE |
MetroGraphix
recommends that all files be sent on CD-ROM, Zip disks or Floppy disks. All disks will be
returned with the final printed piece. We can accept the following types of disks/drives:
- CD-ROM:
This is the most reliable method for supplying desktop files containing large TIFF and EPS
images.
- ZIP DISK:
You may also supply your files on Iomega 100 and 250 MB Zip disks.
- FLOPPY DISKS:
Though CD-ROM and Zip disks are preferred, files may also be sent on 3 1/2 inch floppy
disks. Please send backup disks in case the first are unusable.
- INTERNET:
Due to the large size of most desktop publishing files and their associated graphics,
sending the files via the internet is not recommended. However, you may e-mail smaller
items under 1MB as well as other information.
