Uploading / Proofing

  1. Once you have located the product you need and made your selections for printing, you will find a continue button at the bottom of the page. When you select this, you will get a window where you can upload your artwork.

    2.  

  2. Select the first “Upload File” button and another window will pop up. You will once again be prompted to “Upload File”. When you select this, you will be able to navigate to where your file is saved and select it to add. Once you have selected your file, the name of the file will appear in the upload area with a progressive percentile showing how much of your file has been uploaded until it is complete. Please be patient, as the larger the file is, the longer it will take for the upload to complete. ** It is imperative if you are uploading working files, that you compress the files together into a .sit or a .zip file. Also an instant proof can ONLY be generated by uploading a .pdf or a .eps file.

If you selected the wrong file, you may simply select the “Upload File” button again and navigate to the correct one. If you have more than one file to upload, simply use the second “Upload File” button to add another file.
