Sending Files to Marcus Printing

For a fast turnaround of your print order we recommend sending the files via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). You may also transfer files by e-mail or HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).

FTP is another way to send computer files over the Internet. Files will not be altered in any way by being transfered via FTP. It is the standard protocol for transfering files and is much more reliable than Email. Any file size can be transfered from our customer's computer to our FTP computer, unlike the the 5mb limit for Email.

Using an FTP Client

In order to send us files via FTP, you will need an FTP program, or client, on your computer. Two popular programs on the Mac are "Fetch" and "Transmit" and on the PC side "WS_FTP".
