Large Format Poster Printing-Software Support
We run both PC and Mac workstations, and can print files from the listed programs from either platform. Sending a "For Print" PDF makes things easier in many cases. If sending a native file, send your fonts if they are unusual, as well as the files and all linked .eps and image files. Convert your text to outlines in Illustrator and Freehand, and especially in any linked .eps files. When emailing mac fonts, they need to be stuffed or zipped. It's easiest to enter orders online, if your files are large you can put them on our FTP site. YouSendit can also be used to send us files up to 100 mb.
