File transfer protocol (FTP), is the quickest, most cost-efficient way to send us your digital files.

Part 1: File Compression
To shorten the transmission time, compress your file(s) into a .zip format (Windows) or .sit format (Macintosh). Multiple files can be compressed into one. Then transmit just the compressed file to our FTP server. Remember to add all the required fonts and images files that are used in your document to the compressed file.
