File Transfer Options

Select a method to fit your needs

Because customers have different needs, we have made several file transfer options available.

Short Term Solution
E-mail – we also accept orders in care of orders@precisionblue.com. Please be sure to include all job information in the e-mail, NOT in a separate fax. You must have established credit or fax your credit card authorization to (630) 963-4768.

Best Solutions
Reprodesk – We highly recommend that you download Apprentice, especially if you plan to send files to PBI on a regular basis. Apprentice is an easily learned, yet sophisticated software program that provides the following: Process print-ready files in seconds, not minutes; view drawings before sending; create, name, and store multiple pen settings; transfer compressed files via direct modem or through the Internet; multitasking and drag and drop capabilities; network modem sharing. To access this software from our website, click here.

If you use AOL or a similar product to send files, you may have a problem sending large amounts of data. AOL and certain other ISP’s limit the size of your file transmission. If unsure, contact your ISP. You are best off using a business to business ISP.

To avoid delays, always double-check to make certain we have all the information necessary to process your files. Print-ready files are always best. They are less expensive, decrease our processing time and guarantee that no one has/can alter your image. PLT and HPGL/2 files are examples of print-ready files. If you send .DWG or other native application files, be sure to include scale, page size, pen settings, and fonts.
