Preparing Files for Print
expresscopy.com makes it just about as easy as it gets to print quality flyers, postcards, business cards, and much more. Before you send us your files, however, there are a few things you need to know to prepare them for printing.
If you have some experience with creating .prn or .pdf files, you may just need to know the specifics of how expresscopy.com needs your files set up. Visit the Quick Start Guide to get a 1-2-3 tutorial.
Most people will need to review at least part of the information in this section before sending us files. It's straightforward and painless, and won't take long at all. And if you're stumped by any of the techno-jargon we need to use, visit our Frequently Asked Questions or Troubleshooting pages for more help.
If you are designing your own postcards or business cards, it is essential that you read our Layout Specifications and Requirements page. We have specifications and sample layouts for Postcards (standard and jumbo sizes) and Business Cards. Any files which do not meet these specs may delay printing, as well as incur additional charges for modifying your file.
