Transfer Files

There are three ways to send your files to us.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the preferred method to send digital files from your compter to The Blueprint Shoppe. FTP is the language that computers use to transfer files over the internet directly, without size limitations or intervention from your internet service provider.

You can connect to our FTP site using one of the many FTP products available on the web such as FTP Explorer or WS_FTP for PC or Fetch for Mac.

To obtain your private account on our FTP server, please call us at 773-545-0308. This system will protect the security of your work.

Please send a detailed order via email and notify us by phone when sending files through our FTP site so that we may confirm reception.

Our EFS component allows you to quickly and easily transmit a large amount of files to us. Simply go to our planroom and click on the "Send us Files" link in the left hand menu.  You can actually save the EFS tool to your desktop by clicking the “run this setup file for a desktop shortcut” link at the bottom of the window.  That way, you won’t have to go to our website to get to the file transfer, just open the shortcut on your desktop, and it automatically pops up.

(Note: Internet Explorer 6 or higher is required. If necessary, your login can also be enabled to work for accessing our ftp.)

For more details, installation and training please contact The Blueprint Shoppe at 773-545-0308.

If FTP or Repro Desk is not an option, please e-mail your files to at info@blueprintshoppe.com. This is a quick and easy method of sending files.

The files must be under 20 MB after compression (use StuffIt or WinZip) to archive files into one compressed folder. This will help to ensure that we get all of your files intact and it will also reduce your uploading time.

Please call after transmitting your files to confirm reception of files and instruction.
