Postscript Files

By following a few simple guidelines, your own graphic designs can be sent from your desktop to our production site and delivered back to your door in a matter of hours. Creating a postscript file is the most accurate way to save digital information and will ensure that what you've sent is what you'll get. You'll save money and have complete control over your design--no need to worry about including fonts or artwork on a disk!
Read our Guide to Creating Postscript Files for quick and EASY instructions on how to create and download postscript files. A customer representative will call you when we receive your files to apprise you of costs, and any potential problems hiding in your file. We ask that our clients provide us with a hard copy sample of the desired output. This helps eliminate a lot of output questions.

We encourage you to download a printer driver in order to comprise postscript files. These files will make providing you accurate output much easier. Installation of these drivers is quick and easy, and full instructions are included

To send your PostScript and other files to Renaissance click here for easy (FTP) File Transfer Protocol instructions or upload through your browser.
