Web Based FTP (BETA)
Our web based FTP client is still in BETA. This means there are still bugs in it,
and therefore it might not be compatible with some web browsers.
The following browsers are known to be compatible with WPC Web Based FTP.
Crazy Browser 1.0 (Windows), Internet Explorer 6 or below (Windows),
Safari 1.3 or below (Mac) are known to have display and functional problems.
Safari 2.0 or above on OSX 10.4 has not been tested yet.

Setting up a FTP account
Please call us at 206-545-4521 during our business hours to set up your FTP account.
We will need your name, address, phone number, UBI number (resale number) if applicable, email address,
login name and password of your choice.
Usually, your FTP account will be set up immediately.
****************************************
Best Way To Organize
The easiest way for you to organize your photos is to put them into seperate folders.
You can name the folders by size, finish, quantity, and special instructions,
for examples: "4x6Matte1each","5x7GlossyWhiteBorders1each","WalletsMatte2pairsEach"
,"4x6MatteSloppyBorders5each", etc.
This way, we know exactly which image needs what kind of prints.
It is ok to put the same image in different folders.
Another way is to give us a list of which image needs what kinds of print.
A text file would work fine for that.

****************************************
Things to Remember
-
Try to leave NO SPACE in the file name or the folder name.
If you have to seperate the words, use underscore " _ " instead.
Also, always start a file and folder name with a letter or number.
-
We can print from JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PSD, and BMP. Make sure that the file is 8bits/channel.
We cannot print from file that is 16bits/channel yet.
-
The DPI (dot per inch) of your image is not important.
What's important is the image dimension in pixel.
Please refer to the Digital Services page for more information.
-
sRGB color space file can get a better match on print than Adobe RGB 1998.
-
We correct all color, density and contrast to our best judgement by default;
if you do not want any or part of the corrections to be done, please let us know when you place the order.
-
If you need assistance, please call 206-545-4521 during normal business hours. :)
