Copresco's computer bulletin board, once the
workhorse for electronic print files transmission, has been completely
replaced with an updated FTP site.
"Like the 14.4 bps modem, the bulletin board was state-of-the-art
technology when we announced the service in 1995," says company president Steve Johnson. "For the last several
years, we have offered customers an easy-to-use web interface with our
FTP site. It provides a much faster, more convenient way of sending PC
and Macintosh digital files for printing. And, proprietary software is
not required."
The FTP site is anonymous so it can be accessed without an entry
password. "However," Johnson says, "no one can download or even view
any of the contents of files on the site." A secure site with an
exclusive customer password can also be established on request.
Copresco does not recommend e-mail files transmission for print files
due to encoding problems, limitations on file sizes and differences in
e-mail programs, version numbers and computer platforms. "Also, e-mail
is not a real time medium," Johnson says. "Therefore, files are often
delayed in transmission. FTP provides real time transmission. What is
being sent, is what is being received."
Copresco's FTP site was created in 1998 and updated this year to
provide easier customer access and drag and drop files capability. The
site is linked to Copresco's website at www.copresco.com. After accessing
the FTP site through a "Send Us A Job" link, customers can upload their
documents from the File menu or simply drag the files to the window.
Copresco specializes in digital on-demand printing of publications,
books and manuals for clients in the general business, printing trade,
technical and institutional fields. The company is headquartered in
Carol Stream, Ill.
