FTP site upload procedures: Horizon Print Solutions prefers to receive large files either via
CD/DVD or electronically via client upload to our FTP site. ISP protocol prohibits and/or otherwise discourages transfer of substantial files via email. For this purpose, an FTP site is a pass code protected internet mail server within the cloud where large files can be placed to be downloaded by our prepress department for entry. If you require access to the FTP secure severe, please ask your Sales Representative. You will be sent a link to your email address to gain access.
