subject: Pointers For Proper Online Printing [print this page] Dealing with a printing company online is not the same as dealing with one physically. An online printing company has special benefits, but it will also require you to take special precautions to make sure that your online printing goes on well enough without a hitch. If you plan on hiring an online printing company for your business printing, here are a few simple pointers to consider.
1.Check your files for sending multiple times One of the biggest concerns in online printing is the transfer of data. Lots of things can go wrong when you send your designs digitally over the Internet. That is why in online printing, you should actually check your design files multiple times to make sure that there are no mistakes in your design and there are no errors in the file format itself. I personally recommend checking your documents three times, proofreading and reviewing everything, but you can also try checking the files six or nine times, three instances for two or three different people. In this way, you have a nice redundant system that will never let an error pass through into online printing.
2.See if the printing website is certified It is also important that you check the credibility of the online printing website by checking if it is certified as true. This can be done through several ways. One, you can check the website itself if it does have website certifications that are displayed in its page. Two, you can also refer to those special browser plug-ins that actually check websites in real time if they are true and reliable always. If the online printer you are using is certified in one or both of these techniques, then you should be safe.
3.Use the order forms wisely You should also take care in using the order forms in online printing. Sometimes with the mysteries of the Internet connection and the provider, you might actually accidentally order things two or three more times without knowing. So dont just choose and click in a fast manner. Take time to read each option and choose one with a single click. Of course once you are done, make sure that you click the order button only once, and wait for a response. Double clicking or triple clicking out of impatience can lead to a lot of trouble in online printing.
4.Notes when paying with a credit card Of course, you should also be well aware that using credit cards in online transactions requires some great care. Never just enter your credit card number and its confirmation code once the order page loads. Check to see if you are still on the same domain as the printing website. If you address bar has changed into something different without the name of the printing company, then you might be in a phishing website where people steal credit card numbers. So make sure you check everything carefully before giving away credit card details online.
Great! With these pointers, your online printing should be better and safer. As long as you adhere to these good habits, you should be able to take advantage of the best things that online printing companies have to offer. Good Luck!
