We accept the following types of digital files:
- Microsoft Office: Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Excel, and Project.
- Adobe Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign files.
All files must be print-ready and saved as either a PDF or JPEG.
The fastest way to send us your file(s) is by bringing a USB stick to us in person at the shop.
We also accept files via email, but saving them on a device beforehand speeds up the process.
All digital files should be sent ahead of time to TPS@ntu.ac.uk.
Alternatively, NTU students can submit files for printing to our online service studentprintshop.ntu.ac.uk (24-hour service).
To prevent issues where text, images or formatting shift, we recommend saving your files both in their original format and as a PDF.
Adobe files must be saved as a PDF or JPEG before printing because full-size design files take longer to process.
