PrintSphere Service (Upload Files)
NOTE: Only with the PrintSphere service.
With the PrintSphere service, you do not have to log in to ProductionCenter to upload files. Your printer has chosen for you to use his PrintSphere file-sharing service so you can easily upload files for jobs to a special folder in the PrintSphere space. The files are then processed automatically by the printer company.

As a Manual PrintSphere user, you can also use the PrintSphere service for other file-sharing and storage activities. Read the PrintSphere Help for more information.
