The credit card set up in my Payment Profile does not have enough credit left to clear my invoice. What will Technicare do?

We strongly recommend you ensure the card entered in your Payment Profile has enough credit available to transact your ongoing invoices with us. Using Bambora’s secured portal to transact payment on your behalf is not a free service to Technicare. All transactions, whether approved or declined come at a price; it is a cost of doing business in today’s environment. Unfortunately, we can not absorb this cost when transactions are declined and as such a $1.00 charge may be applied when transactions are declined by your card provider. Of course, our customer service personnel will contact you should a card transaction be declined.

You must ensure the card entered in your Payment Profile has enough available credit to transact your ongoing invoices. Using a secured portal to transact payments is not a free service to Technicare. All transactions, whether approved come at a price; it is a cost of doing business in today’s environment. Unfortunately, we cannot absorb this cost when transactions are declined. A $1.00 charge will be added to open work orders when transactions are declined by your card provider. We will do our best to contact you should there be a problem but this will ultimately delay orders being shipped and could cause temporary suspension of your account.

Colour Space

Files can have any profile you wish embedded – sRGB, Adobe98, Prophoto. Please note is that files using a profile other than sRGB will not preview correctly in ROES. But this only the preview, your files will print as you see them in Photoshop.

File Sizing

300 dpi (dots per inch) is the maximum our printers can output at. For larger orders of smaller prints it’s recommended that clients reduce the size of their files to 300 dpi at size. This will help reduce uploading times and prevent corrupt orders.

As an example if you were ordering 4×6 prints the largest file size we’d need would be 1200 x 1800 pixels (4 inches @ 300dpi = 1200 pixels & 6 inches @ 300 dpi = 1800 pixels).

To reduce the size of a large amount of images at once try using the “Image Processors” in Photoshop. It can be found in File-Scripts-Image Processor. This tool will allow you to select a folder of images and quickly resize them to any dimensions you wish.

ROES has opened all my folders. How do I close them all at once?

To clear all folders in the thumbnails pane, hold the ALT key (OPT on Mac) and click the X on the left-most folder to close all at once.

You may want to un-check the box for Search Enclosed Folders in the Home pane under Preferences to help prevent this in the future.

Can you print custom sizes?

For most products we can indeed print custom sizes. To order a custom size choose the next size up that would fit the size you need. Include a note in your special instructions requesting that custom size and we’ll make the necessary adjustments before printing.

File requirements for ROES order submission
  • File and Folders names must not contain characters other than letters, numbers and underscores. Avoid the use of characters such as… ” ^ & * = | < > ? ( ) ‘ ~ [ ]
  • File names must be less than 31 characters long. Spaces are considered characters. Long file names will be truncated, and can result in the incorrect printing of images. 
  • Files must be in 8bit, RGB, Jpeg format. Files in CMYK or Indexed color must be converted to RGB before using ROES.
  • When saving Jpegs in Photoshop use “Baseline Standard”. Avoid using “Progressive”. 
  • Files can be tagged with any major colour profile. ie sRGB, ProPhoto and Adobe98.
  • Max output is 300dpi. Files with resolution over 300dpi can be sent, but there’s no advantage to this and will only result in longer upload times. 
  • For engraved products we’re looking for vector graphics in file formats: .eps, .ai, .psd, .pdf only.
The colour of my images in ROES looks different than what I see in Photoshop.

ROES won’t preview images with profiles other than sRGB correctly. Meaning if your image are tagged with Adobe98 or ProPhoto they will not preview accurately in ROES. But this will not affect the final print, just the preview during ordering. Effectively trust the colours you see in Photoshop over what you see in the ROES application.

Error Message – Packing your order failed due to… (The system cannot find the file specified)

If you’re getting an error message stating “Error Message – Packing our order failed due to… (The system cannot find the file specified)” it means that your images have been moved from the location you originally had them at when you first started placing the order. ROES can now not find the images to complete the order.

The fix is to put your images back to exactly where they were when you first started placing the order. Doing so will make this error message go away.
