DirectFTP Orders will be given the highest priority and will be processed the quickest. How It Works:
|
Ordering Made EasyTR Trades’ online order system, DirectFTP, is the most efficient way to send instructions and files for printing. DirectFTP was developed as an easy to use online ordering system that allows clients to log in and submit an order from any computer with an Internet connection. It has replaced email orders and old Repro Desk technology. TR Trades’ DirectFTP form is easy to complete with convenient drop down menus for paper selection, size, format, delivery options, etc. Uploading files is as easy as clicking the browse button at the bottom of the page and selecting the files to upload from your computer. No file is too big! Once our system has received an order the sender will automatically receive a copy of the order form with a confirmation number for tracking or reprinting purposes. This gives the sender the opportunity to verify that no errors were made while placing the order and confirms the order has been received by TR Trades production team. |

CAD & eProject Manager
When you meet Bruce you automatically know he is a seasoned professional in the reprographics industry. Starting out as a driver for Hughes Owens Printing in 1978, he eventually transitioned to Trimen Blueprinting where he acted as a reprographics technician for 13 years. With the onset of the digital era in 2000, TR Trades hired Bruce as CAD Manager. Since then he has been an invaluable asset to the company and anyone who has questions regarding CAD plotting. When Bruce is not overseeing others in the CAD department, he spends countless hours troubleshooting client issues, unearthing customer print errors, and providing eProject software support. He is regularly looked to for printing advice by both coworkers and clients.
Bruce is also well versed in troubleshooting onsite issues and participating in client presentations, having assisted Carla and TR sales staff in many client meetings. If you’re looking for a history lesson on the print industry or if you want to optimize your drawings for print, you’ll want to call on Bruce. Many may not know, but Bruce is a musician at heart! He originally studied engineering and math, eventually realizing it was not the career path he wished to pursue. Following this, Bruce went on to complete both a music program and a piano technician program through Douglas College. During his spare time, you’ll find him creating music or acting as a vocalist in several bands. When he is not playing the guitar and recording music, you can find Bruce tinkering around on one of his computers or watching hockey.
