We do have software here to read Mac formatted disks if necessary, but it's never as easy and reliable as a properly formatted external drive. This is in fact more relevant a question in recent times than years previous as there's a strong momentum back to PCs from Macs of late! Image Science is a Windows house, because Windows printer drivers and colour management have proven vastly more reliable over the last 15 years than the ever changing Mac system. So the question then becomes - how best to do this? What is the best modern format to use to reliably store and transfer files between systems - whatever operating system they may be running, be it PC, Mac, or Linux? However, we also generate large files here as part of our scanning service, and thanks to the pathetic state of what passes as internet in this country, a lot of people do still use external hard drives and of course USB keys to share files with us. In recent years, most files have begun to arrive electronically and we have a fast and reliable file upload tool you can use to send us files.
At Image Science, we deal with files and storage devices all day every day.
