Automated Preflight Software for Print
Catch file errors before they hit the press. Preflight automatically checks artwork for resolution, color space, bleed, fonts, transparency: then flags issues or fixes them automatically. Zero wasted prints.
Catching Artwork Errors at the Press Costs You the Full Print Run, Every Time.
Manual, Reactive File Checking
- Files checked manually by a prepress operator: takes time, misses things, and depends on who's on shift.
- Errors caught only after the substrate is loaded and the press is running. The whole run is wasted.
- Customers notified by email with vague error descriptions. Resubmissions take days of back-and-forth.
- No auto-fix rules: every RGB file, every missing bleed, every embedded font issue needs a human to fix it.
- Reprint rates and artwork rejection rates not tracked: the true cost of preflight errors is invisible.
Automated, Zero-Touch File Checking
- Every uploaded file checked automatically against your preflight profile: resolution, bleed, color space, fonts, and transparency.
- Common issues fixed automatically by your auto-fix rules: RGB to CMYK, transparency flattening, font embedding, bleed addition.
- Customers receive a clear, structured error notification immediately: specific issue, specific fix, no ambiguity.
- Files that pass preflight route to production automatically. No prepress operator needs to approve them manually.
- Reprint rates and rejection rates tracked per product type and per customer in your analytics dashboard.

Print Businesses Running on Automated Preflight
“"Our prepress team was spending four hours a day checking files that should have been checked when customers uploaded them. Now preflight runs automatically at upload. We catch 90% of issues before a human ever sees the file. The team uses that time on jobs that actually need expert attention."”
“"We had a reprint rate of about 6% caused by artwork issues that got through to press. After running automated preflight for three months, that's down to under 0.5%. The material savings alone covered the cost of the whole Print MIS/ERP implementation."”
