Before it prints

See how the file prints before you pay to press it.

Upload artwork to the studio and the pre-flight analysis runs on it immediately — resolution, adhesion across six fabrics, hand feel, and colour shift. Fix what needs fixing in the same window. Then order, with a report you can hand to your customer.

Runs on every file. No order required to see the analysis.
Why it exists

Most artwork problems are only visible after the press opens.

A file looks clean on a monitor. It comes off the platen with soft edges, a green that went olive, or a solid fill that feels like a plastic plate. By then the film is printed, the garment is used, and the conversation with your customer is about who pays for it.

Pre-flight moves that conversation to before the order. Same file, same analysis, nothing consumed.

Where it happens

In the studio, on your canvas, while you're still sizing the design.

The analysis isn't a report we email you later. It sits under the canvas where you upload and place the artwork, with a plain verdict across the top.

Scores follow the size.

Drag the design bigger against the ruler and adhesion, hand feel, and DPI all recalculate. A design that scores clean at 4" is not the same design at 11".

Overlays show you where.

Colour risk, ink density, and adhesion each have an overlay that paints the finding onto the artwork itself, so a score becomes a place on the design you can look at.

Set the canvas to the garment.

Switch the background to light, dark, or the blank's actual colour before you judge how the artwork reads.

Fixing it

The tools that fix what the analysis found are in the same window.

A finding you have to take back to Illustrator is a finding that costs you an hour. These sit beside the canvas, applied to the file that's already uploaded.

Up-res image

Adds the pixel detail needed to print cleanly at your size. Free, and it doesn't alter the artwork.

Remove background

Strips the background a customer's export left behind, before it prints as a rectangle.

Colour knockout

Drops a specific colour out of the file — the usual fix for a white box or a stray fill.

Halftone

Converts solid coverage to a dot pattern. The direct answer to a stiff hand-feel score.

Vectorize

Rebuilds the art as clean edges when resolution can't be recovered by upscaling alone.

Fixes we can make, we make.

Nothing goes back to your customer for a re-export if we can carry it ourselves. Where a file genuinely can't hold the size, the report says so, says why, and rates the impact.

What you do with it

A document that shows the work behind your artwork fee.

Charging for artwork review is hard when the review is invisible. The customer hands over a logo, gets a shirt back, and can't see what happened in between. The line item looks like padding.

The report is that work, on paper, with their file name and the date on it. Forward it as-is or put it under your own cover. It shows what was inspected, what was corrected, and what was flagged — before anything printed.

For the quote

Attach it to the estimate. The artwork fee stops being a fee and starts being a deliverable the customer can read.

For the objection

When a colour or a fabric choice gets questioned after the fact, the measurement was taken before the order — not reconstructed after it.

For the file that isn't ready

A named maximum print size in inches ends the argument about how big the logo can go.

For the fabric call

Six adhesion scores let you tell a customer which garments this design is safe on before they pick the blank.

What it is not

Analysis and simulation. Not a guarantee.

The report is generated from automated file inspection, colour conversion, and coverage analysis. The scores and recommendations are estimates. Actual results also depend on the garment, the ink, and your press conditions — variables no file analysis can see from here.

We say that on the report itself, and we'd rather say it here too. A number you can trust is worth more than a number that promises too much.

Run a file

Send us a design you've already printed somewhere else.

Pick one you've run before — ideally one that gave you trouble. Upload it to the studio, watch the analysis run, and read the report. Compare it to what you got the first time, then decide whether the order follows.
