Built-In Preflight Software That Protects Every Print Job From File to Press

One bad file reaching production can cost you a reprint, a delay, and a frustrated customer. Our built-in preflight software catches every issue before that happens.

Automated Preflight Checks

Scan Every File Automatically Before It Reaches Your Press

Automatically scan design files to detect common print issues like missing fonts, low-resolution images, incorrect color modes (RGB vs. CMYK), and incorrect dimensions. Ensuring that all design files are thoroughly reviewed and optimized for production.
Real-Time Error Notifications

Get Instant Alerts the Moment a File Error Is Detected

Receive instant alerts when any inconsistencies or errors are detected in the design files. Issues like incorrect margins, missing fonts, or improper image placement are flagged immediately, allowing you to address them on the spot.
Multi-Format File Support

Accept Every Major File Format Without Changing Your Workflow

Our software supports an extensive range of file formats, including PDF, JPEG, PNG, EPS, TIFF, and AI files. This flexibility allows you to work with various design software outputs, integrating seamlessly into your existing print shop workflows.
Advanced Color Management

Catch and Correct Color Space Errors Before Production

Automatically detect and correct color discrepancies between design files and the required print specifications. The software manages complex color profiles (ICC profiles) and adjusts color spaces to ensure consistent, accurate color reproduction.
Preflight Reporting

Generate Preflight Reports Your Team Can Act On Instantly

Generate detailed reports outlining any issues detected during the preflight process, including suggested corrections. These reports can be shared with clients or team members, making it easy to communicate any necessary design changes before final production.
Auto Error Correction

Fix Common File Errors Automatically Without Manual Work

In addition to detecting errors, the software automatically corrects common design issues, such as fixing low-resolution images, embedding missing fonts, adjusting incorrect color spaces, and adding necessary bleed or trim marks.
Image Scaling Optimization

Keep Every Image Sharp and Print-Ready at Any Size

Automatically optimize image scaling to retain quality when resizing images for printing. By managing resolution and scaling ratios, the software prevents pixelation or distortion, ensuring that images are sharp and clear.
Bleed and Margin Verification

Verify Every Bleed and Margin Before a Job Goes to Press

Automatically verify that designs include the correct bleed (to prevent white borders after trimming), trim, and safety margins. This feature ensures that critical design elements won’t be cut off during the trimming process.
Customizable Preflight Profiles

Set Up Preflight Profiles for Every Product Type You Print

Set up custom preflight profiles to match your shop’s specific printing needs. Whether you’re printing signage, packaging, or brochures, each profile can be tailored for different print types and formats.
PDF Layer and Transparency Handling

Process Complex Multi-Layer PDFs Without Missing an Element

Accurately process multi-layered PDFs and handle complex transparency settings to avoid missing or misaligned elements during printing. The software ensures that all layers, from background images to design overlays, are intact and properly rendered.
Integration with Workflow Systems

Easily integrate our web to print solution with inbuilt preflight software with your existing print management systems (MIS/ERP), streamlining your entire print production process and ensuring consistent quality checks from file submission to final output.
