PrintPreflight

PrintPreflight is a web + desktop helper that automatically checks artwork files before they go to print. Designers and small print shops constantly lose time and money to avoidable issues: wrong bleed, missing fonts, low-resolution images, incorrect color profiles, overprint problems, and spot-color naming chaos. Users upload a PDF/AI/EPS (or drag a folder from the desktop companion), select a print spec preset (stickers, packaging, apparel, posters), and get a clear pass/fail report with exact page/object-level findings and fixes. It also generates a “printer-ready” package: flattened PDF/X export, embedded fonts, linked assets collected, and a spec sheet you can send to clients or vendors. This is not a creative tool; it’s a boring reliability tool that reduces reprints, refunds, and embarrassing back-and-forth. The MVP focuses on the 20% of checks that cause 80% of real-world print failures.
