Preflight flags likely risks — it does not replace a final human proof or your printer checks. PDFs run in the dashboard.

What this tool does

Print File Preflight is an AI-assisted check that reviews an artwork file for common production problems before it goes to print — low DPI, missing bleed, risky color setup, and font or sizing issues. Use it before sending a job to production or a fulfillment partner, when accepting customer-uploaded artwork, or when standardizing files across a catalog.

What to expect

Preflight flags likely risks and explains them, but it does not fix files automatically and does not replace a final human proof or your printer’s own checks. Treat the report as guidance, confirm against your production specs, then register to run batch preflight and export reports.

Sample output

Example preflight report

Public preview

The public sample shows the kind of structured report operators can expect: production status, file risks, and next actions to verify against their own print specs.

Status

Needs review because estimated DPI is below the selected print target.

Checks

DPI, bleed, color setup, trim size, and font risks are listed as pass, warning, or blocked.

Production step

Sign in to run the real preflight job, save reports, and export batch results.

This is a static public sample, not an AI production result. Full runs, saved results, batch export, and API usage require a Printcart account and available tokens.

Free previews check one file at a time. Create a Printcart account to run preflight across batches, save reports, and share results with your production team.

Questions & answers

Before you run a job

No. It flags likely problems and explains them, but it does not edit your artwork and does not replace a final human proof or your printer’s own checks.

Common production risks such as low resolution (DPI), missing bleed, risky color setup, and font or sizing issues. Treat the report as guidance against your production specs.

A free Printcart account lets you run preflight on batches of files and export the reports so your team can act on them in a real workflow.
