Check Print Files Before Production
Catch DPI, bleed, color, and font problems before a job reaches production.
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. 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.

Questions & answers
Does preflight fix my file automatically?
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.
What does it check for?
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.
What do I get by registering?
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.
