Artwork Analysis

Catch print problems before they print.

Artwork Analysis INPUTS Artwork file Product type Intended finished size Run RESULTS Trim size 6.00 in x 9.00 in Bleed 0.125 in present Resolution 300 dpi met Color space CMYK Preliminary estimate. Confirmed at USPS acceptance.

What it does

Upload artwork and check trim, bleed, safety margins, image resolution, and color space against the product type and finished size you intend to print.

Why it matters

Most prepress delays are the same few problems: missing bleed, live content too close to trim, low-resolution images. Catching them before submission saves a proof cycle.

How to use it

  1. Upload the artwork file
  2. Pick the product type and finished size
  3. Review the checks and the preview
