● Artwork & Approvals
Art that checks itself. Approvals that gate the press.
Artwork is validated against the quoted spec automatically — colors, dielines, specialty layers. Customers approve with one click, and the job doesn’t release to production until they do.
Art checked against the quoted spec · One-click customer approvals · No portal accounts, no passwords
Approval is a production state.
Not an email thread.
The customer approved v3 and the press ran v2 — every shop has that story. PrintStack makes it structurally impossible: the approval lives on the job, and production waits for it.
Art vs. spec
Artwork that checks itself against the quote
The file, the estimate, and the production route stay in agreement — automatically, on upload.
Separations vs. the quote
Every separation is checked against the quoted colors and the target press’s capability — a fifth color that was never quoted surfaces before it prints, not after.
Dielines vs. the tooling
The dieline in the file validates against the die assigned on the estimate, so art and tooling agree before the job is released — not on the converting line.
Nothing unpriced slips through
A specialty layer sitting in the file but missing from the quote — white, foil, varnish — gets flagged while it’s still a pricing conversation, not a surprise on the invoice.
The art refines the price
Measured ink coverage from the real file replaces the assumed coverage in the estimate — so the price reflects the actual art before the job runs, not after it loses money.
Approvals
One click for them. A production gate for you.
No customer accounts. No password resets. An approval that lives on the job and holds production until it’s given.
✓
One-click customer approval
Customers review and approve from a secure link — no portal account to create, no password to reset, nothing to install.
✓
Approval gates production
A job can’t release against unapproved art. When the real world demands an exception, the override is deliberate — and logged.
✓
Every decision on record
Who approved which version, and when — the trail lives on the job, ready the day a customer asks what happened.
✓
Quote to order in one flow
A guided wizard turns the approved quote into the order — quantity per SKU, costs allocated, vendor POs drafted for outside work — and a resumable draft means a ringing phone never loses the work.
Watch a job gate itself, end to end.
