Send AssetLint an image and get an instant pass/fail on whether it's print-ready — resolution, colour space, ink coverage, ICC profile — with a plain-English reason for every check. No more files that only fail once they're on the press.
If you send artwork to print, you know these. Each one is a reprint, a delay, or an awkward call with the client — and each is invisible until it's expensive.
Looked fine on screen; prints soft and pixelated at the real output size.
Colours shift on the press because the file was never converted for print.
The press can't reproduce colour predictably without the intended profile embedded.
Total ink over the stock's limit — smudging, set-off, and drying problems.
Artwork stops at the trim line; trimming leaves white slivers on the edge.
Type reflows or substitutes on the RIP because the fonts didn't travel with the file.
One call. A structured verdict you can show a client or wire into your own pipeline.
Upload an image (or POST it to the API) with the output size you're printing at.
Print-readiness checks evaluate the file against real preflight thresholds.
Every check returns a status and a plain-English explanation of what to fix.
This is an actual response from the live engine — a 1024 px photo sent to print at 6×4 inches. Notice it doesn't just say "fail"; it tells you why.
The image checks above are live today. PDF-level preflight — the things that need the page geometry and embedded resources — is rolling out to early-access users next:
Printing PDFs and want these? Mention it when you request access — beta slots go to real print files first.
Tell us where to send it and what you print. We're onboarding print shops, studios, and agencies one conversation at a time — so we build the checks against your real files.
