About Print Ready Checker

Print Ready Checker is a tool designed to validate and prepare AI-generated artwork for professional printing. Users upload PNG, JPG, or PDF files to receive a plain-language report assessing size, bleed, resolution, color mode, safe zones, and cut lines. The service flags issues such as missing bleed, low DPI, RGB color mode, or content too close to the trim edge. Based on the report, users can either copy a corrected AI prompt for their design tool or request a fully recreated print-ready file. The tool supports common print products like business cards, stickers, banners, posters, and packaging, each with predefined size and bleed rules. It aims to prevent common prepress rejections by catching errors before sending files to the printer. The service does not replace a printer’s proof but reduces the likelihood of costly mistakes or reprints.
