Bleed
Flagged only where color or images reach the trim edge, so white-margin designs aren't sent back for nothing.
For print shops
Fewer bad files in your inbox.
Put the PrintPress check on your website. Your customers check their PDF against your file requirements before they send it.
This is the real check, using standard print rules. On your site it uses your requirements.
Try it the way your customers would.
Drop any PDF. In a few seconds you see what a customer sees: what's wrong, on which page, and how to fix it in their design tool.
Installation takes less than 5 minutes: one line of code on your page.
For your web developer
<script src="https://printpress.app/embed.js" data-printer="your-shop-code" async></script>Example. You receive the code for your shop.
How it works
Send me your file requirements
Your spec sheet or the requirements page on your site. I turn bleed, color, resolution and page rules into checks.
Paste one line on your site
On your upload or file-requirements page. It works anywhere you can add an embed code: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or plain HTML.
Customers fix files before sending
They get a plain-language result with fix steps for InDesign, Illustrator, Figma and Canva. No account, no email needed.
You see what it caught
How many files were checked, how many had problems, and which problems come up most.
The problems you usually fix by hand.
Color space
RGB or mixed files, before they print dull.
Image resolution
Low-resolution images, with the pages they're on.
Fonts
Fonts that weren't embedded and would be swapped at the press.
Size and pages
Trim size and page count, including multiples of 4 for stapled booklets.
Your own rules
Your bleed size, minimum DPI, crop-mark policy and color profile.
Free 60-day pilot.
I'm looking for a few print shops to try it first. I set up your requirements, you paste the code, and after 60 days you get a report of what it caught. Then you decide if it's worth keeping.

Email me about the pilot- What does it cost?
- Nothing during the 60-day pilot. Before it ends, we agree on a monthly fee, or you take it off your site. Nothing is billed without your yes.
- Do the files come to me?
- No. The check runs on PrintPress. Customers still send you their files the way they do now, only in better shape.
- Who can see the files?
- Only the customer who uploaded them, through a private link. They aren't shared with anyone and aren't used to train AI.
- Will it slow down my site?
- No. The check loads after your page, in its own frame, and doesn't add cookies or tracking to your site.
- Does it replace my prepress check?
- No. It catches the common file problems before they reach you, so your own check has less to fix.
