Artwork arrives
The order, file and customer context enter the existing workflow.
AI employees for print shops
Stop turning every bad artwork file into another email thread.
Your preflight system can tell you what failed. The AI employee handles the repetitive loop around it: explain the issue, ask for the corrected file or approval, answer routine print questions, remember the job state and send ambiguity to prepress.
The first job
Automate the exception loop, not the production truth.
PitStop, Switch, your MIS/RIP, artwork rules or another deterministic check should stay authoritative. The AI employee sits around those systems and handles the repetitive customer coordination they do not.
Preflight decides
Your deterministic system identifies what passes, fails or needs attention.
AI handles the loop
It explains the issue, asks for the corrected file or approval and answers approved routine questions.
Production gets a clean handoff
Resolved jobs move forward with state intact; ambiguity goes to a person.
Do not replace what already works
An AI employee should not pretend to be prepress.
No invented pass/fail. Deterministic preflight and production systems remain the truth layer.
No silent artwork damage. Destructive or unsupported edits require an approved rule or a person.
No invented turnaround. The AI only states availability the live workflow actually supports.
No automatic legal judgment. Copyright, licensing and unusual commercial decisions escalate.
Where it earns its place
The repetitive work between customer artwork and production.
Start with one high-frequency exception loop. Add more only after the first one proves useful.
01
Explain failed preflight
Turn deterministic findings into clear customer actions.
02Chase corrected artwork
Remember what is missing and stop restarting the same conversation.
03Keep proof approval moving
Record the version, approval and change request against the job.
04Resolve stuck orders
Give missing files, specs and approvals a clear next action.
05Answer repetitive print questions
Handle approved artwork, product and turnaround questions without guessing.
06Hand clean state to production
Carry what changed and what was approved into the existing workflow.
Test it on your shop
Give us your artwork guide and make the demo fail.
We’ll build the demo around your public products, artwork requirements and ordering rules. Then put it through the situations your staff actually deal with.
Use a normal order
See whether it handles the routine artwork and customer path cleanly.
Give it a broken file
Test how it explains a deterministic preflight failure without inventing the result.
Ask an awkward question
Push beyond the approved rules and see whether it knows when to stop.
Then decide
If it removes real repetitive work, we can connect it to the workflow you already use.
Who we are starting with
Owner-led UK print shops with lots of customer-supplied artwork.
The strongest fit is a small or mid-size printer where artwork arrives by upload or email, customers regularly need file help or proofing, and the owner, prepress or production team still spends time moving exceptions forward manually.
Digital, large-format, signage, DTF/DTG, UV and other custom print with repeated artwork intake.
Public artwork requirements, file specifications or proofing guidance.
Rush or same-day work where stalled files create real production pressure.
An existing MIS, preflight, RIP or workflow we can adapt around rather than replace.
Build your demo
We’ll build it around your real workflow.
Send us your website or workflow guide and tell us where the repetitive work gets stuck. If you’re a print shop, an artwork guide, upload flow or product page is ideal. We’ll use the real rules to shape a demo you can test yourself.
