The file looks fine on screen. That is the whole problem.
Print has requirements a screen never shows you. You find out about them from a printer’s rejection email, two days later, written in a vocabulary nobody taught you.
Without a check
- Export the PDF and send it
- The printer rejects it
- Decode the technical feedback
- Fix, export again, resend
- Lose two days, sometimes a print run
With PrintReady Check
- Upload the PDF once
- See exactly what is wrong
- Fix it in your design app
- Send with confidence
Minutes, not days. And you learn what the terms mean while you are at it.
What we check
Every item is measured from the file with real PDF tooling. Nothing is inferred from the filename, and no language model decides any technical property.
- Checked automatically
- Everything in this list.
- Depends on your printer
- Required bleed, colour profile, minimum resolution — you tell us, we measure against it.
- Cannot be guaranteed digitally
- Physical colour, ink coverage, dot gain, trapping. We say so rather than pretend.
Bleed
Trim and bleed boxes, and whether artwork really extends into the bleed
Page dimensions
Every page against the finished size you chose
Image resolution
Effective DPI at the size each image is placed, not its raw pixel count
Embedded fonts
Fonts used for visible text, embedded or missing, full or subset
RGB and CMYK content
Colour spaces, spot colours and output intent
Safe margins
Live text measured against the cut line
Transparency
Transparency groups, soft masks, blend modes and overprint
Thin lines
Hairline strokes that can break up on press
PDF structure
Encryption, damage and structural validity
How it works
Upload your PDF
Drag it in. It goes straight into private storage through a signed link, and is never made public.
We inspect the technical details
Page boxes, bleed, image resolution, fonts, colour spaces, transparency and safe margins — measured, with a confidence level on each.
Fix the issues before printing
Each finding says what we measured, why it matters, and the exact steps in Canva, Illustrator, InDesign or Acrobat.
What a report looks like
A readiness score, the problems ordered by how likely they are to cause a reprint, and the page areas they affect. Every finding expands into what we measured, why it matters, how confident we are, and how to fix it.
The panel here uses fixed sample data so you can see the layout. Upload a file and every number comes from your document.

Questions
Page size against your finished format, trim and bleed boxes, whether artwork actually reaches into the bleed, image resolution at the size each image is placed, embedded and missing fonts, colour spaces including RGB, CMYK and spot colours, output intent, transparency and overprint, text sitting too close to the cut, and hairline strokes. Everything is measured from the file itself.
