SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Vague print rejections like "file not suitable" lead customers to submit another bad file. This Skill checks artwork against press requirements and produces a rejection report that states the number found, the number needed, and the exact fix. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ordered preflight checks: Verifies effective DPI at final size, colour mode and profile, bleed and safe area in millimetres, font outlining or embedding, transparency and overprint, and dimensions against the ordered product. - Actionable rejection reports: Every failure is reported as number found, number needed, and the fix, for example requiring 300 dpi at 40 × 50 cm when the supplied file is 96 dpi. - Judgement-call handling: Files between the reject and warning thresholds are offered to the customer with the trade-off stated, while hard failures are never approved under time pressure. - Use Case: A print shop receives a 1512 × 1890 px file for a 40 × 50 cm poster order. The Skill reports the effective 96 dpi, the required 4724 × 5906 px minimum, and suggests a vector file instead. ## Quick Start Validate the attached artwork file against the press requirements for a 40 × 50 cm poster and tell me exactly what to fix.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if an artwork file is print-ready?▼

Check resolution at final size first, then colour mode and profile, bleed and safe area, fonts, transparency and overprint, and dimensions against the ordered product. Report the effective DPI rather than the raw pixel count.

What resolution is required for printing a 40 × 50 cm poster?▼

A 40 × 50 cm print at 300 dpi requires at least 4724 × 5906 px. A file supplied at 1512 × 1890 px yields only 96 dpi at that size, so a higher-resolution raster or a vector file is needed.

How should a print file rejection be communicated to customers?▼

State the number found, the number needed, and the exact fix in every rejection. Vague messages like "file not suitable" produce another bad file, while specific targets let the customer correct the artwork directly.

Can a file below the required DPI still be printed?▼

Files between the reject threshold and the warning threshold can be offered to the customer with the trade-off stated, such as fine detail softening. Files that fail a hard requirement must never be approved or silently rescaled.

Why must fonts be outlined or embedded in print files?▼

Fonts that are not outlined or embedded can be substituted or missing at the press, changing the printed output. The preflight check flags unembedded fonts so the customer can convert text to outlines before submission.
