Line Thickness Checks

Catch unprintable details before they reach production.

FastEditor validates every uploaded logo against the exact production specs of the chosen product, supplier, and decoration technique. Strokes, fine lines, small text, and details that fall below the minimum reproducible size are flagged automatically, before the file ever reaches your printer.

Spec validation that fits every part of your workflow

Sales managers and account managers see warnings the moment they place a logo. No more producing samples that ship with broken lines or missing details.

In the Logo Editor (Customer-Facing)

Frequently Asked Questions

How does FastEditor know what the minimum line thickness should be?

Each supplier provides production specs per decoration technique. FastEditor stores those specs at the product level and validates every artwork file against them during the upload. Techniques include:
Embroidery, Screen printing, Pad printing, Digital print, Digital transfer, Engraving, Laser engraving, Doming, Sublimation, and UV printing.

Which decoration techniques have different minimum thickness rules?

Embroidery requires the thickest strokes, typically 1.0 mm or more. Engraving and laser engraving sit in the middle. Screen printing, pad printing, and digital print can reproduce finer detail. FastEditor applies the right rule automatically, based on the product, supplier, and technique selected.

What happens when a logo fails the thickness check?

The customer or operator sees a clear warning showing which elements are too thin and what the supplier’s minimum is. They can swap the file, scale the artwork, thicken specific lines, or accept the warning if the workflow allows.

Can customers fix the issue themselves?

Yes. FastEditor surfaces the warning inside the personalization flow with guidance the customer can act on. Most issues resolve with a larger placement or a different file.

Can checks be overridden for specific orders or customers?

Yes. Operators can override flags inside the Logo Editor (BackEnd) when the customer has approved the print risk. Every override is logged for traceability.

Does the check apply only to lines, or also to small text and fine elements?

FastEditor measures every reproducible feature in the artwork. Thin strokes, hairline borders, dot patterns, and small text are all checked against the supplier’s minimum size.

What about color count, file format, and other production limits?

Line thickness is one of several prepress validations FastEditor runs. Color count, color separation, file format, and bleed are validated in parallel. The customer or operator sees one consolidated quality report.

How is the minimum thickness configured per supplier?

Specs come from the supplier integration. Where suppliers do not publish exact values, FastEditor applies industry standard minimums per technique, configurable per workspace.
