Paper Print Artwork Automation with Product-Specific Preflight Checks

Flyers, brochures, business cards and folded print carry strict bleed, resolution and colour rules. FastEditor automates the flow from upload to production-ready file, so every job is checked before it reaches the press.

Print specification enforced. Each product carries its size, bleed and safe-area rules, so artwork is checked against the real print specification rather than a generic threshold.

Resolution and colour validation. Uploads are measured for resolution at the finished size and converted to the colour space the press requires, with low-resolution files flagged before they ship.

Production-ready output. On approval, FastEditor outputs a press-ready file to the printer's specification, so the job goes straight to production without a prepress round.

How it works

From upload to production-ready file

  1. 1Upload

    Logo or photo upload

    Logos are vectorised automatically; photos are quality-checked.

  2. 2Validate

    Checked against the technique

    Size, colour and detail limits validated per product and method.

  3. 3Approve

    Proof approval

    The customer previews the proof and approves what gets produced.

  4. 4Produce

    Production-ready file

    Output in the supplier’s format, resolution and colour profile.

The right file for the press, every time.

Paper print is unforgiving. A missing bleed, an image below resolution or the wrong colour space means a reprint. Each product also has its own size and safe-area rules, and a file that works for one job often fails for another.

FastEditor checks all of this on upload. The artwork is measured against the product's bleed, resolution and colour requirements, and the customer is guided to fix anything that would fail before the order proceeds. The press-ready file is then generated to specification.

  • Bleed and safe area enforced per product
  • Resolution measured at the finished print size
  • Colour converted to the press colour space
  • Low-resolution and out-of-gamut files flagged before production

Every connected print supplier, ready to produce.

Connected print suppliers arrive in the FastEditor Product Hub with their sizes, bleed rules and production specifications already attached to each product, across flyers, brochures, business cards and folded formats.

New suppliers are added continuously, so any paper print product in the catalogue is production-ready from the day it is connected.

  • Sizes and bleed rules built in per product
  • Colour and resolution requirements defined per press
  • Flyers, brochures, cards and folded formats supported

Helloprint supports all three paper print families listed here: flyers, business cards and letterheads. Flyeralarm also supports a selection; availability depends on the product and configuration.

Coming soon: Probo, Showdown Display and Expofit. Product coverage and launch dates will be announced when confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FastEditor check on a paper print upload?

Bleed, safe area, resolution at the finished size and colour space, all measured against the product's real print specification rather than a generic threshold.

What happens if a file is below the required resolution?

The file is flagged and the customer is notified before the order proceeds, so a low-resolution job does not reach the press.

Does FastEditor convert artwork to the press colour space?

Yes. Uploads are converted to the colour space the press requires for the product, so the file matches production rather than a screen preview.

Which file formats are accepted?

PDF, AI, EPS and SVG for vector artwork, and PNG, JPG and TIFF for raster. Files are checked against the product specification on upload.

Do paper print orders produce a press-ready file automatically?

Yes. Once the artwork passes the checks and the customer approves, FastEditor generates a press-ready file to the printer's specification.
