What it does

File Preflight checks a normalised PDF against the standards a flexo press actually cares about: minimum dot the plate can hold, total area coverage that will dry, bleed that reaches the die, image resolution, dielines set to print and the separation list. The most expensive artwork problems are the boring ones, a 72 dpi logo hiding in a 300 dpi file, a bleed that stops one millimetre short, a spot colour that should have been process, and every one of them is cheaper to catch here than in a set of remade plates. Five minutes of preflight in the browser beats a reprint every single time.
