Unprintable Customer Artwork
Print shops and prepress staff repeatedly receive customer-supplied AI, Canva, or low-quality files that are not print-ready, forcing hours of manual repair, reprints, and refunds.
In their words
We have a book to deliver to our publisher by end of August. The deadline is firm.
I'm doing a lot of the artwork prep myself, so having a simple workflow matters more than having every possible design feature.
how do you usually deal with customer-supplied PDFs that come in with things like missing bleed, low-res images, RGB colours, wrong page size, etc.?
we are spending almost as much time on wholesale jobs as we are retail jobs, with print brokers expecting us to set up the artwork and proof it back to them
several times a week we have to explain to customers that AI generated renderings are not anywhere close to being print-ready files
Right now, we do everything manually in Photoshop. It works, but it's time-consuming
I spend most of my day just answering these emails, going back-and-forth like a tennis match, hoping to finally get served a file that can be remotely usable.
99% of the time people submit this incorrectly thinking it pops out perfectly like magic.
As a pre press/in house graphic designer, I am constantly fed AI files to adjust or clean/prep.
they send it to you in a zip file that their program exports with a thousand STL files with numbered names, and you have to open them one by one
No I cannot print your ai slop it has no bleeds!!!! And it's a screenshot!!!
I keep finding missing fonts, clipping masks, live effects, leftover swatches, and paths that look fine in the proof but turn into gaps once I add a contour cut.

Why those fall short
- files still arrive broken, unlinked, RGB, unoutlined; fixes are manual
- files arrive unoutlined and fonts are not supplied
- AI generates each concept independently, ignores substrate and bleed
- AI output doesn't match print templates, margins or PDF sizes
- Canva and AI PDFs are hard to import and fix; invisible layers break automation
