What Preflight.art Is
Preflight.art is a cloud-based software tool that analyzes packaging and label artwork files (PDF, .ai, .eps) for common prepress issues including dieline detection, bleed, spot colors, fonts, image resolution, ink coverage, and barcodes.
Analysis is performed using a combination of rule-based checks and AI-assisted interpretation. Results are delivered as a prioritized report with plain-language fix instructions.
Advisory Nature of Reports — Important
All preflight reports generated by Preflight.art are advisory only. They are intended to assist your review process, not replace it.
- Reports may contain errors, omissions, or incorrect readings.
- AI-assisted analysis can and does make mistakes — especially on non-standard file structures, unusual encoding, or edge-case packaging formats.
- You must verify all findings with your print provider, prepress team, or a qualified technician before sending any file to press.
- A PASS verdict does not guarantee a file is print-ready. A FAIL verdict does not guarantee a file cannot be printed.
Your Account and Data
When you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure. You may not share account access with others outside your organization.
Files you upload for analysis are processed on our servers and deleted after report generation. We do not store your artwork files long-term or share them with third parties.
Report data (findings, scores, metadata) may be retained to improve the accuracy of the analysis engine. No personally identifiable customer artwork is used for training purposes without explicit consent.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use Preflight.art only for lawful purposes. You may not:
- Upload files containing malware, unlawful content, or content that infringes on third-party intellectual property
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the analysis engine
- Resell or redistribute report output as your own product or service without written permission
- Share login credentials to circumvent per-seat pricing
Subscription and Billing
Paid subscriptions are billed monthly. You may cancel at any time — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial months.
Free trial runs are limited in quantity per account. Trial access is for evaluation of real production files and may not be used to run automated bulk analysis.
We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice to active subscribers.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Preflight.art and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to print production costs, reprints, lost profits, or business interruption — arising from your use of or reliance on this service.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these terms or the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We'll notify active subscribers by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
