**Avoid Print Disasters: 7 File Errors Your Preflight Software Catches Early**

One misprint can cost time, materials, and customers trust. That’s why using preflight and artwork proofing tools is a no-brainer in any smart web-to-print solution. Here’s what great preflight software helps you catch-before it hits the press.

* **Missing Bleed Areas:** No bleed? That clean might turn into an ugly border. Preflight catches this instantly.

* **Low-Resolution Images:** Blurry prints = disappointed customers. Preflight tools flag images below the optimal DPI.

* **Unembedded Fonts:** Fonts that go missing during output can completely ruin your layout. This tool alerts you before it’s too late.

* **Incorrect Color Profiles:** Using RGB instead of CMYK? Preflight software ensures your files are print-ready with the right color space.

* **Mismatched Page Sizes:** Pages not matching your print specs? Preflight tools detect mismatches so you’re not stuck resizing last-minute.

* **Unsupported File Formats:** Not all formats are print-friendly. Preflight software highlights incompatible types instantly.

* **Overprinting & Transparency Issues:** Overprint settings and transparencies can behave unpredictable—-unless your tool helps you catch them in advance.

Integrated with a print MIS/ERP solution, a smart artwork proofing tool automates these checks, speeds up approval cycles, and minimizes costly errors. That’s what true efficiency looks like in a modern web-to-print solution.
