Print Readiness Passport
Passport gathers preflight measurements, technical observations, and approval checklists in one place. The goal is to build an honest production evidence chain rather than applying destructive automatic edits.

What does the passport provide?
Passport shows the customer what to do next, details what technical evidence is shared with the supplier, and determines the subsequent platform actions.
Supplier
Receives measured findings, technical limitations, and technical observation notes in one package to accelerate file approval.
Platform
Integrates preparation reports into RFQ requests, supplier proof reviews, and order-readiness check gates.
What the passport surfaces
- Print measurements: Bleed box, font embedding status, image resolution (PPI), and color intent.
- Observations and limitations: Safely reported alerts and technical boundary notes without altering design content.
- Approval checklist: Supplier reviews, customer confirmations, file updates, or RFQ handoff actions.
- Reliability guarantee: Honest and transparent technical reporting without forcing automatic changes.
- Measured vs preview isolation: Strict separation of actual measurements from simulated preview estimates.
- Edge Hub integration: Local desktop app and queue pilot diagnostics.
The flow continues even without a passport
