Artwork Intelligence.
Business Control.

Prepare the job, manage customer communication, and keep production records together. Core local production works offline; email and connected resources require configuration and connectivity.

Four Separation Methods

Spot for distinct inks, Simulated Process for blended art, dedicated C/M/Y/K process plates, and adaptive-palette Index separations. CMYK supports tone and total-ink controls plus compatible external ICC/ICM conversion.

AD

Artwork Doctor & Advisor

Inspect resolution, transparency, tonal contrast, tiny details and color complexity. Compare separation methods, screen requirements and press fit, with mesh/LPI guidance. Scores support decisions; they do not predict exact press results.

QC

QC & Shop Calibration

Check press capacity, registration, empty or duplicate plates and invalid plate data. Record printer X/Y compensation, exposure step-wedge results, mesh/ink/press settings and reusable production recipes.

$

Customers, Quotes & Invoices

Manage customer records, line items, tax, discounts and payments. Convert quotes to invoices, export HTML/PDF documents, estimate job costs and track inventory and artwork approvals.

@

Email & Accounting Exports

Send invoices, proofs and attachments through configured SMTP; optional IMAP and EML fallback support communications. Export QuickBooks and Xero CSV files, also readable in Excel. File export is not live accounting synchronization.

JOB

Job Packages & Backups

Retain editable plates, artwork, settings and QC records in Master Job Packages, with matching verified films when included. Use batch exports and configurable daily backups while the app is running; credentials and machine-bound licenses are excluded.

Supported artwork includes PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, WEBP and PSD import for production preparation. PSD import is not a full Photoshop editor. CMYK, Index and ICC workflows require shop-specific qualification.

Choose the Separation for the Artwork

  • Spot Color: logos, lettering, cartoons and distinct ink colors.
  • Simulated Process: photographic, painted and heavily blended artwork, with profiles for different production needs.
  • CMYK Process: dedicated cyan, magenta, yellow and black plates; black generation, UCR, total-ink and tone controls, plus compatible external CMYK ICC/ICM conversion.
  • Index: adaptive-palette, solid-pixel separations without AM halftone rescreening.

Review the Plates You Will Output

Select nonadjacent plates, merge only the selected colors and move plates up or down. Review garment proofs and individual films. View, Export, Print and Reprint use your live plates without rerunning automatic separation.

Start from Black Cotton, White Cotton, Polyester or Triblend. White Underbase, Highlight White and Polyester Blocker Gray are available according to the workflow; special plates count toward press capacity.

Control Halftones and FilmRIP

Set LPI, angle, dot shape, mesh-based recommendations, polarity, mirroring, registration marks and film slugs. Documented output settings include 600, 1200, 1440 and 2400 DPI. Save printer profiles and choose Standard, Heavy, Extra Heavy or Double Strike.

FilmRIP uses installed Windows printer drivers. Double Strike submits two passes and may require accurate refeeding. Actual density and dimensional accuracy depend on the printer, ink, film, driver and calibration; generic profiles are not certified setups.

Keep Jobs Repeatable

Use batch queues, sequential exports, job history, reusable recipes and Master Job Packages. Export grayscale TIFF masters, screened TIFF films, PNG proofs, and PDF/text job tickets. Store calibration and selected production reference records with the job.

Business Tools Included

Command Center includes customer records, quotes, invoices, payment records, artwork approvals, costing and inventory. Configured SMTP email supports attachments, with optional IMAP synchronization and an EML fallback. Export invoice line items as QuickBooks and Xero CSV files, also readable in Excel; column mapping is reviewed in the receiving product.

Data Backup and Recovery

Configure daily backups to your chosen storage location. Backups run when Command Center opens after the daily interval; the application must be running. Portable backups exclude email passwords and machine-bound licenses, which need separate setup after moving computers.
