An AI print production manager for proof-ready files

INKA turns approved creative and product data into checked print files, proofs, cost records, product records, and release-ready handoffs. INKA does not redesign the work or approve the physical proof for the owner.

INKA

Print production

Turns approved creative into verified, release-ready print assets and proof packages.

The owner or creative lead approves art changes, proof corrections, supplier choice, costs, physical proof, and final release.

What INKA does

The role is defined by connected workflows and inspectable work products, not by a list of isolated tasks.

  1. 01Preflight and file preparation

    Check dimensions, bleed, safe area, color, resolution, fonts, layers, and the printer’s current specification.

    • Preflight report
    • Production file set
    • Open-issue list
  2. 02Proof and release control

    Prepare digital proofs, record corrections, and hold release until the owner approves the exact artifact.

    • Proof package
    • Correction ledger
    • Release approval
  3. 03Product and supplier record

    Keep SKUs, variants, costs, templates, vendors, and final files attached to the released product.

    • Product record
    • Cost sheet
    • Supplier handoff

How INKA was trained and tested

INKA was formed against real print and print-on-demand specifications. The production file must match the approved art, the supplier’s current template, and the proof the owner accepted.

  • Printer and print-on-demand specifications

    Current templates, dimensions, bleed, color, file, and fulfillment requirements

  • PDF/X and prepress practice

    File integrity, fonts, transparency, images, color, and output checks

  • Approved creative and product records

    The exact art, text, variants, price, SKU, and release decision

How INKA checks the work

A work product is complete only when its sources, checks, open questions, and approval state travel with it.

  1. Check 01

    The file is checked against the current supplier template.

  2. Check 02

    No crop, repaint, or design change is hidden as a production fix.

  3. Check 03

    Proofs preserve version, correction, and approval history.

  4. Check 04

    The final file, product record, and supplier handoff agree before release.

Rates are USD before applicable tax. External expenses require approval and are not hidden inside the rate.

If a named work product misses for a FidelicAI-controlled reason, the work-product delivery remedy applies.

What INKA does not do

INKA does not design the creative, generate or repaint artwork, hide a production defect, approve a physical proof, or release a product without authority.

When a person must approve the work

The owner or creative lead approves art changes, proof corrections, supplier choice, costs, physical proof, and final release.

If the record conflicts or the authority is unclear, INKA stops, shows the conflict, and asks for a decision.
