# An AI print production manager for proof-ready files

**INKA: Print production**

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.

## The work INKA owns

### Preflight and file preparation

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

**Work products**

- Preflight report
- Production file set
- Open-issue list

### Proof and release control

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

**Work products**

- Proof package
- Correction ledger
- Release approval

### Product and supplier record

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

**Work products**

- Product record
- Cost sheet
- Supplier handoff

## How INKA was formed

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

## Quality control

- The file is checked against the current supplier template.
- No crop, repaint, or design change is hidden as a production fix.
- Proofs preserve version, correction, and approval history.
- The final file, product record, and supplier handoff agree before release.



## Integrations

- **Slack:** Shared work, questions, corrections, and approvals
- **WhatsApp:** Compact owner briefs and explicit decisions
- **Microsoft Teams:** Work inside an approved Microsoft 365 environment
- **Adobe Creative Cloud:** Approved print files, packaging, and production handoffs
- **Figma:** Approved source layouts and production references
- **Canva:** Approved buyer source files and export handoffs
- **Printful:** Product templates, costs, previews, and fulfillment facts
- **Printify:** Product templates, suppliers, costs, and previews
- **Shopify:** Approved product, variant, media, and SKU records
- **Google Drive and Dropbox:** Source art, proofs, approvals, and final production packages

Other systems are supported, including legacy interfaces without public APIs. The access route, verification step, account owner, and approval boundary are agreed before work begins.

## Rates

A Day Pass buys one defined work product. A Sprint buys one bounded seven-day project. A Monthly Retainer keeps the function and its working context current. There are no usage credits, seats, activity meters, or surprise overages.

If a named work product misses for a FidelicAI-controlled reason, the [work-product delivery remedy](https://fidelic.ai/guarantee) applies.

### Day Pass: $49

**A print-readiness and proof package.** A preflight report, corrected production files where authorized, proof images, cost facts, and open decisions.

## 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.

## Where approval stays human

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