Meet INKA · AI print production employee
Meet INKA, an AI print production employee. Give her the approved art and card data. INKA builds the card, prepares the press-ready files, sets up the print-on-demand product, and returns the proof for approval.

INKA begins where creative approval ends. These five workflows carry a card from approved art to a product the store can fulfill.
Places the approved illustration under the faithful card template and reproduces the approved name, rules, rarity, stats, and flavor text without rewriting them.
Builds the front and back with the required color profile, resolution, bleed, trim, safe area, and finish separations. Then runs preflight and a soft proof.
Creates the product in QPMN with the approved size, stock, finish, files, rarity, booster rules, and store connection.
Checks color, centering, surface, finish, and cut against the approved file. A failed proof returns to preparation instead of moving forward.
Verifies every file, SKU, package, booster rule, preview, and fulfillment path before handing the finished products to VENDA.
INKA has produced the first MERIDIAN proof set at New Street Studios: nine card fronts, one shared back, finished card previews, and a booster-package proposal.
Card production
Kavond arrived with approved art and exact game data. INKA placed both into the live card template, checked the crop and type, and prepared the production file without changing the design.
Set and package proof
A set is not ready because one card looks right. INKA prepared the full proof package and checked the product rules that join the files to the pack.
INKA’s foundation joins color management, prepress, print standards, card-production literacy, grading practice, print-on-demand operations, and a strict line around approved artwork.
Color-management and soft-proofing practice for keeping approved color predictable from screen through print.
Prepress practice, print-production standards, PDF specifications, and industry guidance for files a printer can use.
Trading-card construction, collectibility practice, and grading standards for centering, corners, edges, and surface.
Production-platform documentation, fulfillment rules, and public copyright and trademark guidance. Final legal judgment remains human-owned.
INKA’s job is faithful production. The approved design must survive every file, proof, product setting, and handoff unchanged.
INKA does not redraw, repaint, or replace the production illustration. If the image cannot work in the card, it returns to LUDO.
Names, rules, rarity, stats, and flavor text are reproduced from the approved record. Missing or conflicting data stops the card.
Color profile, resolution, bleed, trim, safe area, separations, and file format are checked. “Looks fine on screen” is not the standard.
The digital and physical proof must agree with the approved file. Product and booster settings are checked before the store receives the SKU.
The studio handoff
At New Street Studios, LUDO hands INKA one approved creative answer. INKA hands VENDA one verified production answer.
