Built by prepress, for prepress.
Printvue exists because checking a print file should not need three desktop applications, a licence server and the one person who knows how they fit together.
Most print problems are found too late: after the plates are made, after the proof is signed, sometimes after the job is on the press. Files arrive from designers, agencies and clients in every state of readiness, and the tools to check them were built for single workstations and perpetual licences.
Printvue brings that work into the browser and treats it the way a RIP does. A file comes in, is repaired and checked against the press, the common faults are fixed in one pass, and a press-ready PDF goes out. The operator sees each plate before committing to output.
It is built by a creative director with nearly three decades in print, in India, where print runs on tight margins and fast turnarounds, and designed to the same international standards used by printers in Europe, the Americas and Japan.
The operator decides
Printvue suggests and fixes, but every change is listed, logged inside the PDF and can be undone. Nothing goes to press on our say-so.
Standards, not guesses
Profiles follow the press conditions printers actually use, such as FOGRA, GRACoL and ISOnewspaper, with ink limits and dot gain to match.

Harsh
Founder, Printvue · Creative Director
Harsh has spent more than 28 years on both sides of print: shaping the idea and getting it onto the sheet. As a creative director and designer, his work spans branding, packaging, print production and exhibition design.
He founded We Are The Medium, a multidisciplinary design studio working across print, digital and experiential media. Since 2011 he has also been Creative Director at MeDM Canada, leading strategic design and communication projects for clients across North America.
What sets his work apart is the production knowledge behind the creative. He knows how a file behaves in prepress, on press and in finishing, and Printvue is built on that experience: the checks a seasoned operator would make, available to every shop.
