How to compare print-on-demand platforms
Begin with the product you will actually sell. Download the current template, note the printable area, file format, minimum DPI, colour space, bleed, and safe zone, then price a sample to your main customer region. A large catalog has little value if the one product you need has weak colour, slow fulfilment, or expensive proof shipping.
Proof before you scale
Order at least one sample for a design with small type, dark gradients, skin tones, or edge-to-edge placement. Photograph the proof in neutral light and keep notes on colour, crop, hand feel, packaging, and delivery time. Those observations are more valuable than a generic star score.
Turn the workflow into a repeatable product
A reusable preflight record can become part of a professional client handoff, an Etsy seller workflow, or a digital print-preparation kit. Start with the free interactive checklist, then pair it with your own vendor templates, naming conventions, and proof notes.
Editorial and commercial separation
PrintFit calculations use the documented formulas and do not change for commercial partners. A partner can pay a referral commission; it cannot buy a sharper DPI verdict, a preferred place in the size table, or removal of a competing workflow from the educational content.
