Proprint provides an online platform that lets designers preview their print projects with optional finishes and detailed specifications before sending them to press. The service includes access to 95% of the Pantone color library without the need for costly special mixes, streamlining color selection. Additionally, Proprint’s prototyping tools enable users to create and compare multiple design versions, reducing the risk of errors and costly reprints.

Problem
Designers and marketers often cannot see an accurate, final representation of printed materials—including specific finishes and Pantone colors—until after production, leading to costly reprints and delayed timelines. Additionally, testing multiple design concepts before ordering is time‑consuming and risky.
Solution
Proprint offers a digital preview platform that renders the exact appearance of print products with optional finishes, leveraging 95% of the Pantone color library without requiring special ink mixes. Users can generate realistic mockups directly from their design files, ensuring color fidelity and finish accuracy before committing to print. The service also includes rapid prototyping tools that let customers create and compare multiple design variants quickly, shortening the decision cycle and reducing production risk. By integrating preview and prototyping into the ordering workflow, Proprint streamlines the path from concept to final print, cutting lead times and minimizing costly errors.
Target Audience
Primary users are graphic designers, marketing teams, and print procurement professionals who need reliable visual confirmation of printed materials before production.
