AI Prepress Engine
Stop fixing PDFs.Run prepress like the top 1% of shops.30 seconds per file. 100+ operations. No operator on the bench.
The Seed Prepress Engine reads, fixes, lays out, and ships your files. Your team only touches the ones that need a human. More jobs through the press. Less time on the bench.
The flow your shop already runs
Preflight, repair, proof, layout, output. Same path, fewer places for the job to get stuck.
The file can carry the rules with it: customer, substrate, finish, due date, and the little shop preferences that usually live in someone's head. SeedOS handles the common fixes first and keeps the weird calls visible for the operator.
Files can still go to the tools you trust. RIPs, hot folders, proof portals, cutters, and partner shops stay part of the flow. The difference is that the handoff knows what the job is, which version is approved, and where it needs to go next.
How it works
A normal prepress day, with fewer interruptions.
A file lands in the queue. SeedOS checks the things your team already checks: bleed, boxes, fonts, color, cut paths, white ink, and PDF/X. If it is an easy fix, it gets fixed. If it needs judgment, it gets called out.
The customer sees the right proof, with comments and approval tied to the job. Layout starts with a usable first pass for sheets, rolls, gang runs, duplex pieces, or stickers. Your operator can change it before anything moves to the RIP or cutter.
Templates
Stop rebuilding the job you already know.
Every shop has repeat work that comes back with a new file name: banners, canvas, decals, stickers, roll jobs, duplex pieces, white ink. SeedOS lets your team save the setup that worked and start from it next time.
New job? Explain it the way you would explain it to another operator. SeedOS drafts the recipe, your team tightens the parts that need judgment, and the finished setup can become the shop default.
Step inside
What the operator sees at each handoff.
The first screen should feel familiar: what came in, what SeedOS checked, what it fixed, and what still needs a human call. The point is not to hide the file from prepress. The point is to give the operator a better starting point.
For the first pass, SeedOS checks bleed, color, fonts, geometry, cut paths, white ink, and PDF/X before the queue turns into a status meeting.
Under the hood
The work your operator keeps repeating.
Bleed, fonts, color, cut paths, finishing, layout, proofing, and device output are already covered. More specialist work is coming next, but the everyday jobs are the reason this exists.
SeedOS is meant to take the repeatable part of prepress off the bench, not pretend every file is simple. The exceptions still get surfaced. They just stop slowing down the files that are ready to move.
Plays nice with the rest of your shop
Keep the tools your floor already trusts.
If Switch or callas is doing useful work, keep it there. SeedOS can hand clean files into the specialized parts of the process instead of forcing you to rebuild them.
For output, we map the handoff your shop already uses: Caldera, Onyx, Wasatch, Fiery, iCut, Summa, Roland, Mimaki, API, or hot folder. Job status, approvals, files, and exceptions can move the same way.

Questions prepress operators ask.
What does AI prepress actually do that scripts can't?
It handles the messy middle: the file where the problem is visual, the customer has a special standard, or someone usually has to decide whether the issue is acceptable. Scripts are still useful. SeedOS is better at deciding what needs attention.
Does it replace Enfocus Switch?
Not unless you want it to. Some shops keep Switch for packaging or special routines and let SeedOS handle the prepress work around it: checking, fixing, proofing, layout, and handoff.
Does it work with my RIP and cutter?
Yes. Caldera, Onyx, Wasatch, and Fiery on the print side. iCut, Summa, Roland, and Mimaki on the cutter side. API when available, hot folder when that is what the floor uses, and DXF, SVG, or CFF2 when a cutter needs it.
Can I set my own rules?
Yes. DPI thresholds, bleed behavior, customer exceptions, substrate defaults, proofing steps, and escalation paths belong to your shop. Change the rule, and the next job follows it.
What is the Seed Prepress Engine?
It is SeedOS's native PDF engine. It reads glyphs, paths, colors, transformations, boxes, and layers, because the trouble in print files often lives below what normal scripts can see.
