Georgetown, TX — January 31, 2025 —
Ashore, a leader in online proofing software, has unveiled Preflights, a groundbreaking solution that automagically converts customer artwork into print-ready PDFs in seconds.

Unlike traditional preflight tools, Ashore Preflights doesn’t just resize, rasterize, or convert files to 300dpi—it intelligently extends images to the bleed, eliminating unwanted white borders while auto-adding crop marks for flawless print production.

“With Ashore Preflights, we’re removing the tedious manual work from print preparation,” said Cody Miles, Founder at Ashore. “Our technology goes beyond simple file conversion—it dynamically extends images to the bleed, ensuring edge-to-edge perfection without forcing users to edit their designs. And then it provides a one-click option for sending the artwork back to the customer for review.”

How Ashore Preflights Stands Out

  • Automatic Bleed Extension
    No more white borders—Ashore intelligently extends artwork to the bleed, creating seamless, professional prints.

  • One-Click Print Perfection
    Auto-resizes, rasterizes, and converts to 300dpi with zero manual intervention.

  • Built-in Crop Marks
    Ensures every print file is production-ready from the start.

  • Lightning-Fast Processing
    Transforms files in minutes, saving valuable time for designers, printers, and marketing teams.

  • Download or Send for Review
    Print-ready PDFs are ready to send to the RIP or can be turned into new proofs for review in one click.
