Designed on screen. Built for what comes off the press.
Vibrance carries product dimensions, safe areas, image quality, and specialty finishing intent from the customer editor into production output.

Preflight belongs inside the design workflow.
Customers get useful feedback before handoff. Production teams get fewer preventable issues at the last possible moment.
Image resolution
Compare natural image dimensions with the size placed on the card and warn when 300 DPI output is at risk.

Element overlaps
Surface possible overlapping visible elements for a final visual check without assuming every overlap is an error.
Review overlap
Finish conflicts
Block incompatible production intent, such as assigning the same element to foil and Spot UV or printing ink beneath mask-only foil.

Deterministic output
The same approved project produces the same production plan.
Vibrance renders from structured scene data and product specifications—not from a screenshot of the browser canvas.
- Front and back ink artwork with configured bleed
- Dedicated vector masks for foil, UV, and white ink
- Proof sheets and customer-facing preview output
- Export jobs connected back to the project and version

Finishing is first-class data
Premium effects, with production intent attached.
Finishes can be assigned to design elements, previewed in context, validated for conflicts, and exported as dedicated masks.

Metallic foil
Mask-only vector output helps avoid ink peeking through normal production tolerance.

Spot and blind UV
Structured gloss intent remains distinct from normal ink artwork and other finishes.

White ink
White-ink masks remain visible to production routing and can trigger the appropriate review path.
Product-aware from the start
The canvas begins with the product—not an arbitrary rectangle.
Each design is tied to a specification that defines physical size, bleed, safe margin, orientation, corner options, allowed finishes, and quote behavior.

Production questions
Details your prepress team will ask.
Which preflight issues can Vibrance detect?
The current workflow checks safe-margin and trim placement, image resolution at placed size, possible visible-element overlaps, incompatible finish combinations, foil elements that also print in ink, and disabled back sides.
Are finishing masks separate from ink artwork?
Yes. Production intent is modeled per element and the export plan separates ink sides from UV, foil, blind-UV, and white-ink masks as applicable.
Does Vibrance support different card sizes?
Yes. Current product specifications include standard, slim, super slim, and credit-card formats with configured physical dimensions, bleed, safe margins, corner options, and allowed finishes.
Can complex jobs be routed for manual review?
Yes. Blocking warnings, white ink, multiple foil masks, and configured product conditions can lead to a manual quote or review path rather than pretending every project is safe for automatic production.
