Design it, prove it, and get it approved — without a single email attachment.
Most of the friction between an order and the press is design and approval: files that aren't ready, proofs buried in email, revisions no one can track. GraphX Studio is the design and proofing engine — a pro editor for your operators, a web-to-print editor your customers drive themselves, and online soft-proofing where every round is annotated, approved, and logged.
This product is in active development. The capabilities described below describe what we're building — some are partially in place today, others are being wired with launch partners.

What's inside GraphX Studio
Design editors
- A pro operator editor for your team — full control over the artwork
- A customer-facing web-to-print editor customers drive themselves
- Ready-made templates so a customer starts from a design, not a blank canvas
- Brand locks — fonts, colors, and logo placement your customer can't break
- Live preview that matches what will actually print
VDP & specialty
- Variable-data printing — one template, a data file, a run of personalized pieces
- Data merge from a spreadsheet or a customer list into every record
- Vehicle-wrap tooling — panel layout and template sizing for the vehicle
- Large-format and specialty layouts, not just flat sheet work
- Reusable design assets and a brand kit surfaced right in the editor
Proofing engine
- Online soft-proofing — the proof lives on a page, not in an inbox
- Annotate and approve — mark up the proof and sign off in the same place
- Revision rounds tracked so everyone sees which version is current
- An approval audit trail — who approved what, and when, on the record
- Notifications that move the round forward instead of chasing a reply
What GraphX Studio does for your shop
Let customers do the design work you used to redo
A web-to-print editor with templates and brand locks means a customer builds a design that's already on-brand and already print-ready — so your team stops rebuilding files that arrived wrong.
Kill the email-attachment proofing loop
Proofs live on a page where the customer annotates and approves in one place. No more digging through email to find which attachment was the latest, or whether anyone actually signed off.
Every approval on the record
When a job goes to press, the approval audit trail shows exactly which revision was approved and who approved it. If a question comes up later, the answer is logged — not a memory of an email.
Variable data and specialty work in the same studio
The same design surface handles variable-data runs and vehicle-wrap layouts, so personalized and large-format jobs live where the rest of your design work already does.
FAQ
Questions, answered straight
Is GraphX Studio available today?+
Not yet in full — Studio is in active development. This page describes the design and proofing engine we're building: a pro operator editor, a customer-facing web-to-print editor with templates and brand locks, variable-data printing and vehicle-wrap tooling, and online soft-proofing with revision rounds and an approval audit trail. Some pieces are partially in place; others are being wired with launch partners. Sign up for updates and we'll tell you when each part is ready for your shop.
What's the difference between the pro editor and the customer editor?+
The pro operator editor is for your team — full control over the artwork, for the jobs you build or fix in-house. The customer-facing web-to-print editor is what your customers use on your storefront: templated, with brand locks that keep fonts, colors, and logo placement inside the lines you set. One studio, two surfaces, so a customer can self-serve a design while your operators keep the final say.
How does the proofing engine handle revisions and sign-off?+
The proof is a page, not an email thread. Your customer annotates it, requests changes, and approves in the same place. Each revision round is tracked so everyone sees which version is current, and every sign-off is written to an approval audit trail — who approved which revision, and when. When the job hits the press, there's no question about whether it was approved.
Will I have to pay extra for Studio when it launches?+
Pillars that are part of the platform subscription roll out to existing customers as they come online — no separate purchase. Where a piece involves a partner engine, we bring you the capability packaged inside your platform rather than as a bill you assemble yourself. We're explicit about what's included in your specific package.
