Three tools, one workflow
Start in halftone or upscale, then hand off to the sheet builder — or open the builder on its own. Every tool exports print-ready or drops straight onto a gang sheet.
Sheet Builder
Auto-nest, live DPI checks, crop and prep — lay out production gang sheets without a storefront or checkout.
Open builderHalftone
Screen soft fades into solid dots and knock colours out — upload, prep, download, or send straight to a sheet.
Open halftoneUpscale
Rescue files that arrived too small. Push pixels up before they hit the press — then drop the result on a gang sheet.
Open upscaleWhy Gangly
Less wasted film. Fewer bad prints.
Prep, nest, and DPI checks for shops running their own press — not a generic layout toy.
Nesting that saves film
Auto-pack turns art 90° when it fills another column, then packs tight or into cut-friendly rows. Less wasted film, faster weeding.
Less film
per sheet, every nest
DPI before you print
Every image shows the resolution it will actually print at — crop and resize included. Soft files get flagged before they ruin a roll.
300 DPI
checked live, per image
Prep without Photoshop
Halftone soft fades, colour knockout, and resolution enhance — in the builder or as standalone tools.
One workflow

Sheet Builder
Drop a whole order in at once. Every image is sized to print at your target resolution, given a quantity, and laid out in a single pass — or place by hand when you need control.

Prep, nest, and export
Resolution enhance
Rescue artwork that arrived too small. Pixels go up, printed size stays exactly where you put it.
Halftone & knockout
Prep artwork the way DTF needs it — binary halftone for fades, colour knockout for what shouldn't print.
Full layout control
Rulers, snapping, align, layers, crop and tone. Auto-nest when you want it, hand placement when you don't.
Live DPI checks
Every image shows the resolution it will actually print at — crop and resize included. Soft files get flagged before they ruin a roll.
