The Full Picture
Time is only part of what you recover
The calculator above covers labor. These are the other places PrePressOS stops money from walking out the door.
Uncharged Fees
Manual pricing misses charges. PrePressOS enforces every cost line automatically — substrate, press time, makeready, ink, laminate, prepress. Nothing falls off the ticket.
Reprint Prevention
Preflight catches die fit, bleed, and file issues before the job hits press. Reprints cost 15–20% of a job's value and kill your margin. Catching one a month pays for the subscription.
Material Waste
Low-stock alerts and automatic inventory deduction on job completion prevent emergency buys, over-ordering, and mid-run shortages that stop a press and cost far more than the material itself.
Faster Payments
Invoices generate automatically when a job closes. Customers pay online through the portal. Less time in AR, less chasing, and cash in your account days sooner than a mailed invoice cycle.

FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers. No runaround.
Your trial gives you full Professional-level access for 30 days — including die plate connector, AutoStep imposition, and QuickBooks sync — with no credit card required. After that, choose a plan to continue. All your data stays exactly where it is. If you don't subscribe, your account drops to Free (preflight checks only) and nothing is deleted.
No contracts. Month-to-month plans cancel at the end of the current billing period. Annual plans are billed upfront at 20% off and renew automatically at the same rate — Stripe sends a receipt on every charge. Cancel before your renewal date and you won't be charged again.
Starter includes 5 seats. Professional includes 10 seats — enough for a full crew across sales, prepress, press, and shipping. Studio is unlimited. There are never any per-seat fees on any plan.
Starter has the full MIS: work orders, job costing, estimates, invoicing, proofs, time clock, inventory, and analytics. Professional adds the label shop power tools: die plate connector and plate fit analysis, AutoStep file imposition engine, and QuickBooks Online sync. If you run a label converter, you want Professional.
Yes, this is the primary target. The WO builder understands roll label production: plate fit analysis, die plate connector, unwind direction, overs, roll count math, slitting, rewinding, lamination. These are first-class features, not bolt-ons. Commercial print, wide format, and decorated items are also fully supported.
PrintSmith is a legacy system built for commercial offset, not label converters — and it's quote-only for pricing. ShopVox starts around $109/mo but a real 5-person shop with inventory tracking and integrations can run $700+/mo once you add all the required modules. PrePressOS includes everything at a flat rate, built from scratch with label shop workflows and modern UX.
Stop running your shop manually.
