01
Made by a real print shop
Every feature exists because a working DTF shop needed it that week — not because it looked good on a roadmap.
Generic RIPs: built for printers in general, not you
02
Protects your prints
The gang sheet nesting engine packs tightly to save film, but never slices a design. Quality first, savings second — in that order.
Others: slice to save film, ruin the print
03
One suite, not nine tabs
Job files, batch, edit, gang sheets, mockup, orders, clients and video share one job panel and one config. Learn it once.
Others: a stack of apps that never talk
04
Yours, and global-ready
Runs on your machine, syncs to your own site, speaks your language, and prices in your currency. No cloud holding your clients hostage.
SaaS: your client list lives on their server
05
Your data, wide open
The local databases are plain SQLite — not encrypted, not locked. Read them, back them up, or build your own website or system straight on top of your own data.
Others: locked formats you can't get out of
06
Keeps working offline
Everything runs against a local database first, so a dropped connection never stops a job. Sync when you're ready, not when the software demands it.
Cloud tools: no internet, no work
07
Knows what a job cost you
Fabric, rib, labour or buy-in price, plus the DTF film off the roll — PrintOS records it as you work, so a month's real profit is a click away, not a weekend with a spreadsheet.
Others: you find out at tax time
