Printmio vs Printavo

The short answer

Printavo is shop-management and production-scheduling software built mainly for apparel and screen-print shops, and it does that job well. Its weak spot is the customer-facing side: there is no built-in design studio, so your buyers cannot create print-ready artwork themselves. Printmio is the all-in-one alternative - a branded storefront, an in-browser design studio, instant print pricing, proofing and a job board in one system.

The difference

Where Printmio fits better

• Your customers design for themselves. A full in-browser design studio means buyers create their own print-ready artwork - so you stop being their unpaid designer.
• Instant pricing, not quote-by-email. Flat price, percentage markup, per-area, quantity breaks or your own formula - the price shows live as customers choose options.
• Print-ready output. Export a 300 DPI CMYK PDF straight from the order - no separate prepress round-trip to clean up the file.
• Beyond apparel. Business cards, banners, signs and wide-format all sell from the same store, not just garments.
