What does “founding partner” actually mean?

It means you’re one of the first shops we onboard while the platform is young. You get hands-on onboarding, a direct line to the team building the product, and real influence over the roadmap. In return, you help us prove it in the real world - and you’re first to be featured when your story is ready to tell.

Is this a real, working platform or a prototype?

It’s real and shipping - branded storefront, instant pricing, the design studio with live 3D preview, online proof approval, and a job board the whole team works from. The demo store is being seeded now; until it opens we walk it with you live on a 30-minute screen share - no credit card, no obligation.

How long until my shop is taking orders online?

You can be taking real orders in days, not months - and we set it up with you. You add your products, set your pricing with the built-in strategies, connect your domain and publish - there’s no developer project and no setup fee. Free migration is part of our founding-100 offer - on any plan, we move your products, customers and price lists across with you at no extra cost. After the founding group, migration help is included on Growing Shop and Multi-Location.

How do I become a founding partner?

Book a demo. We’ll walk your shop through the platform, talk through how you quote and produce work today, and if it’s a fit we’ll get you onboarded. You can see the plans before you commit - Solo Shop, Growing Shop and Multi-Location, all with $0 setup and a 14-day trial with no card - and we put the exact numbers in front of you on the call.

Why we built Printmio

This page is reserved for
our founding 100 shops.

Printmio didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with the same late-night quoting, lost proofs and invisible jobs every print shop knows. Here’s the honest story we can tell today - and an open door for the shops who write the next ones.

The story behind the software

Built for the shop floor

Built to end the problems every print shop knows.

Good shops don’t lose to better printers. They lose to slower quoting, messy proofs, and work nobody can see. Every bounced file is a reprint, a delay, or an hour of free prepress - given away, job after job. So we built the tool that closes those leaks, and we’re proving it with a founding group of 100 shops before we claim anything else.

On Printmio, customers order, design, proof and pay on your own branded storefront while you run the press. Quotes price themselves. Proofs get signed off online, with a record of who approved what and when. Every job sits on one board the whole team can see. That’s the platform you’re looking at - see the live demo, or we’ll walk it with you on your own products.

Quoting eats your evenings

Every job starts as an email or a phone call. Quotes get built by hand and sent the next morning, while customers drift to the big online printers as they wait. Estimating work that should price itself ends up costing you your nights.

Proofs live in email threads

Artwork goes back and forth as attachments. Nobody is sure which version was approved or who signed off. One missed change runs on the press, and the reprint eats the whole job. Sign-off has to stick.

Nothing shows the whole shop

Work lives in someone’s head, on a whiteboard, and across three spreadsheets. When a customer rings to ask “where’s my order?”, someone has to go hunting. The whole team needs one board it can see at a glance.

The nights that started it. The fix is real - see the live demo and we'll walk you through it on your own products.

Day one

What every shop gets on day one.

These are the capabilities the platform ships with today - every one of them is live in the demo store. They’re what Printmio does, not a promise about your numbers.

Because we won’t print proof we don’t have yet. Printmio is pre-launch, and we’re opening it to a founding group of 100 shops. When those shops have real results to share, their stories will appear here - with their names, in their words, not stock quotes.
