UK-based print tech firm Artworker has started a free file-sharing service designed with the specific needs of the printing industry in mind.
Colin McDermott, non-executive commercial director, said: ‘Having a platform specifically designed and built by a team with decades of experience running printing businesses gives Artworker an edge in knowing where the current pitfalls are and how best to address them.”
The service includes: the creation of a uniquely branded portal within minutes, complete with a custom URL for linking from websites and emails; embeddable widgets, allowing customers to share files without leaving the company’s website; artwork preview; structured file storage; and the ability to display studio hours and support information on the portal.
For users seeking more functionality, Artworker offers a Pro tier which streamlines approval process, including sending proofs for customer sign-off.
Nate Duckworth, co-founder of Artworker, said: “In a rapidly evolving digital world, it’s crucial that the print industry doesn’t get left behind. With Artworker, we’re not just improving file-sharing – we’re transforming the way printers interact with their clients and manage their prepress workflows. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible, from artwork submission to final approval.”
