WHAT IT IS
One system, from the order landing to the box going out
Most shops run four tools that do not talk to each other, and a person in the middle doing the talking. This is one system. The order arrives, the artwork resolves, the sheet prints, QA records a verdict, the package ships, and the invoice knows about all of it.
THE PATH OF ONE SHEET
Order in
Webhook from the store, verified and deduplicated
Artwork
Downloaded, unzipped, trimmed, white layer applied
Routed
Rules pick the printer. Unknown work goes to a tray
To the RIP
Placed atomically in the hotfolder
Printed
Operator prints. Status polls back
QA
Pass, fail, missing or crop, per sheet
Packed
Picks gathered, order gated until complete
Shipped
Carrier scan, tracking reconciled
Nothing prints on a guess
When a product has no routing rule, the job does not fall back to a store default and quietly print on the wrong printer. It is flagged and lands in a tray for a human to map. A wrong printer is film, ink and time, so the system refuses to guess.
The order moves when QA says so
A sheet is not done because the printer finished. The order advances only after QA records a verdict. Pass, fail, missing or crop, on that specific sheet, with a reason attached.
Every job carries its own cost
Ink volumes come back from the RIP per colour channel. Film comes from the real sheet dimensions. The sale price is captured when the order arrives, so margin is known per job rather than reconstructed at month end. Most shops cannot answer what a single sheet cost them. This one can.
