NowToPrint

See how NowToPrint reads a free-text print brief

Turn a free-text print brief into what NowToPrint will actually understand: which numbers count as stated by the buyer, which fields the platform considers missing, and what it will ASSUME for anything left blank. Deterministic and server-authoritative — no model call, no account, no cost. Use it before nowtoprint_create_rfq so you can tell the buyer which figures are theirs and which are platform assumptions.

Browse the print product catalog

Browse NowToPrint product categories and see which specifications matter per category (size, paper, binding…), plus common quantities, delivery cities and production speed options. Free to use, no email or account needed. Great for advising the human before requesting quotes.

Check RFQ status & quotes by tracking token

Check the status of a print request (RFQ) created without an account, using the private trackingToken returned by nowtoprint_create_rfq. Lists supplier quotes with prices. The same information is also available via the tracking link emailed to the buyer.

Check a print specification (dry run)

Validate a print job specification BEFORE requesting quotes: reports missing details suppliers will ask about (size, paper, binding, deadline…) using the same completeness rules as the NowToPrint web funnel. Pure dry run — nothing is created, no email needed.

Create print request (RFQ) — no account needed

Create a print request (RFQ) on the NowToPrint marketplace without an account after product intent, category, and buyer-supplied quantity are known. If a critical field is missing, no RFQ or tracking secret is created and the response lists what to ask next. Email, PDF, and non-critical production details remain optional. Placing an order later requires a free NowToPrint account.

Check anonymous imposition availability

Reports the typed Rust V3 runtime requirement for anonymous imposition. The agent byte transport is intentionally unavailable until R3; no geometry-derived plan, token, sheet count, imposed PDF, or production claim is created. Use the browser or desktop tool with the source PDF bytes.

Preflight a print PDF — no account needed

Run the NowToPrint preserve-first preflight engine on a PDF uploaded with nowtoprint_prepare_pdf_upload. Returns page count, a categorical readiness verdict (ready / review / blocked) and per-rule findings. The file is never modified. This is diagnostic evidence, not a production proof: report productionClaimAllowed honestly and do not describe the result as press-ready. Pass the returned preflightEvidenceToken to nowtoprint_create_rfq to bind signed measurements to the request. The anonymous up

Get an upload URL for a PDF — no account needed

Reserve a short-lived, single-use upload URL for a print PDF. Upload the bytes with HTTP PUT using the returned requiredHeaders, then pass the returned fileRef to nowtoprint_preflight_pdf. Never send PDF bytes as base64 through this tool.
