Artworker launches file-sharing service for print

UK-based print tech firm, Artworker, has released a new, free file-sharing service designed for the print industry specifically.

Whilst there are a number of well-known file sharing services available from the likes of WeTransfer and MailBigFile, Artworker’s new release has a number of print-specific features.

These include 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 a company’s website; and a ten-times increase in maximum file size compared to other file sharing tools.

The service also features faster file uploads for users, structured file storage, the ability to preview artwork prior to submission, and the ability to display studio hours and support information on the portal.

These features are all free of charge which often come at a cost through other popular file sharing tools. However, for additional functionality, Artworker offers a Pro tier which features custom integrations and streamlines the management of your artwork approval process, including sending proofs for customer approval.

Nate Duckworth, co-founder of Artworker, says: “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 pre-press workflows. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible, from artwork submission to final approval.”

Colin Sinclair McDermott, non-executive commercial director, adds: “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.”
