Printing shouldn't be a black box.
Printy exists because the hardest part of commercial print isn't the printing — it's the not knowing. Not knowing the real price. Not knowing if the job started. Not knowing who to chase when it's late.
Ask three print shops for the same job and you'll get three prices, three lead times, and no explanation of how any of them were calculated. Approve the artwork and the job disappears — into a WhatsApp thread, into someone's head, into a press queue you can't see.
We thought the fix was a better quoting form. It wasn't. The real fix was making the entire production workflow visible to everyone who touches it — the client who paid, the manager who coordinates, and the printer who runs the press — while showing each of them only what they actually need.
One job. One workflow. Different views. That single idea is the whole product.
Four principles we don't bend
Transparency by default
Every quote shows its press sheet, pieces per sheet, sheet count and spoilage warnings. If we can't explain a number, the backend doesn't produce it.
Nobody carries risk alone
Clients don't pay for work they haven't seen. Printers don't print for clients who might not pay.
Respect the shop floor
Printers get big buttons, clear specs and honest deadlines — not admin work disguised as software.
Built for Kenyan print
KES pricing, M-Pesa custody, Nairobi logistics and the real sheet sizes local presses actually run.
