The print RFQ,
finally
reinvented.
Qualified suppliers near every delivery point. Lower freight cost. Less carbon.
Describe your job in plain language. PrintAxis delivers an instant AI estimate from equipment-verified suppliers nearest each delivery point — cutting your freight bill, your transit time, and your CO₂e in a single click. Every footprint is locked at award, audit-ready for your next ESG report.
From spec to production in minutes, not days.
Type it naturally — "500 flyers, 8.5×11, full color both sides, glossy cover" — or use the guided wizard. Our AI parses your spec, extracts every field, and pre-fills the form. Presets for common products like business cards, postcards, and booklets make it even faster.
Our AI evaluates every qualifying press against your job — digital, offset, and wide-format — and intelligently selects the best option. You see 3–4 quantity scenarios side-by-side, each priced independently. No waiting, no phone calls.
Your job is sent to every supplier who passes all 10 equipment capability gates — sheet size, color units, duplex, paper weight, delivery region, and more. Suppliers see the price and simply accept or pass. No negotiations, no counter-offers.
Award to your preferred supplier, upload artwork, review proofs, and track production — all in one dashboard. Pay your way: connect a bank account for Net 45 ACH terms, or a credit/debit card for pay-at-delivery. Both run on Stripe — no PrintAxis-held funds.
Everything the old RFQ process was missing.
Just type your job description. Our AI parses quantity, size, stock, colors, finishing, and delivery — and fills the spec form for you.
Launching with the HP Indigo family — four sheetfed digital production presses (Indigo 12K, 15K, 18K, and 100K). Our estimating engine spans every major sheetfed press in the market; we'll open the network to additional manufacturers and wide-format as we scale.
Every estimate shows 3–4 quantity breaks — each analyzed by the AI independently. See the real cost curve, not a linear scale.
10 capability gates — sheet size, color units, duplex, paper weight, finishing, delivery region — must all pass before a supplier sees your job.
If no registered supplier qualifies, our AI searches the web for printers that can do the job — presenting them as unverified leads with an invitation to join.
Bank account for Net 45 ACH terms (10 / 15 / 75), or credit/debit card for pay-at-delivery (10 / 90). Switch your default any time. Auto-confirmation 7 days after delivery if the buyer doesn't respond.
Full direct mail support — CASS/NCOA, inkjet addressing, presort discounts, USPS facility entry. Postage is a sacred pass-through with zero markup.
Suppliers upload proofs, buyers approve or request changes. Author's alterations are priced, reviewed, and approved before production — no surprise charges.
Every matched supplier comes with an AI-generated explanation of why they qualified — press specs, proximity, and ranking factors — so buyers can choose confidently.
The closest qualified press wins on price, time, and carbon — automatically.
Same job. Same spec. Four qualified suppliers in different cities. PrintAxis routes to the closest one — and the savings stack up across freight, transit time, and emissions.
Why this matters at scale: Every print buyer in our network reduces the average shipping leg in the system. More suppliers = shorter ships = lower buyer cost AND lower carbon. Network effects in print, finally.
Print smarter. Report it. Beat the next ESG audit.
Every matched supplier shows estimated production + shipping carbon in lbs CO₂e, plus a Low / Medium / High tier. The vendor 800 miles away might be cheaper — but the one 30 miles away is usually the smarter call once shipping carbon is on the table.
Every job's carbon footprint is logged to your account. Roll it up monthly, quarterly, or annually for your ESG disclosures, Scope 3 reporting, SEC climate filings, CDP submissions, and sustainable-procurement requirements on federal, state, and Fortune 500 RFPs.
