When PrintIntegrator wins
Pick us if…
You actually need print-ready output
Print-ready PDF generation is harder than it looks. PrintIntegrator handles bleed, ICC, embedded fonts, and preflight. Pixelixe's export is less rigorous.
You need ERP/order/job management
Pixelixe ends where the design ends. PrintIntegrator continues into orders, manufacturing jobs, and invoicing — natively on Odoo.
You're a print shop, not a graphics tool
Pixelixe's sweet spot is "give marketers a Canva alternative." PrintIntegrator's sweet spot is "give print shops a full personalization-to-production stack."
When Pixelixe wins
Pick them if…
Honest take — we don't fit every shop. The competitor may be a better choice in these cases:
You're building a graphics product, not a print shop
If the deliverable is a JPEG for social media or a deck, Pixelixe's broader editor is the better fit.
You need the editor without the print plumbing
Pixelixe ships an API for embedding the editor anywhere. PrintIntegrator's editor is paired with the print-production stack; we don't sell the editor standalone.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does PrintIntegrator cost?
One flat plan: the Professional plan is $19/month (or $190/year — two months free). It includes unlimited storefronts, products, orders, and users, plus the full ERP, AI design tools, and 3D preview.
There's a 15-day free trial (no credit card) and a custom Enterprise plan from $199/month for teams that need on-premise hosting, white-label, or dedicated support.
Is this a Shopify app or a theme?
App. PrintIntegrator for Shopify is a public app you install from the Shopify Admin. It injects the designer into your product pages without overwriting your theme.
You can use any Shopify theme — Dawn, Sense, Refresh, or a custom theme.
What file formats can customers upload?
Customer uploads: JPG, PNG, SVG, PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, BMP, GIF. Preflight runs automatically on upload — checks resolution, color mode, embedded fonts, and bleed.
Output formats (what your press receives): print-ready PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-4, TIFF, or PNG depending on your press requirements.
