Production files from a Claude chat

An SVG comes with it when the art is a vector fit: flat colour, no gradients. This design has soft shading across 32 colours, so a 600 DPI PNG is the right file for it.
The brief: Vintage athletic screen-print graphic for a trail running club: a mountain ridge, a rising sun, a winding trail and the words SUMMIT STRIDE, in forest green, burnt orange and bone cream.

The whole job, not just the picture
- Make and change artwork
- Generate or edit designs on any of the four quality tiers, at the same credit prices as the app.
- Check it before it prints
- A free preflight at your print size and method: resolution, edges, transparency and fine detail.
- Get production files
- Operator fixes what preflight finds and hands back a verified 600 DPI PNG, plus an SVG when the art is a vector fit.
- Show it on a product
- Mockups on garments and products, so a customer sees the design where it will live.
- Get sign-off
- Send a proof that only your customer can approve. The agent cannot approve it for them.
- Order the prints
- Quote first, then place the order only after you approve it. Nothing is charged until you pay.

The first version has more texture, and it is a lovely image. It would also have printed a grey box around the design. Preflight is what tells the two apart before anyone runs a shirt.
