What's going wrong
Sellers using print-on-demand apps report that their artwork is rejected or flagged by automated design review without a clear rule or explanation. One merchant had a design turned down as too complicated, though the same artwork printed fine through another provider. Another says original designs were locked as trademark violations and orders were cancelled with no notice to them or their customers. Small brands and apparel sellers who rely on these tools lose sales and design time when they cannot learn what broke. The opportunity is a pre-submission checker that tests artwork against each vendor's printable and content rules, explains every flag, and offers an appeal path.
