Our Story

Our Story

PrintNavi was built to make printing in Japan easier to order, easier to understand, and easier to trust; especially for customers who want clear options in English and Japanese.

We focus on a simple experience: clear product options, transparent pricing, practical guidance for preparing print data, and support when you need it. Whether you’re ordering for the first time or you place print orders regularly, PrintNavi is designed to help you order with confidence.

What PrintNavi is built for

Clear pricing, fewer surprises

Clear pricing, fewer surprises

Product prices are shown upfront based on the options you choose (size, paper, finishing, quantity). You can compare combinations without starting over, so it’s easier to find the right balance of cost and quality.

A bilingual experience (English / Japanese)

A bilingual experience (English / Japanese)

From product pages to support, we aim to make the full ordering flow usable in both languages; so you can focus on your print order, not the interface.

  2. Get pricing instantly based on your selections
  3. Upload your print file
  4. Review and confirm your proof (when applicable)
  5. Production starts after confirmation
  6. Your order ships and is delivered

Print file checks and proofing support

Printing issues usually come from small data mistakes: missing bleed, low resolution images, incorrect color settings, etc.
PrintNavi is set up to catch problems early:
- We provide checks and guidance so you can fix common issues before printing
- If something needs attention that isn't safe to assume, we'll flag it before production continues

Guides, templates, and practical help

We're building a library of resources to help you order faster and make fewer mistakes:
- How to order online
- Delivery and turnaround notes
- File setup guides (bleed, outlines, color mode, resolution, etc.)
- Downloadable templates (where available)

Artworking, Design Services

If you don't have print-ready data, we offer support options depending on what you need:
- Design services (creating new layouts/designs)
- Artworking / data adjustment (non-creative fixes to make files print-ready)
- Details, pricing, and scope are listed on the Design Services page.

Sustainability

Where available, we aim to provide paper options sourced from responsible forestry and continue expanding practical, lower-impact choices over time. Specific paper details vary by product, so please check each product page for the latest options.
