A Shopify app for print on demand stores. Your customer uploads a photo and the app drafts artwork from it in the styles you sell. Every version is checked against the photo, and nothing prints until your customer approves one. You never open a design tool.
From the studio that built and runs Monostroke and 3zebras. See the stores
Custom orders on a print on demand store mean a lot of email and a lot of design files.
By hand. Ask every customer for their photo after checkout, then chase the ones who forget.
With the app. They add the photo on your product page. Nobody checks out without one.
By hand. Make the artwork for each order in a design tool, then redo the weak ones.
With the app. Versions drafted for every order, in the styles you picked. Each one is checked and weak ones are redone first.
By hand. Email proofs, then wait and chase for an answer.
With the app. An email takes your customer to a private review page. If they stall, the app sends the reminders, the last one three days before the review closes.
By hand. Go back and forth over email to make changes.
With the app. They ask for changes on the review page. You set how many each order includes.
By hand. Resize, upscale, add bleed and export a print file for every product.
With the app. A 300 DPI print file with bleed, made for the exact product and size.
By hand. Upload the file to your print partner and place each order yourself.
With the app. When your customer approves, the order and file go to Gelato. Confirm the draft there, or switch drafts off and let it run.
By hand. Write status emails and paste in tracking numbers.
With the app. Your customer gets an email at each step, from order received to in production. Shopify sends the shipping email with tracking.
These start as an example. Change them to match your store.
Time back each month
These are your numbers, not a promise from us. The total is the time those steps take you each month.
Wall art, apparel, mugs, bags, phone cases or stationery. Every product goes through the same four steps.
1 They upload a photo
The upload is part of the app. Add it to your product page in the theme editor and your customer adds one clear photo.
2 Versions are drafted
In the styles you chose for that product. Each one is checked against the photo.
3 They pick their favorite
An email brings them to a private review page. They compare the versions, ask for changes and approve one.
4 It goes to print
Once your customer approves, the print file goes to your print partner to be printed and shipped.
Designers set the look and the app drafts each version from the customer's photo. You choose whether a designer also checks every proof before your customer sees it.
Designers
Ours, or the ones you already work with. They set the look of each style you sell, and we build it into the app.
The app
AI tools draft each version, and every step is engineered, from a prompt written for the style and the photo to a score on likeness, style and print quality. Anything that falls short is drafted again before anyone sees it.

Our team's review, your customer's phone and your order page. Shown with a demo store and a sample order of three versions.
Every style is prepared for the product it goes on. Full-bleed on a gallery canvas, inside a frame for a poster, wrapped around a mug, cut clean for a t-shirt. Pick a style to see it, made from our own phone photos.
The car someone restored. The house they grew up in. A child's birthday card in their own hand, or a 200-year-old family recipe. Monostroke sells Editorial Ink style, Architectural Ink style and Exact Mark today, and the other styles here are its earlier studies. Your store can sell them all.
Soft Watercolor
Airy color washes held together by fine ink lines.
Editorial Ink style
Charcoal contour and one restrained wash taken from the body color.
Precision Line
Clean black line work on white, like a technical drawing.
Architectural Ink style
Even dark lines on a white field, like an architect's elevation.
Quiet Architectural Wash
Fine lines with soft, see-through color.
Heritage Etching
Sparse engraved bands, like a plate print of the facade.
One Ink Estate
A single terracotta ink with a few flat accents.
Exact Mark, recipe card
Charcoal on warm white, for a card worth keeping.
Exact Mark, recipe page
A whole page, framed like a letter.
Exact Mark, short note
A few words in charcoal with plenty of white around them.
These join the styles above, and Monostroke sells Watercolor style too. You choose which ones each product offers.

Shopify store design and build
We design and build your Shopify store, then fill it. Product imagery, copy and content made to one standard, so the catalog looks like a brand and not a supplier feed.
Personalized products, set up for you
Your customers upload a photo and order it as art in a style you chose. We install and set up the app, agree the styles with you, and you pick how orders run.
Meta ads with creative made in-house
Campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, run by the people who make the creative, so the ads and the feed look like one brand.
Semi-automated
Designs are drafted automatically and a designer reviews each one before your customer sees it. That designer can be ours, or yours once we set the app up for them, and then they can also make designs from scratch. Every step is tracked in the app.
Automated
Every version is still checked. Once your customer approves, the order and print file go to Gelato as a draft for you to confirm, or straight through if you switch drafts off.
Two live stores we built and run. We designed both and make the imagery in them.
Framed portraits and keepsakes Live
Monostroke turns the buyer's own photo of a house or a car, or a loved one's real handwriting, into framed art. We made the brand, built the theme and set the styles. Our app drafts each portrait and never redraws handwriting. The founder checks every proof against the buyer's photo, and nothing prints until the buyer approves it.
Womenswear boutique Live
3zebras was born at a street market, and we run it online. We built the Shopify store and keep it in shape, and we make the product and on-model imagery, the social content, the Meta ads and the short films.
Amigas A 21-second film for the fall collection. Four friends walk an ink-line city, and each piece they wear turns real with its name and price.
