Settings
Configure global default settings for the Print Editor including rulers, DPI warnings, font availability, and custom upload behavior.
The Editor Settings page controls global defaults that affect how the Print Editor behaves for all products on the current storefront. These settings determine visual defaults like ruler display and proof behavior, image quality thresholds, which fonts are available to customers, and how print-ready file uploads are handled.
Settings configured here apply at the storefront level. Individual product settings may override some of these defaults where applicable.
- From your Unified Admin, go to Print Editor > Settings.
- Adjust the settings described below.
- Click Save to apply changes.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Show rulers by default | When enabled, rulers are displayed along the top and left edges of the Print Editor canvas by default. Customers can still toggle rulers on or off within the editor. Stored as the ShowRulers property on the storefront. |
| Hide non-final items when proofing | When enabled, canvas items that are not marked as "final" (e.g., placeholder images, guide layers) are hidden in the proof view. This gives customers a cleaner preview of their finished product. Stored as the HideItemsInProof property on the storefront. |
| Send print-ready file uploads in Print Store to Print Editor | When enabled, customers who upload a print-ready file through the Print Store's upload page are redirected to the Print Editor for further editing instead of proceeding directly to checkout. This allows customers to review and adjust their uploaded files before ordering. |
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Font List | A multi-select dropdown that controls which font libraries are available to customers in the Print Editor. Select one or more font libraries to make their fonts accessible in the editor's text tools. Font libraries are managed separately in the Font Files section. The selection is stored as FontMap records linking the storefront to font library IDs. |
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Warning DPI | The minimum DPI (dots per inch) threshold for uploaded images. When a customer places an image that falls below this DPI at its current size on the canvas, the editor displays a quality warning. Set to 0 or leave empty to disable DPI warnings. The server-side rendering process also uses this value to validate image quality before generating print-ready files. |
| DPI Buffer | A percentage buffer applied to the Warning DPI threshold (0-100). This provides a tolerance range so that images slightly below the warning DPI are not immediately flagged. For example, with a Warning DPI of 300 and a DPI Buffer of 20, images are not warned until they fall below 240 DPI (300 minus 20%). Defaults to 20 if left empty. |
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Use legacy clipart functionality | When enabled, the Print Editor uses the legacy clipart swap behavior where dragging an element (clipart) onto an existing image replaces it. When disabled, the modern behavior is used where elements are added to the canvas without replacing existing items. |
| Disable automatic thumbnail generation | When enabled, the system does not automatically generate product thumbnails from the editor canvas. Use this if you prefer to manage product thumbnails manually or if automatic generation causes performance issues. |
| Custom Upload Lock | When enabled, customers cannot move, resize, or rotate images they upload through the custom upload workflow. The uploaded image is locked in place on the canvas according to the Custom Upload Fit setting. |
| Custom Upload Fit Types | Controls how customer-uploaded images are positioned on the canvas in the custom upload workflow.
Center (default): The uploaded image is centered on the canvas at its original size.
FitToMask: The uploaded image is scaled to fit within the designated image mask or placeholder area on the canvas. |
| Area | Effect |
|---|
| Canvas Display | The ShowRulers setting controls whether rulers are visible when the editor loads. The HideItemsInProof setting controls item visibility in the proof view. |
| Image Quality Warnings | The WarningDPI and DpiBuffer values are sent to the Editor UI and used by the image item rendering logic to flag low-resolution images with a visual warning indicator. |
| Clipart Behavior | The legacyClipartSwap configuration is read by the Editor UI's ConfigService and passed to the canvas. When enabled, dragging images or elements onto existing items triggers a swap. When disabled, the modern non-swap behavior applies. |
| Area | Effect |
|---|
| Custom Upload Page | The CustomUploadFit and CustomUploadLock settings control how uploaded images are placed on the canvas when customers use the file upload workflow (upload.aspx). Center mode places images at their original size; FitToMask scales them to fill the template placeholder. |
| Print-Ready File Redirect | The CustomUploadEditing setting determines whether print-ready file uploads are routed to the Print Editor for review or proceed directly through the checkout process. |
| Image Quality Validation | The WarningDPI value stored on the storefront is also used during server-side rendering in the ProductService to validate image resolution before generating print files. |
