Pantone Color ID

Click any object. Get its Pantone match, ink name, and hex value instantly. The eyedropper tool you wish Illustrator had.

Full Art Analysis

Scans your entire artboard and maps every color to Pantone and ink matches in one pass. Not one object at a time. Every object at once.

Trap & Choke

Automated trapping with configurable overlap. Colors print tight on press. No more white gaps between channels.

Spot Sep Builder

One click. Each color isolated to its own film-ready layer. What used to take 20 minutes now takes 3 seconds.

Halftone Engine

LPI, angle, and dot shape controls with live preview. See halftone dots before you commit to burning a screen.

Registration Marks

5 reg-mark styles. Configurable offset. Snap to artboard or custom position. Your screen room will stop complaining. (Probably.)

COLOR
INTELLIGENCE

Click any object for its Pantone match. Or scan the entire artboard and map every color at once. 2,000+ Pantone values cross-referenced with screen print ink databases. In real time. Your ink room finally gets formulas instead of guesswork.

Color Analysis Panel

THREE
STEPS

Open Your Art

Drop any AI, EPS, or PDF into Illustrator. InkRelay reads the file, maps every color, and waits for your next move.

Prep & Separate

Color analysis, trapping, underbase generation, and spot seps. One click each. That's 80% of your pre-press done in under a minute.

Output Films

Print-ready films with reg marks, halftone dots, and ink layer names. 13 export formats. Your screen room gets exactly what it needs.

FILM OUTPUT
PERFECTED

13 export options. 5 reg mark styles. Configurable halftones. Ink layer naming. One export dialog. Films that register perfectly every time. Your screen room might actually thank you. (Don't count on it.)

Film Export Dialog

YOUR CONTEXT,
INSIDE YOUR CANVAS.

Your art department just got its own command center — without leaving Illustrator. Customer feedback, job context, revision history, and version tracking. All inside the panel you already have open.

Customer Feedback Panel

See revision requests, approval status, and customer feedback directly inside Illustrator. Reply without leaving your canvas. No more browser tabs to check revision status.

Job Browser

Search and filter Kontrol jobs from inside the plugin. Browse print locations, mockups, and current art versions. Quick-switch between jobs without closing files.

Art History & Context Popup

Auto-triggers when you open a file linked to a Kontrol job. Shows what changed since you last touched it — edits, feedback, revision requests, status changes. Never send stale art again.

Revision Notes

Add per-revision notes: "Changed year from 2025 to 2026 on front chest." Searchable, visible to any artist who opens the file later, synced to the Kontrol web dashboard.

Version Timeline

Visual timeline of every art change for a job. Who changed what, when, with thumbnails. "Mark as sent to customer" flag so you know which version they actually saw.

Floating Window

Pop the feedback panel out as a floating window that stays on top of your canvas. Work full-screen and still see incoming feedback. (Your art department just became self-sufficient.)

YOUR PRE-PRESS
JUST GOT 80% SHORTER.

Free with every Kontrol™ plan. Standalone starts at $16.58/mo. Either way, it pays for itself on your first job.
