# InkFE

> InkFE is a US print shop for custom business cards and other printed products. People can order InkFE business cards through their AI assistant: the assistant personalizes a designer-made template, shows proofs of both sides, waits for the customer's approval and hands over a Shopify checkout with the print-ready file attached.

## Order business cards with an AI assistant

- Works in Claude (web) and Muse today. Any other AI app that supports remote MCP connectors can connect with the same endpoint. ChatGPT support is coming soon.
- Open to everyone. No invitation or waitlist. Guests can design and start checkout without an account; signing in with an InkFE account saves a design to that account.
- Ships to addresses in the United States. Quotes are in US dollars; Shopify shows shipping, tax and the final total before payment.
- The customer approves both proofs in the chat. Payment happens on Shopify checkout, not inside the chat (in-chat checkout is not available yet).
- Designs come from templates made by designers, not generated by AI.
- Available today: InkFE Essential business cards. Other products are browsable and link to their product pages.

## Coming next (not available yet)

- More products through the same flow: postcards, flyers, greeting cards, table tents, fine-art prints, feather flags and event tents.
- Artwork made by the assistant's own image tools, and finished files sent from the customer's computer.
- Direct postcard mailing to a list of addresses.
- Checkout inside the chat, where AI apps support custom-printed products.
- Saved-design reorders and order tracking in chat.

## Free tools

- Printing a business card made in ChatGPT: https://www.inkfe.com/guides/chatgpt-business-cards — how to download the image from ChatGPT, upload it to the InkFE Designer, use Fill so it covers the card, and check bleed (1/16 in per edge), the safe area and spelling before ordering, plus copy-and-paste prompts that produce flat, edge-to-edge, wide (3:2) card designs.
- Print size calculator: https://www.inkfe.com/guides/print-size-calculator — drop a photo (it is read in the browser, never uploaded) or enter its pixel size to see the effective PPI at any print size, quality by viewing distance (300/200/150/100 PPI targets), what Fit vs Fill trims, a 2-inch actual-size loupe, and the largest sharp print. Shareable links carry numbers only. Worked examples and an FAQ explain PPI vs DPI, fit vs fill, bleed and resampling.
