Why shops look for a Printavo alternative

Per-user fees

Printavo includes 1–2 users and charges about $19 per extra user each month, so costs climb as you hire.

Multi-decoration orders

Jobs that mix screen printing, embroidery and DTF usually need separate quotes or workarounds.

DTF and design tools

There is no built-in DTF gang sheet builder or public customer design lab.
