Inkprep requires an Inkprep Pro subscription to use the app. It offers a monthly and a yearly plan with auto-renewal. You can cancel anytime from your Apple ID settings. Inkprep is the booth tool for tattoo artists who work in color. You upload the clean digital design, choose the ink brand you work with and your client's skin tone. Inkprep returns the exact palette: which bottles you need and, when no single bottle matches, which mix to make and in what ratio. HOW IT WORKS 1. Upload the clean design (PNG, JPG or WEBP). 2. Choose your ink brand and the skin tone. 3. Get the color recipe in seconds. WHAT'S INCLUDED ยท 1,105 bottles from 6 brands: Eternal Ink, Intenze, Dermaglo, World Famous, Radiant and Solid Ink. ยท Recommended bottle for every color in the design. ยท Suggested mixes at 70/30, 50/50 and 30/70 ratios when there's no direct match. ยท Color loupe: zoom into any area of the design and see the assigned ink. ยท My Inks: save your real inventory and prioritize what you already have in the studio. ยท Browsable catalog with filters by brand, color family and search. ยท Project history and favorites. ยท Optimized for tablet: design on the left, recipe on the right. NOT GENERATIVE AI Color matching is deterministic and traceable: LAB color space and Delta E distance over each brand's real catalog. The same colors always give the same result. Nothing is made up. WHO IT'S FOR For tattoo artists who tattoo in color and want to stop improvising the palette by eye in front of the client. You prep the session before you start. SUBSCRIPTION Inkprep Pro unlocks unlimited analyses. Monthly or yearly subscription, auto-renewing. Cancel anytime from your Apple ID settings.

As a tattoo artist, I print large-scale designs almost every day. I always wondered why such a simple task still required large desktop applications. There was no straightforward tool that made the process easy on an iPad. So I built ScalePrint for my own workflow. Choose an image, enter the desired height in centimeters, and ScalePrint automatically places it across multiple A4 pages while preserving the correct proportions. You can move and rotate the design before printing, so it sits exactly where you need it. I wanted the app to be as simple as possible: no complicated menus, no unnecessary settings, and no previous printing or design experience required. ScalePrint is useful for: โ€ข Tattoo artists preparing full-size stencils โ€ข Designers and illustrators โ€ข Posters, templates and reference drawings โ€ข Anyone who needs to print an image at an accurate physical size Main features: โ€ข Exact print size in centimeters โ€ข Automatic A4 page tiling โ€ข Preserved image proportions โ€ข Adjustable position and rotation โ€ข Clear page grid preview โ€ข Simple and focused interface ScalePrint started as a tool that solved a problem in my own daily work. I hope it makes your workflow easier too. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
