3. Creating a Project

The New Project wizard walks you through pricing a job from start to finish. By the end, you'll have a full cost breakdown and a recommended price with a profit margin.

Open it from New Project in the menu. The wizard has three tabs across the top: Editor, Templates, and Materials.


The Editor tab (4 steps)

Step 1 - Print settings

Choose how the piece is printed: ink mode, alignment, and ink usage per color channel.

Wizard step 1: print settings

Multiple craft faces: If Multiple craft modes is turned on (in Settings > Preferences > Features - on by default), you can add more than one craft face to a single project, each with its own print mode and ink usage. Handy for double-sided or multi-part pieces.

Step 2 - Details

Enter the name, quantity, notes, and any project details.

Step 3 - Materials (BOM)

Add the materials used (your "bill of materials"). Pick from your Materials Library or type items in. Each line adds its cost to the total.

Step 4 - Pricing

See the full COGS breakdown (ink + materials + machine + labor + overhead), set your sell price, and watch the margin badge update live.

Wizard step 4: pricing and margin

Click Save to create the project.

Note: Prices come from your Settings. If your numbers look off, check ink costs, labor, and overhead there first.
