New

  • Print Plan — a live sidebar readout that turns the current job into a screen-room plan from your shop's screen inventory: how many screens, which frame size, and a suggested mesh per plate (halftone ≈ 4.5× LPI, flat ~230, white underbase = lowest). Includes a Min Dot vs mesh hold warning, an editable shop profile (frames + mesh counts + edge clearance), and a Gang 2 plates per screen option that pairs plates 1&3 / 2&4 to halve the screen count with a wash-and-dry rest between runs.
  • Palette library — save the current inks as a reusable palette and apply it later to recolor your layers in one click (the separation is untouched). Picked by swatch preview, names optional; palettes also carry the background ink. Stored in app prefs, reusable across prints.
  • Merge plates onto one screen — per-color (and key-plate) merge with darkest color, folding same-ink layers (e.g. a black background + black layer + key) onto a single screen instead of separate overprints.

Fixed

  • Background bleed is clipped to the trim area with uneven margins, so a 100% bleed never runs into the crop-mark strip.
