Appreciate that — and you’ve nailed the core misunderstanding perfectly.
AI isn’t a magic wand for print shops. It’s a very fast, very consistent diagnostic and decision-support tool. The real gains come when it’s applied to quoting, file checks, SOPs, troubleshooting, and workflow analysis — not when people expect it to “run the shop for them.”
Used correctly, it saves hours and reduces mistakes. Used incorrectly, it just adds noise.
Regarding AI in print shops, you nailed the practicle application. So many expect a magic wand, not a very smart diagnostic tool.
