How print files flow

When a customer places a personalized order:

1. PIMW Product Personalizer generates the print file (PNG with transparency, sRGB, 150-300 DPI per product spec)
2. Line-item property with the print file URL attaches to the Shopify order
3. Printful's Shopify integration reads the order + property
4. Printful production picks up the print file automatically
5. Product ships to your customer

No manual copy-paste. No email back and forth. Zero-touch fulfillment.
