Use Esano files for print-on-demand

Updated

Choose the Extended license for print-on-demand. It's the one Esano license that names print-on-demand stores, and it has no unit cap.

What the licenses say

  • Extended: "Everything in Commercial with no unit cap, including print-on-demand stores."
  • Commercial: "client work and in products you sell, up to 5,000 units across all products." It doesn't mention print-on-demand.
  • Personal: doesn't allow selling anything made with the files.

Because only Extended names print-on-demand, Extended is the license to buy if a print-on-demand service prints and ships your products.

What counts as print-on-demand

Print-on-demand means a store lists products, such as shirts, mugs or posters, with your design on them. The service prints each product when someone orders it. The Extended license text names print-on-demand stores. It doesn't list brands or services.

What you still can't do

Extended doesn't allow you to resell, share or redistribute the original files as they are. In a print-on-demand store, the product shows the design. Your customers don't receive the file.

Don't offer the file itself as a download, in a free pack or in an AI training set. See Can I share or resell files I bought?.

Steps to buy the right license

  1. Open the listing page.
  2. Check that Extended appears under Choose a license.
  3. Select Extended.
  4. Select Add to cart or Buy it now.

If you already bought Commercial

The Commercial license text doesn't name print-on-demand. Before you list products in a print-on-demand store, ask the shop whether your license covers it. Keep their answer in your Esano messages. If the shop isn't clear, don't use the file in a print-on-demand store.
