This glossary defines key terms and concepts used throughout the TronDesigner documentation.

Core definitions

Product	The base promotional item (e.g. T-shirt, mug, notebook) that can be customized with printing. May have multiple variants (colors, sizes).
Print Job	The main unit of work in TronDesigner. Contains: one product (with 1-N variants) + 1-N print motives across chosen options.
Print Option	One complete definition of a print zone + print position + print technology, with size and color constraints.
Print Motive	A specific graphic applied to a chosen print option (e.g. a company logo placed on the “front chest” via screen print).
Print Mockup	A visual outline showing a product with its print zone, usually as a flat image or outline. Used for understanding where printing can go.

Printing definitions

Printable Surface	The full area of the product (or its side) where the logo can be placed (e.g. the entire front of a notepad).
Print Position	A designated location on the product (e.g. “front chest”, “back”, “left sleeve”). A product can have multiple positions.
Print Zone	The maximum area that can be printed at a given position with a specific technology. Must fit inside the print surface.
Print Technology	The method of printing (e.g. screen printing, embroidery, pad printing, digital transfer). Defines technical limits such as max. colors or resolution.
Print Option Template	A reusable print option definition (e.g. for mugs, T-shirts, notebooks) to speed up setup of new products.
Visualization (Virtual Sampling)	A rendered 2D/3D preview of how the print motive looks on the product (in perspective, curved, realistic, etc.).
Proofreading (E-proof PDF)	A generated PDF file showing the final layout and placements of motives on products, used for approval.
Print Data	Final production files (PDFs, embroidery programs, color separations) generated for manufacturing after approval.
Print Group	A virtual grouping of multiple print jobs (e.g. to generate one proofreading PDF with several products or share one approval link).

Print Editor	The TronDesigner web editor itself – the core tool where users create, modify, and preview print jobs and motives. Can be embedded or opened standalone.
Data Selector	A dialog window within the Print Editor used to select or configure product and printing data before opening the Print Editor.
Admin Portal	The administrative interface used by internal users of the integrating company. Allows management of licenses, suppliers, product data, configuration settings, and generation of final print data.
Approval Portal (coming soon)	A branded web portal for end-customers to view, edit, and approve their print jobs.

REST API	A standardized HTTP-based interface provided by TronDesigner to programmatically access and manage data (e.g. retrieving print job data, generating proofs).
Webhooks	An event-based interface used by TronDesigner to notify external systems about important events. Webhooks are sent as HTTP requests.
Integration Script	An integration component used to embed and control TronDesigner from external systems. Handles editor initialization, data exchange, and communication between the host system and TronDesigner, and exposes its own integration-level API.
Integration Site	A lightweight web layer used when opening the Print Editor via URL-based modes. Processes URL parameters and initializes the editor in the appropriate integration context.
