Why Visualis3R?

Say Goodbye to Guesswork

  • Cost & Time Savings: Preview designs instantly, reducing expensive print tests.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Import PDFs and experiment with different print finishes in a user-friendly interface.
  • Client-Ready Visuals: Capture images or videos to share with clients or showcase on your website.
  • Endless Customisation: Fine-tune every detail to match your vision, from die-cutting to embossing.
  • Cross-Platform: Mac and PC compatible with free technical support and upgrades.



The comparison below highlights a common limitation in design tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign: specialty finishes—glitter, hot-foil stamping, silver inks/toners, and raised 3D varnish—are completely invisible during design. You can’t preview how these effects will actually look. Instead, you're left with flat spot colors, often assigned in illogical ways—such as having to color a white or spot-varnish separation cyan just so it’s visible on screen.

Visualis3R solves this. It takes your real artwork and spot-color separations and renders them in hyper-realistic detail, showing metallics, foils, glitter, tactile varnish, and so much more, exactly as they will appear in print.
