What RIP / Colour Management / Workflow tools will you see at the event ?

- FieryXF Layout & Cut Path
Increase productivity, reduce waste, save costs and eliminate errors with this integrated Layout Option for FieryXF.
Creating a cutting path takes a lot of work and time in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. This layout option makes life much easier. Specific tools allow you to create and clean up cutting contours based on the image shape, even on pixel data including JPEG, TIFF, PDF and image EPS file formats ( Gray & CMYUK ).
When the cut contour runs exactly along the edge of the graphics, false registrations between print and cut can cause small white lines. To prevent this, the Layout option comes with an automatic bleed generation tool. The technology is so powerful that is will clone image pixels if there is no image data available.
Based on the quantity specified for every design, the Layout option will optimise the sheet. Depending on the job, the Layout option can create advanced nestings that are setup for minimum waste or minimum layout. The minimum waste option optimises substrate usage, whereas the minimum layout option tries to reduce the number of cut paths.
When working with irregular shapes, the Layout option will optimise the sheet by nesting the design based on their cut contours. This is unique as most other software applications will use the bounding box of the design, which results in material waste. The process can be further optimised by searching for sheets that can be re-used multiple times. That means there’s less time spent on RIPing the file and on setting up the cutting table.
When working with double sided jobs, a reverse side will be generated automatically or you can choose a design for the back. This process can be automated if the front and back are available in a multi-page PDF file. The Layout option offers automatic nesting, creation of reverse side layouts and synchronisation of front and reverse sides.
