DescriptionFiery Prep-it makes it easy and efficient to prepare print-for-cut jobs. It can connect to many different RIP brands and cut controller solutions — providing a central hub for all your print-to-cut needs. From true shape nesting and cut path editing, through to double-sided printing and automation, it can maximize the use of your existing printing and cutting equipment. Benefits:Print more jobs on less media with highly optimized, free-angle, true shape nestingSave hours of manual prepress time with fast and easy cut path and layout preparationFocus on other tasks by fully automating nest creationMaximize the use of existing printing and cutting equipment with comprehensive connectivityAvoid expensive errors by using predefined workflows and hot foldersSee if Fiery Prep-it is the right solution for youSavings:Save more than 10% on media versus competitive true shape nesting solutionsPrepare jobs in a fraction of the time compared to manual nesting methods, plus reduce media consumption by an average of 33�crease your media usage by over 50% instead of using wasteful rectangle-based in-RIP nesting, and save on nesting timeFind out how much you can save on media costsMore economic benefits:Fiery Prep-it nests use less media, so they take less time to print, delivering more throughput from your printersIts tighter nests keep cutting times to a minimum, freeing up your cutters and routers to accept the next jobFiery Prep-it can connect to any RIP that accepts PDF files so you can utilise all available printersIts comprehensive output cut formats provide the flexibility to connect to many types of cut controllersPrep-it only uses the necessary amount of substrate by using smaller board sizes for the last “sheet” of a nestSee how Fiery Prep-it compares to other nesting methodsFeaturesFiery Prep-it is a powerful, feature-rich application that can connect to all RIPs that read PDF files, and is compatible with many different cutting tables and router types. It joins different manufacturers’ equipment together, and expands production throughput and capabilities with:True shape nesting The Prep-it free-angle true shape nesting uses the least amount of media possible for a given set of nested jobs. Nests are calculated at speed, and can contain one or multiple jobs, as well as multi–page PDFs.Double-sided nesting Produce perfectly aligned, two-sided prints from highly accurate, double-sided nests of both rectangular and irregular-shaped jobs.Presets, hot folders, and automation Set up an unlimited number of hot folders with predefined actions assigned for error free job preparation. Plus, totally “hands-off” production automation can be achieved from prepress workflow, MIS, and web-to-print solutions with JSON file “job definition” integration to Fiery Prep-it.Cut path editing Add, remove, and fine-tune cut path points with familiar editing tools, and toggle between before and after results. Merge multiple cut paths, plus generate inline or outline offset paths in seconds.Tiling and paneling Easily tile oversized rectangular and irregular-shaped jobs automatically — with no limits on size and number of panels. Perform advanced functions such as overlaps, gap, oversize/bleed, extra white area, and eyelets.Cut marks and barcodes Add a variety of cut marks and barcode types automatically, with the option to override and use manual placements.Job editing Move jobs manually or by coordinates, scale them numerically or by percentage, plus crop jobs visually. Create simple cut paths with just a few clicks.
