The opportunity is centred on creating optimised runs on the printer or press, taking job priorities and downstream operations into account.

Of course, some believe that standard DFEs (Digital Front Ends) have the answer, unaware they could better maximise margin and minimise waste by using a dedicated layout planning software like InSoft Automation’s Imp.

Printers can generate compelling quotes with optimised print layouts and definitive fabrication costs. Running standalone print estimation and nesting software helps unlock hidden profits with its built-in intelligence.

According to Insoft, Imp is the smartest and fastest ganging engine in the world and ensures increased yield and reduced idle time.

• Nesting saves material and time: InSoft has a strong heritage of developing nesting software for the sheet metal cutting, wood cutting and stone cutting industries. But the flavour of the nesting engine used for printing is unique – it needs to evolve constantly to meet the special demands of printing.
• Innovation makes automation possible: Do you need to manually check if the customer supplied artwork has bleed? InSoft’s Imp software can automatically detect the presence or absence of bleed and then generate bleed employing various strategies like mirroring or pixel repetition. It is innovation and problem-solving techniques such as this that make real automation possible. InSoft’s Imp software is packed with innovations that address challenges and simplify complexity.
