Our new Wide Format Automation Suite is a software solution especially developed for wide format printers to achieve maximum press utilization and quicker turnarounds.
The combination of a workflow management system with an extensive prepress package and innovative technologies such as nesting or tiling & paneling automates the production processes of wide and super-wide format printers. The flexible workflow management system enables wide format printers to define their production processes individually, standardize them and let them run completely automatically. The prepress package checks incoming print jobs for possible errors, corrects and normalizes them and creates error-free print files (ISO-standard compliant) for a smooth, error-free printing. Due to the high level of automation process times are significantly reduced.
After the optimization follows the nesting. The innovative nesting module intelligently arranges in only a few seconds print jobs from multiple customers in different shapes on a single sheet or roll. The combined artworks result in a ganged output that optimizes the use of the substrate, reducing the amount of waste while saving costs and improving the environmental sustainability of the production process.
The integrated Cut Line Manager accepts all cut line types and names and can automatically correct any damaged or incomplete cut lines. Missing bleed, varnish or white masks can easily be created with a fully automated process. Tiling & Paneling enables oversize formats to be divided into multiple, smaller formats for easy printing. Inksave allows you to save costly CMY inks without compromising on quality, while the direct Onyx connection makes optimized print data available to control downstream Onyx-RIPs.
The Wide Format Automation Suite lets wide and super-wide format printers benefit from the perfect interplay between printing presses and software. The result: high printing quality, high throughput as well as a high machine utilization and an efficient use of consumables and personnel resources.
The Wide Format Automation Suite consists of these 4 main elements:
Automated workflow management at its best! With OneVision's workflow management systems you can set up, standardize, automate and control your production processes easily.
