Ultimate TechnoGraphics Announces Nesting Optimization Engine

Press release from the issuing company

Montreal, Canada - Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc., leader in imposition and finishing automation software, is proud to announce its new Nesting Optimization Engine, the newest addition to its Impostrip® suite of automated imposition software.

“Automation drives results” in printing. Bringing to market innovative solutions to automate the tedious and error prone tasks of imposition and finishing make-ready is what distinguishes Ultimate’s software solutions in the graphics communications marketplace. With the newest addition of a Nesting Optimization Engine, Ultimate is now offering new levels of automation and optimization for the wide format, commercial print packaging and label markets.

Impostrip®’s Nesting Optimization Engine enables a commercial PSP to nest labels, foldable boxes for marketing campaigns, in-store displays, stickers of all shapes and sizes, banners, and more. The nested files can run on a wide format device as well as a digital press, flatbed -cut-sheet or roll.

“Impostrip®’s Nesting Optimization Engine is made to eliminate manual job planning and automatically produce smart, print ready layouts, rapidly and effectively, says Julie Watson, Executive Vice-President of Ultimate TechnoGraphics Inc. Today, commercial PSPs want to offer a wider range of products, going to high quality digital print devices and promoting a B2C or B2B eCommerce approach for their customers.  Impostrip® now enables these PSPs to automate and optimize all types of impositions from the same tool.”

Impostrip®’s Nesting Optimization Engine easily connects to an upstream and downstream system, just as a customer would using the software today. The Nesting Engine receives orders systematically, analyses them and automatically places the irregular shapes in the most optimal way and delivers print ready files. The automation of nesting is offered as a PDF workflow for maximum quality of output and process.

Imposition is not just about placement of content but also about marks, barcodes, tracking and finishing. Impostrip® is the most extensive and flexible tool box for imposition on the market today and offers the ability to add all the mark content and placement required for printing and finishing. From dynamic, automation driven and self-generated mark content and placement, Impostrip® insures customers are provided the tools to maximize their production.

The Impostrip® Nesting Engine is an additional module offered with Impostrip® Automation and Impostrip® Scalable. From a light workflow to a full blown hybrid workflow, Impostrip® delivers the true possibility of a hands free, lights out prepress process.

Impostrip’s Nesting Optimization Engine will be launched at drupa 2016, and will be shown at Ultimate TechnoGraphics booth D06 in Hall 8b this June 2016. For more information about Ultimate TechnoGraphics, please visit www.imposition.com.
