Production Editor

For professional wide format printing and sign making, the Production Editor option offers extensive functionalities such as tiling, eyelet placement, white ink handling and more. The PrintFactory Production Editor provides full control to come up with any type of tiling, defining white space in overlaps, bleed per panel, panel numbering and allows to save it as a template for fully automated tiling on jobs with the same tiling scheme. The Production Editor gives the operator the freedom to define where to print white ink or varnish from any object or on a whole job. This option will add to the standard editor, which is already included in the base product, a wide range of editing, drawing and production tools. Via the license server the functionalities are scalable from a single user/one printer set-up to a cross-platform/multi-user networked environment.

Finishing Tool
This tool makes applying finishing elements like folds and tunnels for flags and grommets for banners a breeze. You can freely set folds, extra bleed, grommets and fold lines to the design.

Combine Tool
The new Combine Tool introduces True Shape Nesting. On Step-and-Repeat jobs, True Shape Nesting will detect the actual edges of an object and optimizes the media usage based on the actual shape of the object rather than its bounding box.

Preflighting
Preflighting checks color space, text size, image resolution and other aspects of a file before sending it to production. The PrintFactory Editor allows you to create checklists and reports, and fixes errors when opening a file, avoiding expensive mistakes or other quality issues not immediately visible on screen.
