Separation Nesting is a great and easy way to save film and to turn this feature on, in Emerald flip the toggle for N-UP (Nesting).
In Emerald If using rolls, set the Media size and leave it. If using sheets and decide to change sheet size at some point just go back and let AccuRIP know so it can keep helping you nest properly; the key is to have the media size settings in AccuRIP match the film media size loaded into the printer.
With the media size set correctly, when the artwork’s artboard is half the width or smaller than the film’s printable width area AccuRIP will automatically nest as many separations as possible across the film before starting the next row across. The magic is in the math.
When using CorelDRAW open the Layout dropdown menu, select Page Size, then change the height and width to the desired size.
When ready to print, open the print window, choose AccuRIP to your printer, click the gear icon, click advanced, open the drop down menu for paper size and choose PostScript Custom Page Size, type in your artboard size then click OK until back to the print window.
From the color tab choose separations, from the Separations tab select all the colors you wish to print, then click print. This is what the printed and nested result will be.
