Save Film With N-UP (Nesting) in AccuRIP® Emerald

AccuRIP® Emerald’s N-UP (nesting) feature helps screen printers save film by automatically positioning separations for the most efficient layout. When activated, N-UP optimizes media usage by arranging artwork based on the selected film size.

Note: N-UP maximizes film space based on multiple separations from a single file. 

Example of N-UP (Nesting) in Action

An 8-color left chest design on a 4” x 4” document will:

  • Fit four across and two down on a 17” film roll.
  • Fit two prints side by side on an 8.5” x 11” sheet, continuing down the sheet as needed.
