When to use Trim-O-Matik with Nest-o-Matik or Step&Repeat?

Trim-O-Matik works in parallel with Nest-O-Matik and the Standard Step&Repeat. If none of these features are activated, Trim-O-Matik is applied to the current image.

  Warning

Trimmers activation will not automatically activate Nest-O-Matik or the Standard Step&Repeat. You have to activate them separately. Please refer to their specific documentation for further information.

 

Single

When used alone, the marks are placed around the image before it is sent to the print.

Step&Repeat

With Step&Repeat (Standard mode), the marks are placed around each copy of the image.

Then the images are nested directly in the Print Module accordingly with the Trim-O-Matik and Step&Repeat settings.

Nest-O-Matik

When Nest-O-Matik is activated, the marks are not immediately applied to the image. They are applied in the Autonest created in the Spooler.

  Warning

When you change the settings of the trimmers while feeding the Autonest (activation of the module, marks changes, etc.), a new Autonest will be created in the Spooler with these new parameters.

Step&Repeat Nesting

This function allows you to nest as block repetitions of the same image made by Step&Repeat. Then, the blocks are nested together but their images will not be mixed.

Activate this option in Nest mode by checking the "Nest as block" field in the S&R tab. 

When using Trim-O-Matik, you will see that a new field appears: Marks. It allows you to choose if you want to put cutting marks around the block only, or to consider every image of the block as individual images:
