Visual Nesting

With EFIs visual nesting function, users can choose to nest jobs manually or automatically. They can set the waiting time and indicate the minimum length of the media to be used, as well as the maximum amount of media. This function also allows for auto rotation of images.

Visual Tiling

The tiling function gives users the flexibility to automatically or manually resize images well beyond the size of the printer. Users can control the amount of overlap or gap on the X or Y axis, the number or rows and columns, the width of the rows, and the height of the columns. They can also choose to print guide markers or individual tiles, rather than an entire image.
