'Packaging', 'Article', 'Optimization', 'Results' Steps

Two new steps display if a job was created in the "Packaging" mode: "Packaging" and "Article". The "Article" step is dropped and the "Optimization" and "Results" steps are added if "Ganging Optimiza­tion > Sheet Optimization for Packaging" is selected in "Product Part" in the job.

'Packaging' Step

When you are creating a new job, select the "Packaging" mode in the "Product Part" step. Then two steps that are relevant for the mode display: "Packaging" and "Article". These steps relate specifically to packaging.

'Optimization' Step for Packaging Jobs

This requires the "Gang & Sheet Optimizer" license.

You must enable the "Ganging Optimization > Sheet Optimization for Packaging" option in the "Prod­uct Part" step in order to use this feature.

In packaging printing, there are often cases where different articles with the same hull are to be pro­duced in varying quantities. Sheet Optimization automates these requirements taking into account the plate size, etc.

You can find a detailed description of this in Sheet Optimizations.
