By hand vs Optimas Print

Sheet layout by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.

Placing each design one at a time takes operator time on every job, and it is easy to misplace a design or waste a sheet. A cutting error means reprinting and re-cutting the job. Optimas Print does the nesting automatically and prepares the cut file for you.

Features

Everything you need from design to cut file.

Automatic nesting

FAQ

Questions print shops ask.

What is Optimas Print?

Optimas Print is sticker nesting software for Windows. It arranges sticker designs on the sheet automatically, adds bleed and crop marks, and exports production-ready PDF or CorelDRAW files with separate cut and print layers.

Does Optimas Print work with my machine?

Optimas Print lets you set the work area to match the size of the machine you use, and its nesting, bleed, and cut settings are adjustable to fit your workflow. It exports PDF or CorelDRAW files with separate cut and print layers. To check it with your own machine and designs, book a free demo or start the 7-day free trial.

What file formats does Optimas Print export?

Optimas Print exports PDF or CorelDRAW files. Every export has separate cutting-line and printing layers.

Which operating system does Optimas Print run on?

Optimas Print runs on Windows.

How does Optimas Print help the print and the cut line up?

Every exported file keeps the printing and the cutting lines on separate layers, and Optimas Print adds crop marks at the corners of the print area automatically, so the printed sheet can be lined up before cutting.

How much does Optimas Print cost?

US$39 per PC per month, after a 7-day free trial. That's about $1.30 a day. If you'd rather not pay a subscription, a lifetime license is one payment for every PC at one shop location, with no recurring fees. Book a free demo to get the lifetime price for your shop.

Can I try Optimas Print before buying?

Yes, two ways. Start a 7-day free trial: you're only charged after the trial ends. Or book a free demo and we'll walk you through the software using your own designs, so you can see how they are nested and what the exported cut file looks like before you decide.

Can I install Optimas Print on more than one computer?

Yes. On the monthly plan, each PC is US$39 a month. A lifetime license covers every PC at one shop location, and each additional branch needs its own license. Every installation is activated with its own activation code.

What does the lifetime license include?

One payment covers every PC at one shop location, with no recurring fees. It includes free updates for every version 1.x release and a small customization for your workflow. Additional customization can be discussed on request.

Who is Optimas Print for?

Print shops, sign makers, sticker and label producers, and print-on-demand businesses: anyone who prints designs and then cuts them out of the sheet. It nests both sticker and label designs.

What is sticker nesting, or autonesting?

Sticker nesting is arranging sticker designs on a print sheet so they fit with as little wasted material as possible, ready to be printed and then cut out. Autonesting (automatic nesting) means the software does the arranging for you, instead of you positioning each design by hand.

What is print and cut?

Print and cut is a production workflow where designs are printed onto a sheet first, then cut out along a cut line around each design. Optimas Print prepares the file for both steps: it nests the designs, adds bleed and crop marks, and exports a PDF or CorelDRAW file with the print and cut layers kept separate.

What is the difference between kiss cut and die cut?

A kiss cut goes through the sticker layer only and leaves the backing intact, so the stickers stay on the sheet. A die cut goes all the way through the material, so each piece comes out on its own. Optimas Print supports both, and you choose the cut type for each job.

What is bleed, and how does Optimas Print prevent white edges?

Bleed is a margin of extra artwork around each design, so a cut that lands slightly off still lands on color. Optimas Print lets you set the bleed for every design and extends the edge colors into the bleed area automatically, so cut pieces come out clean with no white edges.
