Outs

Updated March 21, 2023

By default the system will calculate and display the best possible number of "Untrim/Sig Flats" out of the Press Sheet and the best number of Press Sheets out of the Parent Sheet.

 

For example;

Bleed Horiz. : 0.125

Bleed Vert. : 0.125

Finished Size : 1.5 x 5

Press Sheet : 15x19

Grain Critical : Checked

No Swing : Checked

Gripper : 0.5

Side G. : 0.5

 

The formula would be:

Number Around = ( Press Sheet Width - Gripper ) / ( Finished Size Width + ( Bleed Horiz. * 2) )

Number Across = ( Press Sheet Length - Side G. ) / ( Finished Size Length + ( Bleed Vert. * 2 ) )

Number out = Number Around * Number Across

 

or

Number Around = integer ( ( 15 - 0.5 )  /  (1.5 + ( 0.125 * 2 ) ) )

Number Around = 8

 

Number Across = integer ( ( 19 - 0.5 )  /  ( 1.5 + ( 0.125 * 2 ) ) )

Number Across = 3

 

Number out = 8 x 3

Number out = 24

 

 

This will yield 24 out (4x3) with a layout that looks like this.
