Features

Nest Pro features for true-shape nesting, Auto Bleed, asset management and production output

Nest Pro combines the Illustrator production tools used throughout a job—from preparing artwork and bleed to organising assets and arranging finished pieces for output. The two suites share a production-first approach, with specialist MX tools available in MX Nest Pro.

Professional true-shape nesting

Arrange irregular artwork using its real outline instead of relying on rectangular bounding boxes. Preview the proposed nest before applying it and keep control over the production layout.

Auto Bleed and artwork protection

Register finished-size parts, apply controlled bleed and preserve an original-size cut path for each prepared piece. Artwork Protection is available when complex clipped artwork needs additional handling.

Production workspace

Keep common units, artboard sizes, defaults and production settings in one predictable workspace. This reduces repeated setup and helps jobs move through the same preparation process.

Assets, templates and colour libraries

Organise reusable logos, artwork, templates and production colours close to the Illustrator artboard. MX Nest Pro adds motocross-focused templates, number styles, plastics and colour libraries.

Multi-copy preparation and cut paths

Create the production quantities a job needs, organise the resulting artwork and transfer cut-line information as part of a repeatable output workflow.

Save Reminder

Choose a reminder interval and receive a clear visual prompt when saving is due. Saving remains manual, so the operator decides when the Illustrator file is ready to be saved.

Mac and Windows support

Both Nest Pro software suites are available for Mac and Windows. A main licence includes one active machine, with additional-machine licences available separately.

AVAILABLE IN BOTH NEST PRO SUITES · MATERIAL CONTROL

Material usage, waste and job-cost calculator

Both MX Nest Pro and Nest Pro Graphics Production Suite calculate practical production figures after every completed true-shape nest. Enter the cost and full length of your print-media and laminate rolls once, then use the results to see how much material the job consumed and how efficiently the available print area was used.

  • Media length and area used by the nested job
  • Material utilisation and waste percentages
  • Print-media and laminate roll percentages used
  • Print, laminate and combined material cost for the job

Choose metres, inches or feet. Cost values are currency-neutral, so you can enter your own local figures. Roll inputs and Nest settings stay saved on the computer; calculated job results reset when a new nest is created.
