Hello all!
I am brand new here, so if this thread should be posted elsewhere, please let me know!
We recently switched our rip software from Caldera to OnyxThrive for our flatbed Digitech Truefire printers (we'd already been using it for quite a while with our roll printers). We also have a Colex SharpCut for cutting both flatbed prints and roll prints.
One thing we've been trying to do is become more efficient in sheeting signs that have multiple different double sided artworks in one order. For example, we'll often get orders for 24x18 double sided graduation signs that are 300 different student names. This means it'll take 30 48x96 sheets, or 60 prints (front and back). Up until now, our design team has been sheeting them manually in Illustrator (sheet 10 artworks, save Side A, flip the columns, save side B, repeat 30 times), but we're trying to see if there's a better way to do it.
I know it can also technically be done in OnyxThrive using the layout tool, but it seems to be much faster to do it in Illustrator. We're still learning OnyxThrive though, so if any of you use it for double sided flatbed printing and have any tips, we'd appreciate it! Or if there's any other tips, I'd love to hear them.
Thank you all!
