Print & Cut

Optitex Print & Cut enables end-to-end, on-demand production by printing and cutting garment pieces on a single fabric roll. It reduces inventory, fabric and ink usage, and accelerates throughput for micro-factories and small-batch orders. The solution integrates with Optitex PDS and Marker to generate print and cut files, supporting both direct-to-fabric and sublimation workflows.

Features

• Single-roll print-and-cut workflow combining multiple patterns and orders
• Realignment of graphics per garment size for optimal placement
• Five-step process: pattern creation, graphic prep, marker building, printing, cutting
• Optimized nesting via Optitex Marker for maximum yield
• Supports on-demand scenarios like custom logos and mixed orders
• Compatible with sublimation and direct printing

Capabilities

• Reduce roll inventory by printing on blank fabric instead of pre-printed rolls
• Consolidate multiple orders and sizes in one pass for higher efficiency
• Generate production-ready markers and Print & Cut output directly from Optitex Marker
• Apply automated or manual nesting and orientation rules
• Integrate graphic preparation in Adobe Illustrator for accurate placement
• Scale from sampling and micro-factories to small-batch commercial runs

Benefits

• Significant material and cost savings through reduced fabric and ink waste
• Faster production cycles with combined single-roll operations
• Lower inventory costs by eliminating pre-printed rolls
• Improved fabric utilization and yield with advanced nesting
• Accelerated time-to-market for personalized and small mixed orders
• Efficiency gains compared to traditional print-and-cut methods
