LithoTechnics to Demonstrate Metrix-Driven Printing Automation at drupa

• Intelligent Automation – Metrix has always calculated gutters for flat work, and now intelligently calculates gutters for bound work as well, based on the trimming capabilities of the selected binding machine and the fewest number of post press cuts. This sophisticated algorithm extends Metrix Auto Layout, which can be commanded from within the Metrix interface, or can be invoked by the Metrix Automation Module. The Metrix Automation Module, which was introduced in the Fall of 2011, receives XML files in a hot folder, processes them according to job characteristics and available equipment, and pushes complete plate-ready imposition files out the other side – unattended!
