NXRIP treats file intake as the start of production, not just a file picker. You can still open one clean PNG from the menu or drag it into the app. That is expected. The useful part starts when the job is not one clean file sitting on your desktop.
Send the archive straight to RIP
If a customer sends a ZIP archive, you do not have to unpack it first, open every design one by one, and then rebuild the order manually. Drop the archive into NXRIP and it can extract the supported artwork for you. If your workflow is set to build a new nest, that archive can become a gang sheet right away.
Let quantities travel with the filename
Copy counts do not have to live in a separate note that someone has to retype later. When filename copy extraction is enabled, NXRIP can read markers such as copies 20 or 20 copies and apply the right quantity to each item during import.
That means one customer archive can contain different designs with different quantities, and the sheet can be built with those counts already in mind. You open the archive once, and the job is much closer to production than a loose pile of files.
Receive
The customer sends a ZIP, folder, PDF, or individual artwork files.
Drop
Open it from the menu, drag it in, or let Hot Folder pick it up.
Import
NXRIP extracts archives, can split PDF pages, and reads copy markers.
Nest
The imported items can be placed into a gang sheet with the needed quantities.
PDFs, folders, and Hot Folder fit the same idea
The same intake approach applies to multi-page PDFs and folders. A multi-page PDF can be split into separate print items. A folder can be brought in as a batch instead of forcing the operator through file-by-file work.
Hot Folder pushes this one step further. Set a watched folder, save customer files into it, and NXRIP can pick them up automatically. Archives from that folder can also be imported into a new nest, so downloading a customer ZIP from an email can be enough to get the order moving.
Bad files are handled as part of the bigger workflow
Of course, not every customer file is good. Some files are too small, some have messy transparency, some need cropping, and some need a real human decision before production. NXRIP is built with that reality in mind. File opening is only the first step; automatic DTF file preparation and preflight have their own guide.
