You can open one clean image from the menu or drag it into NXRIP. The larger time saving appears when the job arrives as a mixed bundle and the operator should not have to unpack and rebuild it item by item.
Start with the order, not a perfect-file assumption
NXRIP accepts supported raster artwork as individual files and can also bring in a batch. This keeps intake consistent whether the customer sent one design or an order with several designs and quantities.
Send the archive straight to RIP
A supported ZIP archive can be opened without manually extracting every artwork file first. When your workflow creates a new nest, the extracted items can move directly into that job.
When filename copy extraction is enabled, markers such as copies 20 or 20 copies can set the quantity during import. The operator should still review the resulting item list before production.
Receive
The customer sends images, a ZIP, folder, or PDF.
Import
Open it, drag it in, or use a configured Hot Folder.
Inspect
Review extracted items, PDF pages, quantities, and warnings.
Nest
Build the sheet with the approved items and copy counts.
PDFs, folders, and Hot Folder follow the same model
A multi-page PDF can be split into separate print items, while a folder can be imported as a batch. A configured Hot Folder can pick up supported incoming files automatically. These routes reduce clicks; they do not remove the final operator review.
Import is the beginning of preflight
Some customer files are too small, have soft transparency, include unnecessary empty margins, or need a real production decision. NXRIP keeps those issues in the same flow instead of treating a successful file open as proof that the artwork is ready.
