Ink Reduction; Nesting - Oce CS 5090 User Manual

Ink reduction

Ink reduction lets you reduce the percentage of ink laid down by the printer.
This feature applies only to HPGL/2 format images (vector-based images) and
has no effect on continuous tone images. It is especially useful for images with
large amounts of printed area and helps to avoid bleeding or oversaturating the
media. It does, however, change the appearance of colours, so you may want
to run a small test print.

Nesting

The 'Nesting' function can save media by printing multiple prints across the
horizontal width of the media. It also reduces the time required to print
multiple prints.
When you enable this function, the printer accumulates HP-GL/2 files in a
'nest'. Printing begins when one of the following occurs:
The 'nest' is full, when no other image can fit across the media
