Turn a finished piece into a press-sheet requirement
Build the imposed rectangle from the finished trim plus the actual bleed required on each edge.
Enter separate left/gripper, right, top and bottom unusable margins plus the gutter.
Compare 0° and 90° simple grids instead of guessing pieces per sheet.
Translate the selected yield into base and planned production sheets.
Simple N-up is a planning estimate, not a nesting engine
Grid calculations are useful for rectangular work, but a real press layout can also depend on gripper edge, side lay, creep, grain direction, finishing equipment, color bars and whether mixed orientations are allowed. Use the calculated yield as a planning baseline and verify the final production imposition separately.
