Fiery Prep-it

A serious print-to-cut hub: free-angle true-shape, hot folders, PDF to any RIP. Server requirements (i7, 16 GB, NVMe) say this is not SaaS. Price about $3,000.

Updated 28 August 2026. NestPrintCut editorial — the team that builds RolCut. Scores follow the public method. We do not run a 200-roll lab we have not run.

Prep-it is Fiery’s answer to the same question as PrimeCenter and Griffin: prepare print-for-cut, nest on the shape, hand back a PDF and a table path. The server doc (4 cores, 16 GB, 1 TB NVMe) is honest — this is floor software, not a salesperson’s laptop.

When to take it

When you already have Fiery or a mix of RIPs and tables and you need one nesting seat. When not: when the job is “14 files on a 159 roll and cut.pdf today”. Then the Windows server is a cost, not a feature.

Pros and cons

  • Free-angle true-shape; Fiery claims >10% vs peers
  • Joins mixed RIPs and table controllers
  • Automation and predefined workflows
  • Duplex layouts
  • A Windows server — not a browser account
  • Deployment closer to PrimeCenter than RolCut
  • Reseller pricing, not self-serve
  • Too much machine for rectangular wallpaper

Questions
