STEP 1
Upload
Drop PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP, PSD, PSB, EPS, AI, PDF or SVG — up to 500 MB a file. CMYK TIFFs are normalised to sRGB with their embedded ICC respected, and the iPhone “72 dpi” lie is auto-corrected before it wastes film.
DTF prepress software
Make gang sheets our job, not yours.
DTF prepress software for print shops that print in-house: drop your artwork, auto-nest the sheet, get the white underbase right, and export files your RIP opens first try. Free tier, no card, runs in the browser.

Auto-nesting
Auto-nesting that fights for every centimetre of film.
A MaxRects-family packer lays out the whole batch: rotation 0/90°, gap and margin control, auto sheet height. You drop the folder; it does the Tetris.
White underbase
White underbase you can see before you print.
White is derived from the artwork alpha with choke from 0 to 10 px (default 2), a hard threshold by default, plus soft-hand and halftone modes — and the preview shows the exact channel your RIP will receive.
RIP-ready export
Files your RIP opens first try.
TIFF up to CMYK + 4 white + 4 varnish channels, PNG, PSD/PSB with real spot channels, PDF. Channels named W1–W8 / V1–V4 — renameable to whatever your RIP expects. Six presets in the box: MainTOP, CadLink Digital Factory, AcroRip, PhotoPRINT, SAi Flexi and Generic DTF.
How it works
Order folder in, RIP-ready file out.
Three steps, no Photoshop detour. Every screen below is the real product.
STEP 2
Nest
Auto-nest is on by default: rotation 0/90°, 2 mm gap and 5 mm margin out of the box, roll presets from 300 to 1800 mm plus custom sheets up to 2000 × 10000 mm. The film math stays on screen while you work.
STEP 3
Export
Pick a format and a RIP preset, hit export. Every render lands in your account history and stays downloadable for 72 hours — re-send the exact file the press ran.
Who it’s for
Built for shops that print in-house.
OPERATOR
Your prepress bench, in a browser
You stand at the printer and own the prepress. NestSheet takes the layout, the white channel and the export naming off your hands — and shows quiet advisory warnings instead of red-alert theatre.

Film waste you can see in metres
The film readout stays on screen in metres and m² while the sheet packs, so waste is visible before the printer runs — and the allowance is the m² you actually export, not an order count.

NestSheet was built inside a working print shop. The packer, the white channel and the export presets exist because operators needed them on real Friday batches. We ship what works on the production floor.
FAQ
Answers before you ask.
What formats can I upload?
Ten formats: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP, PSD, PSB, EPS, AI, PDF and SVG. CMYK TIFFs are normalised to sRGB using their embedded ICC profile, and 8-channel DTF TIFFs are read natively.
Does it work with my RIP?
Six presets ship in the box: MainTOP, CadLink Digital Factory, AcroRip, PhotoPRINT, SAi Flexi and Generic DTF. White and varnish channels are named W1–W8 / V1–V4 and can be renamed to whatever your RIP expects, so files open first try even on RIPs without a named preset.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — free forever, no credit card and no expiry. Free includes the complete product and 30 m² of successful exported sheets each UTC month.
Do you take a cut of my orders?
No. NestSheet is a flat subscription metered in the square metres you export — no per-order commission, no per-computer licence. Your storefront, your margin.
Where do my files live?
On EU servers (Germany). Export files are kept for 72 hours so you can re-download them, then deleted on schedule. This website uses Google Analytics cookies only with your consent — decline the banner and none are set.
Do you support UV-DTF?
Honestly: the varnish spot channel is already in the export pipeline (V1–V4 naming, 1 px default spread), and a dedicated UV-DTF mode in the UI is on the roadmap. v1 is DTF-first.
