Roll width

Roll width is the nominal cross-web width of continuous print media. It is not automatically the same as loaded, imageable, or packed usable width; printer limits, tracking, edge exclusions, marks, handling, and outer margin can reduce the production region. Compare widths using total film area, not sheet length alone.

In practice

For a roll layout, film area equals width multiplied by used length. A wider sheet can be shorter yet consume more area if the order mix does not pack into sufficiently fewer rows.

NestSheet offers roll presets from 300 to 1800 mm and custom width controls. Those are canvas options, not hardware compatibility claims; validate the entire printer, RIP, cure, handling, and finishing path.
