To use the Metrix software, you must activate the Metrix software license on the Fiery server. Users have an option to choose between of two types of licenses, Metrix Standard or Metrix Premium.

Metrix Standard is a basic version that works with a single Fiery server. With a license for Metrix Standard, the user can open a single job at a time in the Metrix Quick Impose window. Users of Metrix Standard have access to Auto Layout, a feature that optimizes substrate usage with minimum user interaction.

Metrix Premium has the capability of working with multiple presses and enables the user to open multiple jobs simultaneously. Users of Metrix Premium have access to the Auto Plan and Auto Production features. Auto Plan is an extension of the Auto Layout feature, wherein users can simultaneously process multiple jobs. Auto Production distributes jobs across multiple presses, depending on the capabilities of the press.
