SAi (Salt Lake City, Utah) has released Flexi 21, calling it “the most feature-rich version of its flagship sign-making software.” The 64-bit RIP system is engineered to meet the demanding design-to-production challenges of sign & display and large-format print providers for both novice and more advanced users, while continuing to be highly productive with fast processing speeds. SAi Flexi is the industry leader for creating a variety of applications such as vehicle wraps, banners, signs, soft signage and much more. With a low monthly operating cost, an SAi Flexi subscription includes free software upgrades, e-mail and phone support, and all the design and other production features. SAi’s Flexi 21 design and RIP print software now supports multi-layer/white and varnish ink layered printing. With this tool, Flexi can generate white or varnish ink on the fly or from the white layer in a predefined design. Users can control how the ink is printed in both the Flexi Design and Flexi RIP Production Manager functions. This “sandwich” mode printing supports printing multiple layers – for example, a bottom layer of white, colour in the middle and varnish on top. With the ability to preview the white channel beforehand, users save RIP and print time and avoid wasting materials.
