 New Cut FeaturesView and Change Vinyl Cutting Order: Speed up your cutting with the Cut Order tool. See the pattern in which design objects will be cut, and change the order manually or let Flexi Design optimise for best speed. This tool also optimises the starting point of cutting for each object, which further reduces your production time on complex vinyl cut jobs.
Animated Cut Viewer Tool: See exactly how your designs will cut before actually cutting with the new cut preview tool in Flexi Design. The animated preview quickly shows you all blade and cut movements for a single or all vinyl colour layers.
 New Design Features
Artwork Approval Tool: Save time and get designs approved quicker using Flexi’s new Artwork Approval tool. Send designs directly to customers so they can review and comment on the artwork through their web browser. Your SAi Cloud account automatically tracks each approval project and revision, as well as notifies you when customers have reviewed or approved artwork.
QR and Data Matrix Code Generation: The new QR Code Creator in Flexi Design makes it fast and easy to add interactive elements to your customer’s signage. The new tool automatically converts text into a QR code of the correct type for web links, email addresses, phone numbers and SMS messages. Also create Data Matrix codes for customers needing inventory labels. Both the QR and Data Matrix Code creators work seamlessly with Flexi’s Auto Serialization Tool, allowing fast and easy creation of a series of codes for variable-data print jobs.
 New Production Manager Features
Banner and Canvas Finishing Tools: Dramatically reduce your time finishing pop-up banners, hanging banners and canvas artwork. With these new tools you can prepare all finishing aspects of banners – including grommet marks, folds, stitch marks and bleeds in a matter of seconds. This especially saves you finishing time on longer print runs where you would have manually marked grommets. Also use the auto-bleed and marks for quick preparation of canvas jobs.
Quick View in Production Manager: Get a faster view of your jobs in queue with the improved Production Manager interface. Click on a job to see a thumbnail preview along with the job’s details.
Job Nesting Alignment Tools: New one-click alignment controls give you fast job nesting placement across roll or sheet-fed media. Nest a group of jobs on the right, center or left of your media. Also align jobs along their edges for faster and easier cutting.
Choke and Bleed for Metallic and White Ink Printing: Print with metallic and white inks more easily with new settings to apply Choke or Bleed for each spot ink channel. Save even more time by saving the settings to a Preset that will automatically apply to new print jobs. This eliminates the need for time-consuming spot ink setup in design software.
CleanColour for Pure Hue Printing: The new CleanColour setting produces more accurate, vibrant colours when using the Pure Hue feature in Production Manager. Without CleanColour, the Pure Hue feature turns off colour management for single, double and grey ink channel combinations. Using CleanColour gives you prints with more vibrant reds, greens and blues than you would get with colour management alone.
Smoother Print Gradients Using Stochastic Dot Pattern: Get smoother gradients when you print with the new “Stochastic 2” dot pattern. Especially notice smoother PDF and Postscript gradients on larger prints, like big vehicle and mural graphics, without decreased RIP speed performance.
Automated Job Tiling: Get increased automation and produce tiled print jobs quicker by applying Presets that can now include job tiling settings. You can now save even the most complex tiling setup and apply it to new print jobs automatically.
Updated PANTONE+ Spot Colour Library (New Colours): Make your spot colour matching easier with the updated PANTONE COLOuR MATCHING SYSTEM library in Flexi 12. Since 2012, PANTONE has added hundreds of new colours to their library and swatch books, which designers and print buyers expect will match on your wide-format inkjet printers. This library update includes all of these latest colours and works automatically with Production Manager’s spot colour matching feature.Cloud Window: SAi Flexi installs locally on your computer, but now has a convenient window full of web-based tools, convenient links and more.
