FAQ

With Flexi DESIGN, you can create artwork for print, print and cut, banners, stickers, DTF, DTG, traffic signage and more regardless of what RIP software you use. It can be an accompaniment to a Flexi Subscription as well as connect to third party RIPs for printing. 

 

Can I print or cut with Flexi DESIGN?

Flexi DESIGN is a desin-only application and does not include the Production Manager RIP functionality. 

SAi Flexi Complete subscription includes RIP and Print functionality as well as the DESIGN interface.

 

Due to programming differences, there are a few tools that are not included with the macOS version:

  • True Shape Nesting
  • Adobe Plugin Support (which includes EyeCandy/Exposure functionality)
  • Some Vectorising tools as seen in the Bitmap > Vectorize menu (Bezier, Enhanced Curves, Enhanced Corners, Centerline) 

 

Flexi DESIGN can import and export most file types including .eps, .ai, .pdf, .jpg, .tif, .dxf, .bmp and more. 

 

Sign Design Elements and FindMyFont are both included in your subscription. 

Every SAi Cloud account receives 5 free downloads at Sign Design Elements. 

Due to programming complications, FindMyFont is only compatible with the Windows version but macOS users still have access to FindMyFont by logging in on any Windows computer to get started.
