Learn how SAi Flexi makes printing variable data a snap with this step-by-step video

The market for personalized printing is growing rapidly! Print professionals need to get on board with the increased demand for customization. SAi Flexi software can help. It is the only all-in-one design, print and cut software for print providers that make creating decals with variable data, fast and simple. Without this software, you would be forced to personalize each decal manually. Flexi is the industry-standard for direct vinyl cutting, used in nearly 3 out of 4 print shops. This powerful software is also included with the HP Latex Print and Cut Solution.

The Flexi RIP software creates a barcode during the printing process, that the cutter will read and recognize and then program to create the exact pattern to cut and perforate—no additional programming is needed when moving the print job to the cutter.

To learn how to use SAi Flexi software, WATCH THIS VIDEO. We provide easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to set up a design file for auto-serialization numbering, as well as marking cut-lines for kiss-cuts and perforations.
