Applicable to FlexiPRINT, FlexiSIGN&PRINT, FlexiPRINT SE and HP FlexiPRINT edition v12, Sai’s certification of HP DesignJet Z6610 and DesignJet Z6810 printers officialises the software with HP’s stamp of approval and it confirms that these Flexi solutions are now fully complied with the rigorous performance requirements for both the DesignJet printers.

Efficiency-enhancing tools

For users, this provides the assurance that the software will seamlessly integrate with their HP DesignJet printers without disruption to their print line. The certification also offers those users who require advanced production tools – such as nesting, tiling and colour management options– access to a catalogue of efficiency-enhancing tools. These include the ability to minimise material waste and maximise profit margins using Flexi’s new contour cut true shaping nesting tool. Users can precisely match the job spot colours with ease of using Flexi’s spot colour swatch tools.

Commenting on the certification, Eyal Friedman, Vice President, Technical Services at SAi, says, “As this certification demonstrates, our software solutions continue to perform at the highest level to equip print service providers (PSPs) and sign & display companies with a multitude of business-enhancing tools.”
