When it comes to cutting-edge RIP software, SAi Flexi stands out as a leader, especially for innovative devices like the EPSON SureColor V1070. Although this printer hasn’t yet been officially released to production, SAI Flexi has been collaborating closely with EPSON to develop enhanced drivers for the test units currently in the field. Today, we’ll walk you through how Flexi integrates with the V1070 and demonstrate its features step by step.
Getting Started: Setting Up Your Workflow
To begin, open Flexi on your computer and head to the Printer Down Arrow. Here, you’ll access the Default Job Properties, which is essential for configuring how jobs are processed and printed.
- Default Job Properties:
- Go to the second tab and select After Output Hold to queue jobs after printing.
- Navigate to the third tab to add profiles for the V1070. These profiles optimize your print settings for this specific printer.
- Return to the first tab to define your Jig Layout.
- Setting Jig Layout and Media Size:
- Specify the Media Size and Jig Size to align with your project.
- To create a Jig Template for laser cutting, you can either print the jig layout or save it as an EPS file. This provides flexibility for future projects.
- Auto Resizing Features:
- Check the boxes for Fit to Jig and Fit Proportionally to automatically resize your images to fit the jig layout.
- Save your custom layout with a clear name, such as “18×24 Coro,” for easy reference. Always hit Apply after making changes.
Nesting Jobs for Efficient Printing
Efficiently managing multiple print jobs is one of Flexi’s standout features. Here’s how:
- In Default Job Properties, click on Job and add multiple files to your workflow.
- Select all jobs and use the nesting feature to organize them at the top of the layout.
- Double-click the title bar (e.g., “Nest 6 Jobs”) to finalize your nesting.
This feature streamlines the production process, saving time and minimizing media waste.
Printing on Translucent Media
Another key capability of Flexi with the V1070 is its support for translucent media. This option opens up new creative possibilities, allowing you to achieve vibrant, eye-catching prints for backlit displays and other unique applications.
