If you’ve been waiting for software that finally “gets” the real-world challenges of DTF and DTG production, SAi has dropped something worth getting excited about. Meet Flexi® DTF Pro, a brand-new, purpose-built solution designed from the ground up to make DTF and DTG printing faster, cleaner, and more efficient. From one-click halftoning to intelligent white ink controls, this platform brings simplicity and precision to every step of your workflow.
Let’s break down what makes this RIP software release such a game-changer.
A Smarter, Faster, More Professional DTF Workflow
At its core, SAi Flexi DTF Pro was engineered for three things: Create, Prepare, Produce. And honestly, it nails all three.
CREATE
Designing inside Flexi DTF Pro feels smooth from the start. You can build artwork right in the software or import files from your favorite design tools—Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Photoshop, you name it. The interface is friendly, streamlined, and surprisingly intuitive, especially for users who are new to DTF or RIP environments.
PREPARE
This is where Flexi DTF Pro really flexes. You can set halftoning, white ink layers, and gang sheets using straightforward, visual controls. No more guessing density, choke, or bleed. No more manual dot patterns. And no more juggling multiple plugins or extra apps just to prep a file.
PRODUCE
Once you hit print, Flexi handles the rest with precise output control—perfect for DTF transfers and DTG prints that need clean edges and rich, accurate color. It’s built for dependability, especially for busy shops that need flawless results on the first go.
Key Features That Make Flexi DTF Pro Stand Out
1. Smart Color Knockout for Cleaner Edges
Ever deal with overlapping color data that creates muddy edges? Flexi DTF Pro fixes that with Smart Color Knockout, a feature that automatically removes overlapping layers to keep designs crisp and perfectly aligned. It’s a massive time-saver, no manual trimming required.
2. White Ink Layer Control You Can Actually See
White underbases can be tricky, especially on dark garments. Flexi DTF Pro gives you a visual white ink preview, letting you adjust density, choke, and bleed right inside the RIP before sending the job to print. This means fewer surprises and more consistent, professional results.
3. One-Click Halftoning
DTF halftones can make or break a print. The advanced halftoning built into Flexi DTF Pro delivers soft gradients, smooth shadows, and zero harsh edges—all with a single click. No extra software. No guesswork. No washed-out effects or strange dot patterns.
4. Advanced RIP Engine for High Precision
Flexi’s RIP engine isn’t new, but it’s been optimized here for DTF and DTG workflows. You get sharper detail, smarter ink laydown, and cleaner edges, even on small text or highly detailed graphics.
5. Multi-Material Support
Whether you’re printing on cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, leather, or even non-textile surfaces, Flexi DTF Pro handles it all. It’s designed for shops that want to offer a wide range of custom goods.
Perfect for:
- Apparel
- Tote bags
- Promotional items
- Decor
- Even traffic signage (yep—seriously)
6. Automated Workflow Tools
From file prep to color separation to calibration, Flexi DTF Pro includes automation that cuts down production time. Less manual clicking means fewer errors and faster turnarounds, something every print shop can appreciate.
7. Broad File Compatibility
Working with vector graphics? Raster images? Mixed artwork? Flexi DTF Pro accepts nearly everything and integrates smoothly with industry-standard design programs. Designers stay in their comfort zone, and production stays consistent.
Why Flexi DTF Pro Is a Win for Print Shops
High-Quality Output Every Time
With color-accurate profiles, intelligent knockout tools, and advanced RIP processing, your prints stay bold, vibrant, and durable. Whether you’re printing for fashion, retail, or branding, quality control becomes easier and more predictable.
Cost-Effective for Small and Large Shops
DTF is already known for affordability, but Flexi DTF Pro helps you save even more. Thanks to the halftoning engine and smart white ink management, you can cut down on ink usage while maintaining quality. Plus, SAi’s subscription includes updates and drivers—no hidden fees.
Greater Flexibility and Custom Product Options
Because Flexi supports so many materials and file types, your shop can expand offerings effortlessly. Want to add promotional goods? Done. Want to add DTG in the same workflow? Easy.
Streamlined Production = Higher Productivity
Automated nesting and gang sheet tools help reduce film waste, and faster file prep means more prints per day. If you’re scaling your business, efficiency is everything.
