Depends. Why are you exporting to Flexi? I create print files in Corel all of the time. If it's just a print then export a150 dpi RGB jpg and bring it straight into Production Manager. If it's a print and contour cut the create the cut lines as objects WITH NO OUTLINES, convert everything to be printed to a 150 dpi bitmap, then either export everything to a PDF with RGB specified for bitmaps or export everything to a legacy CMX file. Bring the file into Flexi and convert all of the contour line objects to contour cut
An RGB bitmap will come as close to what you see is what you get as you're likely to achieve..Assuming your bitmap rendering intents are set to 'Perceptual'.

Why bother with a tif? A one use jpg has every bit the acuity of a tif at a fraction of the disk space and time. The dreaded jpg loss is largely a thing of myth, something you use to scare small children into going to bed. If you're continually loading a jpg and then re-saving it you might notice some change in the content after a while. A long while if you save it correctly with zero smoothing and compression.

Dammit, make it faster!!
hmmm, we don't have problems with file size. Probably worth a test print or two though. I can't see where you'd see much of a difference on simple large text banners but I'd worry about images with special effects and such or large vehicle wraps. I've seen many bad wraps out there that either appeared as though they used a low quality jpg to begin with or they printed as a jpg.
I used to think this too, but I observed weird artifacts in my prints. Under further examination, the high quality JPG still had enough compression artifacts present that it translated in to the prints. It is mainly observed along the edges of opaque areas from flattened vector work. So when I need Absolute clarity, I always use uncompressed TIFs for this reason. Although the majority of my work is high resolution pop signage- when the DPI requirement isnt that high, I will always use a jpg.
