Question Software for signmaking anc cutting as alternatie to SaiFLEXI ?

[INPrint]

Ello
So... We have used SaiFLEXI for a while now, but from time to time we find it to be frustrating to be a custommer there. As a new started company, they are expensive to subscribe to. And only for use on one computer.

What alternatives are there?

We use Summa as a cutter.

I'm a big fan of Flexi and for most things it's great. The big thing is training. If you're comparing it to something that you know well, like Illustrator or Corel and you haven't been trained on Flexi, you'll get frustrated. If you're doing cut only, you can use the plug in from Summa with Corel or Illustrator, but if you're not familiar with those, you'll be just as frustrated.
You can check out the SAi Youtube channel for help or Sign up at their training site Adendo.com for some training sessions. Or if you'd like, you can message me for some training on Flexi.

Good Luck

we run just about every piece of equipment we own on flexi.
no import/export operation to send to a different printer/plotter

When flexi went subscription, I switched to Vinylmaster Pro. When Adobe went subscription i switched to Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher. I run an old Roland SP-300V with Versaworks print/cut unit. The only bummer with Vinylmaster is having two separate print and cut files versus Flexi having both in one eps file...but i can cut directly from Vinylmaster for cut only jobs. Both flexi and adobe pissed me off when they went subscription...i have thousands of dollars in software that i cant use anymore...ehh.
