New Design Features

 View and change object order. Flexi now lets you reorder the objects more intuitively, by

selecting the objects in order, as well as having the option to optimize cutting start points.

Access this feature via Arrange > Cut Order > Reorder.

 Preview how a job will be cut in the Animated Cut Viewer. Go to Arrange > Cut Order > Preview.

 You can now open and import multiple files at once. When you open multiple files, an .fs file

will be created for each. When you import multiple files, your cursor will show a bounding box

for each file. Click to position the first one, then click again to position the next.

 QR Code is now available for non-subscription users.

 2D Data Matrix codes have been added. Type in text and select Text > Data Matrix > Text to

Data Matrix.

 Artwork Approval Tool. Send Artwork out for approval to your customers before producing.

Your customer will receive a website link to view the artwork you created and will be able to

either add comments or approve. You can upload several revisions and monitor the status of

each Artwork Approval Task. Create a job and select File > Send to Approval Tool to get started.

Access the overview of all Approval jobs via the Job Approval icon in the Cloud window.

 Added True Shape Nesting for images with Contour Paths.

 Drawing placeholders for templates can now be scaled non-proportionally.

 The Send As E-mail feature now has a ‘selection only’ option.

 Flexi now supports TIFF files in planar format.

 The SummaFlex Swatch Library has now been added to Flexi.

 Cloud File Storage has been increased to 5GB.

New Production Manager Features

 Updated Look and Feel. All levels of Production Manager now have a thumbnail preview in the

queue for the selected job. All printing levels have a separate Hold, RIP and Output queue.

 Nesting Alignment Tools. Production Manager now allows more control over nested jobs. You

can now select multiple jobs in a nest and align them either relative to each other or relative to

the media edges.

 Apply Same Size to nested jobs. Select multiple files in a job nest and hit the Same Width or

Same Height icons on the layout tab of Job Properties.

 Banner and Canvas finishing tools are now available to non-subscription users. Add grommets,

fold and bleed to your jobs.

 Rectangular grommets and bleed option for corners of mirror and repeat bleeds have been

added to the Finishing tools.

 Choke and Bleed. For color modes containing spot ink channels such as white or metallic, you

can now define Choke or Bleed. Access this feature by selecting a color mode with a spot ink

and hitting the Choke button.

 Smoother Gradients. Access this feature on the Color Management tab of Job Properties dialog

or RIP and Print dialog. Gradients in EPS/PDF print jobs will be processed at a very high gradient

precision, which will especially have an effect on lighter gradients rendered at larger sizes.
