SAi Flexi has been selected for Avery Dennison?s TrafficJet? Print System

SA International (SAi) has announced that its flagship signmaking software, SAi Flexi, has been selected for Avery Dennison’s TrafficJet^™ Print System for worldwide compliant highway signage. TrafficJet^™ comprises SAi FlexiPRINT DX RIP software, as well as special inks and retroreflective substrates from Avery Dennison, and a 1.6 meter wide, eight-color printer from Mutoh. TrafficJet^™ overcomes the time and cost issues associated with traditional production methods of road signage which can be both labor-intensive and expensive. TrafficJet is available in an eight spot color configuration as well as a CMYK with 4 spots configuration, capable of printing CMYK inks and TrafficJet spot inks at the same time. The TrafficJet’s spot colors are all special colors, compliant with EU and US standards and include special red, blue, green, Worboys green, yellow, black and brown. TrafficJet offers a cost-effective inkjet printing system for traffic safety and reflective sign producers, as well as government agencies that produce or purchase signage, who benefit from a 10 and 12-year warrantied and highly flexible solution with equipment, ink and reflective sheeting for both permanent and work zone signage. The Mutoh printer enables the TrafficJet^™ Print System to print at 8-10 square meters per hour using specially formulated inks that are dry and ready for lamination within two hours. The composition of the Avery-Dennison’s retroreflective films also contributes to the rapid drying times. Signage of this type using conventional solvent inks and substrates requires up to 48-72 hours off-gassing time.
