Get a Free 1-Year Subscription of SAi FlexiPrint HP Edition RIP

At the beginning of July, HP announced a free 12-month subscription of the SAi FlexiPrint HP Edition RIP with the purchase of a Latex 365 64-in printer during July.

Some highlights of the FlexiPrint HP Edition include:

  • All-in-one Print-and-cut Workflow – Design multiple contour-cut lines and create accurate print-and-cut jobs in a few easy steps
  • HP Integrated Media Library Tool – Access to HP’s online Media library, which auto-syncs with Flexi to ensure the printer is current with media and print modes
  • HP WallArt Integration – Ability to produce high-margin wall décor and murals with the HP WallArt Solution and FlexiPRINT

Recently, SAi announced the end of Flexi RIP versions 10.5 and older. This change affected all users operating 10.x and older and all upgrades and support have ended for these legacy versions. If you are using the old software with an older model printer and have been considering an upgrade, now is the perfect opportunity.

At the end of your free one-year subscription, you can continue to use FlexiPrint HP Edition for $49.95 per month or choose to receive the HP Basic Edition for free. Other subscription plans are also available. If you have questions about this promotion, please contact your LexJet printer specialist at 800-453-9538.

HP Latex 300 Series Firmware and FlexiPRINT HP Edition Software Update

HP Firmware Update
To get the latest firmware update for the HP Latex 300 Series Printers, click on the image.

HP has released a new firmware auto-update for all of its Latex 300 Series Printers. The firmware update (03_09.1) will improve long-term curing performance, improve loading process for textiles, fix problems reported by some customers when printing on two or more printers from the same RIP, improved e-mail alert functionality, provide more reliable reporting of ink cartridge levels, and more.

Depending on your printer settings, you may have already received an automatic alert to download and install the firmware. The automatic alert can be activated on your printer’s front panel at Settings>Updates>Firmware Update.

To access the update on the web, go to www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html, then Find your product>Select your OS>Download the *.fmw file>Install it via USB or EWS.

SAi will also release a matching auto-update for FlexiPRINT HP Edition software to make printer installation setup faster and easier and increase automation of daily media and job setup.

Here’s what’s new in Build 2120 of FlexiPRINT HP Edition software:

Automatic Media DetectionAutomatic media detection: Now when you load a media on the HP Latex 300 Series printer, FlexiPRINT Production Manager will automatically recognize the loaded media and width and will apply them to the Default Job Properties. It also sets the matching ICC profile automatically for the loaded media. This means new jobs using the Default Job Properties will automatically be set for the current media and size loaded on the printer.

Automatic ICC Profile download: During the initial media synchronization, Production Manager now downloads all ICC profiles for the media installed in the HP Latex 300 Series printer. Also, when you add a new media to the printer library, the matching ICC profile will automatically be downloaded into Production Manager.

Faster media synchronization: Media synchronization is now significantly faster and automatically happens when the printer is first added to FlexiPRINT Production Manager.

Media SyncMedia sync between printers: For users with two or more HP Latex 300 Series printers, there is a new tool to allow easy synchronization of media between printers. You can access this new tool by clicking on the Sync Media button in the Latex Media explorer in FlexiPRINT Production Manager.

Individual printer profiles: ICC profiles are now stored separately between the HP Latex 310, HP Latex 330 and HP Latex 360 models.

More HP Printer srivers: SAi FlexiPRINT Premium and FlexiSIGN-Pro HP Editions now include all printer drivers for HP Designjet Z-Series, HP Scitex LX600 & LX800 Series and Scitex FB500, FB700 & FB900 Series printers. This provides a consistent, productive workflow for your existing HP and the new HP Latex printers.
