SA International (SAi) ties up with Graphtec for large-format vinyl cutter software

SA International (SAi) has tied up with cutting technology leader Graphtec to supply three newly-created cutting software packages with the company’s entire range of large-format vinyl cutters. Driven by the SAi Flexi software, the feature-rich cutting solutions – Cutting Master 4, Graphtec Pro Studio and Graphtec Pro Studio Plus – have been designed to meet the varied requirements of print service providers, and sign and display companies. The new three-tier offering replaces Graphtec’s previous software solution, also named Graphtec Pro Studio, and provides users with access to the specific design and cutting tools to suit their respective needs.

Graphtec’s portfolio includes flatbed, roll and sheet-fed cutters, which deliver cutting widths of up to 162cm. Driven by FlexiSIGN, Graphtec Pro Studio Plus provides users with a comprehensive offering with a haul of new tools including smart nesting for designs that are larger than the substrate. Graphtec Pro Studio Plus will automatically nest the sections of the design that exceed the material into available vacant space. This ability to maximise material usage ensures that PSPs and sign and display companies can enjoy greater capital saving.
