#Sure cuts a lot vs flexi 8 starter upgrade
Bite the bullet and do full subscription for Sign & Print plus 3 designer seats for $1800 a year (if fully prepaid - more if not)? Upgrade the Sign & Print perpetual license and then subscribe to 3 designer seats? I'm pretty irritated that my designer perpetual licenses are pretty much garbage according to SAi now and cannot be upgraded to new perpetual licenses anymore. Stay with Flexi and try to just stick it our forever on v12 (I'm sure I can resolve the communications issue (I need to upgrade the RIP computer anyways). Seriously.Īnyways what do ya'll think? Look at Signlab? Some other option like Onyx? I'm not sure anything else has the dead simple seamless print/cut workflow that Flexi has. If I go to subscription everything with 4 seats it will cost me close well north of 5 grand a year!!! Anyone want to buy a well established sign company - includes 10,000SF building and the real estate. We have stayed with Adobe CS6 since that is the final perpetual licensed version and still use Estimate 2.0 since that is the final perpetual licensed version.

I'm very adverse to SaaS (renting software forever) but I realize that is what everything is going to.

We use our own custom color profiles created in PM using an i1 Pro as well and it is fairly easy to use the same preset settings on all workstations. Then go to the print room, make sure the right media is loaded, and click send from the Production Manager computer in there (cut job is sitting the the queue on hold to run later). Open the artwork in Designer, arrange, add contour cuts, click Rip & Print (or cut only), poll the printer you want for the media size (or choose a size if it is not loaded yet), check options and send. We really do not do much design in Flexi itself - mostly in Illustrator or PS. Everything communicates with it except Flexi. You can ping the PM machine by name, IP address, it shows in the network neighborhood, can click it there and browse the shared folders on it, copy files to/from it. When you try to print it just says cannot find any servers on the network.

Even swapped its install from the shared Sign & Print to a standalone Designer only license. The one computer can no longer find the dongle or Production Manager over the network. Same Brocade network switch, same computers, etc. We can then install the same full Sign & Print on one of the users workstations and they can run Flexi Design and it sees the dongle over the network. We have that computer setup so that it is basically on 24x7 with PM open. We have always had a dedicated workstation just for Production Manager that sits in the print room and has the printers and cutters connected to it (2 Mimaki JV150, 2 Summa cutters). we have one Sign & Print license (dongle). Did a get a refund? Of course not.Īfter nearly 20 years of being loyal to Flexi (I still even have a Casmate parallel dongle somewhere), I'm debating on looking at other options.Īnother issue I am now having. Back on I think V10 I paid for the banner grommets add on, then they soon after started just including that for free. Not the first time I've been kicked in the teeth with them either.
So if we go to subscription on everything now I will have to pay out $1800 (that is with the annual fully prepaid 1 year pricing, monthly or annual commitment pricing is even higher) a year or I can pay $2959.20 to upgrade the Sign & Print perpetual license and then $360 per year, per design license (x3). Designer only licenses are only subscription now. Perpetual licenses for Designer seats are no more. On top of that to add insult to injury our perpetual designer licenses are apparently now garbage and cannot be upgraded, ever, period. One issue I really see now is that we are now past the one version upgrade cost. Still on 12 because of all the horror stories on here when 19 first came out and many even being told to go back to 12 by SAi support! Been using Flexi for nearly 20 years but am tiring of the issues.
