SA International (SAi) announces that its sign making 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 m-wide, eight-colour printer from Mutoh. TrafficJet overcomes the time and cost issues associated with traditional production methods of road signage which can be both labour-intensive and expensive. These methods include direct applied legend, use of colored overlay films, and screen printing.
Avery Dennison developed the TrafficJet Print System to achieve a faster, more cost-effective solution for road signage using its beaded and prismatic retroreflective substrates. TrafficJet is available in an eight spot colour 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 colours are all special colours, compliant with EU and US standards and include special red, blue, green, Worboys green, yellow, black and brown. Mutoh printer enables the TrafficJet Print System to print at 8-10sq m/hr using specially formulated inks that are dry and ready for lamination within two hours.
