SA International (SAi) announces that its flagship 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 1.6m-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.
Existing direct-to-substrate digital printing solutions require a high initial investment and signs have turnaround times of several days. 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. SAi’s long association with Mutoh made Avery Dennison the best partners for the project.
