Automatically adds horizontal and vertical cuts around text and graphics to make weeding vinyl faster and easier. PhotoPRINT 6.1v2: The Precision RIP Engine
Automatically adds horizontal and vertical cut lines around graphics to make peeling away excess vinyl easier.
FlexiSIGN 8.6v2 and PhotoPRINT 6.1v2 represent a golden era of sign-making software—offering robust, production-grade tools that continue to drive reliable output for 24-inch print and cut operations worldwide.
Using with a 24" plotter allows you to:
Operational considerations
The software processes high-resolution bitmap images quickly, converting complex transparency layers and gradients into clean print data without stuttering or memory errors on compatible hardware. 2. ICC Color Management
Verdict: If you don't need white ink or metallic silver, the legacy combo is perfectly adequate. FlexiSIGN 8.6v2 PhotoPRINT 6.1v2 24
One of the most valuable aspects of using FlexiSIGN 8.6v2 alongside PhotoPRINT 6.1v2 is the integrated contour cutting workflow. This allows you to print a full-color graphic on a 24-inch printer via PhotoPRINT and cut it precisely on a 24-inch plotter via FlexiSIGN.
Version 8.6v2 introduced enhanced algorithms to arrange complex vector shapes tightly together, minimizing vinyl waste on standard 24-inch rolls. PhotoPRINT 6.1v2: The Precision RIP Engine
These versions were natively built for . If you plan to run them on modern operating systems like Windows 10 or Windows 11, you must run the executables in Compatibility Mode (set to Windows 7) and ensure you have updated, signed drivers for your USB security dongles (HASP/Sentinel drivers).

PhotoPRINT outputs the graphic along with the marks onto the 24-inch printer. Using with a 24" plotter allows you to:
A common limitation of a 24-inch machine is handling graphics that exceed 24 inches in width (e.g., a large store window banner). FlexiSIGN 8.6v2 solves this through its feature:
PhotoPRINT 6.1v2 serves as the heavy-duty engine behind the printing side of the operation, ensuring that what appears on the monitor closely matches the final physical output. 1. Precision RIP Engine
