Headed to PRINTING United in Las Vegas? Stay an Extra Day and Master Flexi.
Every year, thousands of sign and print professionals fly into Las Vegas for PRINTING United, walk the floor, see the new machines, collect the swag — and fly home without ever touching the one thing that actually determines whether all that new hardware pays for itself: their software workflow.
This year, we're giving you a better option.
A Live, One-Day Flexi Complete Class — While You're Already in Vegas
On September 22, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, we're running a full-day, in-person Flexi Complete seminar in Las Vegas — timed for the PRINTING United crowd who'd rather turn a trade show trip into a real skills upgrade. No webcam, no muted mic, no "I'll rewatch the recording later" — just a room full of shop owners and operators working through Flexi side by side with an instructor who lives in this software every day.
Leading the class is Mark Rugen, who most of you already know from the Adendo and SAi community. He's not reading slides — he's showing you the exact workflows, shortcuts, and troubleshooting moves that separate shops that fight Flexi from shops that fly through it.
What You'll Actually Walk Out Knowing
This isn't a beginner's overview. The day is built around the features that quietly eat the most time — and cause the most costly mistakes — on a real production floor:
- The Top 5 Essential Features of Flexi — DesignCentral and DesignEditor, working with layers, setting up Contour and PerfCuts, soft-proofing for easy color management, and the shortcut keys that save you hours over a year
- Vectorizing tricky images — what to do when auto-trace just isn't cutting it
- Bitmap workflows that actually hold up — removing complex backgrounds, understanding how embedded profiles affect your color output, and fixing resolution problems before they become customer complaints
- Production Manager, unlocked — white ink handling, building your own presets, examining ICC profiles, and nesting jobs to stop wasting material
- Flexi and Adobe, working together instead of fighting each other
- Where to go next — getting support, the SAi Community, and the path to Flexi Academy certification
Coffee's at 8:30. Lunch is included. By 4:30, you'll have a full day of hands-on reps under your belt — not just notes.
Seats Are Limited, and the Price Goes Up
This is a small, in-person seminar — not a webinar with a thousand tabs open — so seating is capped. Register before September 8, 2026 and it's $149 per seat. After that, it's $199.
If you're already booking flights and hotels for PRINTING United, this is the easiest add-on decision you'll make all year: one extra day, one room full of people who run shops just like yours, and a Flexi skillset that pays for itself on the very next job you run.
