How to Switch from Flexi to BendiRip

Short answer: Switching from SAi Flexi to BendiRip takes minutes, not days. Install BendiRip, import your existing media profiles and color presets, select your printer, and run a test print — your color output stays consistent, and the monthly subscription goes away. BendiRip's ICC mapping is engineered for Flexi-accurate results.

If Flexi's subscription no longer fits your shop, moving to BendiRip is designed to be painless. You keep the profiles and presets you've dialed in over the years; you just stop paying monthly for the RIP. Here's the exact process.

Before you start

A Windows workstation for BendiRip (it serves other PCs on your LAN).
Your current media profiles / ICC presets from Flexi (BendiRip imports them).
Your printer model — HP Latex (570/365/360/335/330/315), Epson SureColor S-Series, Mimaki, or Roland TrueVIS.

Step-by-step migration

Step 1 — Install BendiRip

Download BendiRip and install it on your main prepress PC. No need to uninstall Flexi first — run them side by side while you verify.

Step 2 — Import your profiles

Bring in your existing media profiles and color presets. BendiRip's ICC color mapping targets Flexi-accurate output so prints match what your customers expect.

Step 3 — Connect your printer

Select your printer and load the matching media profile, pass count, and curing/heat settings.

Step 4 — Run a test print

Print a known job and compare against your Flexi output. Confirm color, then move production over at your own pace.

Step 5 — Cancel the subscription

Once you're confident, let the Flexi subscription lapse. BendiRip is a one-time license, so there's nothing more to pay.

What you keep — and what changes

You keep your color accuracy, your media library, and your workflow. What changes: rendering moves to a 60fps GPU engine, modern AVIF/WebP files print without conversion, every PC on your LAN can access the RIP at no extra cost, and contour cutting (BendiCut) is bundled. See the full feature list, the side-by-side comparison, or the cost breakdown.

An honest note on timing

If your shop depends on Flexi's built-in vector design suite or an unusual printer outside BendiRip's supported list, plan your switch around that first — confirm your hardware is supported and keep a design tool in your stack. For standard HP Latex, Epson, Mimaki, and Roland fleets, most shops migrate the same day.
