Overview

iNote

In order to output to the FlexJet E or StudioJet printer, your apparel design software must create plot files in HPGL 7475  or DM/PL format.Alternatively, you can output markers using the FlexPlot software, included with the printer. FlexPlot imports and converts a variety of file formats for output to your Ioline printer.
