PANTONE® Color Matching

ONYX® RipCenter¬ô includes a fully licensed PANTONE® Color Library which makes spot color matching easy because more accurate PANTONE spot color matching happens automatically during processing. The ONYX RIP recognizes PANTONE-named colors in PostScript® or PDF files and matches the colors as closely as possible.

Easy Job Management

ONYX PosterShop increases your productivity by giving you flexible control over job workflow. PosterShop includes support for two printers with multiple Hot Folders (used for setting job properties). Print directly from your creative applications or drag and drop jobs into the appropriate Hot Folder. When the system detects an available printer matching the job properties, printing begins automatically.

Scale, Crop, Rotate, and Apply Custom Tiling to Images

ONYX Preflight contains professional tools that allow you to perform difficult tasks easily and with consistent results from one job to the next. Interactive sizing, cropping, and custom tiling, as well as full pan and zoom, instantly show on your display.

Ink Usage Tracking and Reporting

PosterShop Version 7 allows you to obtain ink usage and cost estimates on any job before printing. You can also view ink costs in the RIP-Queue's job log. This innovative feature reports the usage and estimated cost for each ink channel and works with all dot patterns.

Make Color Corrections on the Fly

Adapt easily and quickly to your customers' subjective view of color. Novice and expert users alike will find an intuitive color correction toolset that allows for quick and easy changes in the PosterShop interface. Change brightness, saturation, and contrast for the image globally or for individual mid-tones and shadows. View up to four color filters at once to compare changes, or select a specific color (or a range of colors) and replace it with another to refine even the most difficult prints all without touching the original file.

Preflight Puts It All at Your Fingertips

Preflight is easy to navigate and easy to use because key actions and controls are located in the main tabs. Preflight also shows you final output colors on your screen, saving you the hassle of having to print in order to see the final colors of each job.

Web Portal for Web-Based Print Job Management

Manage your print jobs from any computer on your network with a web browser. You can also submit jobs from a PC, Mac, or Unix-based compatible web browser on your network.

Easy to Install, Easy to Use

With ONYX RipCenter, getting up to speed and producing professional color is as simple as install, open file, and print. Yet despite its simplicity, RipCenter contains a production toolset that outperforms bundled RIPs and Windows printer drivers.

Network Accessible Across Platforms

When the system detects an available printer matching the correct job properties, printing begins automatically.

ONYX Saves on Media Costs

A thumbnail preview gives you the ability to inspect your jobs before you print reducing the need for reprinting. When you select Conserve Media Placement, jobs are quickly arranged and positioned for maximum media usage. A nesting preview provides visual assurance that you're getting the most out of your media.

Automatic Updates Just a Click Away
