Collaboration brings together Onyx and Enfocus technologies to give large format print service providers a solution that saves time and improves accuracy. 

Onyx Graphics has announced that it has developed a Switch Configurator that supports the specific demands of large format printers. Based on Switch automation software from Enfocus, this new solution will expand benefits of Onyx Connect software for graphics, textile, décor and industrial print applications by giving users an improved solution for automating their workflow.

A module of Onyx Thrive workflow software, Onyx Connect, was created to support large format print workflows. It is an open system that gives users a simple developer interface tool that enables them to connect their business’ workflow solution to their Onyx software. 

Enfocus Switch is an automation solution that enables any business to connect their investments in technology into efficient flows automating repetitive tasks while improving productivity and efficiencies. The openness of Switch technology makes it possible for companies like Onyx Graphics to use the configurators in Switch to connect and exchange data with its application.

Onyx Switch configurator software improves turnaround times by enabling print service providers to easily customise a range of job settings, including media selections, copies, print marks and job ticket information. The configurator also gives printer operators greater control of bleeds, so they can produce a variety of applications without the need to redesign the original artwork.

‘Working with Enfocus to create the Onyx Switch Configurator extends the value of our technology by producing a solution that ensures our customers can produce jobs faster and more accurately, helping them to be more profitable than before,’ said Bryan Manwaring, director of product marketing.
