Enhancements to colour management, ICC profiling and workflow are all included in the latest version of Onyx Graphics’ wide format digital printing workflow software, available immediately.

ONYX 11.1 adds six new features to the 21 enhancements of ONYX 11.0 software to further streamline wide format workflow. The software is available for the full Onyx Graphics product line, including ONYX Thrive workflow software and ONYX ProductionHouse, ONYX PosterShop and ONYX RIPCenter RIP software.

It enables improved colour output quality by taking advantage of new, expanded gamut ink control included in the colour profiling module. This expanded colour gamut gives users the ability to easily match corporate colours, achieve deeper darks and print a wider range of colours. Additional colour enhancements in ONYX 11.1 include simplified spot colour ink restriction with the new dynamic multi-channel ink restriction swatches.

Time-saving automation enhancements incorporated into ONYX 11.1 include unit sizing and disproportionate scaling in Job Properties, as well as mirror and print reflection control. A new cut path previewing feature improves user confidence in printed output before submitting images to production.  The ability to preview cut paths in Job Editor, RIP-Queue and Job Properties modules is combined with a new, cut-only workflow. 

ONYX PosterShop 11.1 software now includes the ability to generate colour profiles. Custom ICC profile creation enables users to optimise their colour output by generating profiles for their unique print environment. Powerful tools are also available to control and fine-tune advanced colour profiles. ONYX Thrive 11.1 workflow software includes the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine 3.2 for a true end-to-end PDF workflow.
