Overview

Easy Job Management

ONYX PosterShop makes increasing your productivity easy by giving you flexible control over job workflow. PosterShop includes support for two printers with multiple Hot Folders, which are used for setting job properties.

Print directly from your creative application. Or drag and drop jobs into the appropriate Hot Folder and, 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 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 shows on your display.

Ink Usage Tracking and Reporting

PosterShop Version 7.0 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 shows each ink channel usage and estimated cost 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 within 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.

Cutting

Contour Cutting Workflow

Contour Cutting in Three Easy Steps

Never before has contour cutting been so easy and productive. Simply use

Adobe ® Illustrator ® or Corel ® Draw to define the cut paths in your image and RIP-Queue within ONYX PosterShop to scale, tile, nest, and manage color as needed. Send the image to any printer, which then prints the job complete with cutter marks and a barcode for scanning. Place the completed print(s) in the cutter. The cut device knows just what to do and where to cut.

It’s that easy!

You retain easy control of every step. You select the printer, media, number of copies, rotation, magnification, etc. PosterShop even supports Hot

Folders and Quicksets that allow you to standardize and simplify the process even further.

Cut Devices Supported:

i-cut ®

Graphtec ®

Mutoh

Ultima

Mimaki ®

Gerber

Print-and-Cut Devices

Or, use the CUT-Server’s generic driver to easily add support for your own cutter.

Discover the Convenience of Registration

The ONYX RIP-Queue maximizes your flexibility when printing and cutting contours, by completely handling the printing of “registration marks” recognized by many “electric eye” cutters. The RIP-Queue prints these specific marks needed by your contour cutter on any of the hundreds of different printers that it supports. Registration is then automatic when you use the ONYX CUT-Server to cut out the job after printing.

Number and Barcode Capability

PosterShop creates and assigns barcodes for every job you print. Simply load the completed print in the cutter, then scan the barcode, or enter the job number. The cutter automatically grabs the necessary cut script and knows exactly how and where to cut the images in the print.

Scale, Nest, and Tile Cut Jobs

Interactively scale all of your illustrations directly in PosterShop before they even reach the cutter.

Cut marks stay the same no matter what size you make the illustration.

You can reduce ink consumption and media spoilage by nesting your images. PosterShop applies cutting paths to every job you send and allows you to preview the nested jobs directly in the application. You can also apply custom tiling to your oversized prints; after specifying the number of tiles, PosterShop automatically applies a continuous contour cutting path across each tile.

Contour Cutting Features and Benefits:

Take out the manual labor of your existing workflow

Spend less time training existing staff and easily train new staff

Achieve one easy workflow, from your RIP to your printer(s) to your cutters

Print from any printer — ONYX Graphics offers the most extensive list of printer drivers and media profiles available on the market today

Interactively scale, crop, and rotate images from PosterShop — your cutter marks automatically adjust

Use barcode functionality to automatically scan preset cut paths

Support up to 10 cut layers (for bevelling, embossing, die-cuts, stickers, etc.)

Screening

Screen Printing Capabilities

High-Quality Digital Screen Printing

Despite its name, ONYX PosterShop is a great RIP solution for screen printers, with its fully-featured screening workflow for flexo and offset separations. You’ll get a wide range of screen dot patterns that simulate traditional screen printing, including a set of default screens for silk screening, newsprint, and SWOP

®

. You can also create your own custom screening dot patterns with custom dot size, screen angle, and frequency while taking advantage of other innovative screening technologies, including spot-color mapping for dead-on color reproduction.

Rosette Screens for Moiré-free Output

PosterShop’s precision rosette screening capabilities, which have revolutionized the use of inkjet printers for screen printing separations, are incredibly easy to use. Just type in the LPI you want, and PosterShop automatically calculates the exact settings for a perfect precision rosette screen pattern.

Because you select the LPI, you can have precision rosette screens spanning the full range of your printer’s capabilities!

Rosette screens are unique in their ability to produce extremely high-end separations on low-cost hardware, for use with flexo and offset separations as well as screen printing. The screening pattern works with PostScript and PDF files and also standard raster image file formats like RGB or CMYK TIFF,

JPEG and BMP image files.

Advanced Screening Capabilities

As easy as it is to use precision rosettes with PosterShop for all your high-end process color separations, not all separations are created equally. That’s why

PosterShop also includes advanced screen options for spot color separations and files with less intensive halftones and gradients. Advanced screening capabilities let you create custom screen sets with user defined patterns, frequencies and angles for each separation.

Superior Linearization

PosterShop also includes superior linearization tools that let you easily calibrate your output, for perfect color blends and gradients.

Proofing

PROOFING

Remote Proofing Capabilities

Remote Soft Proofing with ONYX RIPeXtend™

The ONYX RIPeXtend ™ feature extends the capabilities and reach of your print services further than you ever dreamed possible. Imagine being able to automatically send a soft proof of a job to your customer — anywhere in the world. Or how about generating images for digital signage and electronic display systems with the click of a button? Production of cross-media jobs has never been simpler than with RIPeXtend, which comes standard with each PosterShop package.

Simple Setup

In order to proof an image, PosterShop requires that you have a minimum of two active printers. These will act as your final output printer and your proofing printer. Your final output printer is the printer on which you wish to print the final image; the proofing printer is the printer on which you will

“test” your image. This allows you to review a smaller representation of your image without wasting the ink and media of the final output printer.

Proof Any Time, Anywhere

ONYX RIPeXtend even allows you to automatically FTP a soft proof of each customer’s job. Your customers can review proofs without delaying production, and they can do so from anywhere in the world. You could even use RIPeXtend to submit and review your own jobs. Simply use the ONYX

Graphics web portal to submit the job. Work from home, work in a different part of the building — anywhere you wish! With the ONYX Web Portal and

RIPeXtend workflow, remote soft proofing has never been easier.

Why an ONYX ® Software RIP?

You’re Using a RIP Whether You Know It or Not

A RIP is a raster image processor. If you’re not using a software RIP, you’re probably using a hardware RIP. But what’s the difference? Hardware RIPs are built in to a printer’s on-board system where all processing is performed at the printer (like an office laser printer). Software RIPs are installed on a computer workstation that connects to the printer(s) via a dedicated cable or a network.

When you look at the pros and cons of a hardware RIP and a software RIP, it soon becomes obvious that there are many more pros with a software RIP.

In fact, there aren’t ANY cons, as the following comparison demonstrates:

Type of RIP

Hardware RIP

Software RIP

ONYX ® Media Manager

Easily Manage Medias and Calibrate

PosterShop includes an impressive range of default media and reference ICC profiles. With PosterShop, you can recalibrate your printer to your media as needed in response to changing print conditions. You can also import and apply custom ICC profiles.

Quick and Easy Re-Calibration

The Media Manager application dramatically reduces the time and effort needed to calibrate and color profile media. The new wizard-driven application walks you through each step of the process and includes visual tools that make each step faster and easier.

Instructions

Ink Restrictions are used to limit how much ink is printed on the media for a specific ink channel. For example, if you are using a CMYK ink setup, you may set a separate ink restriction for

C, M, Y, and K. Ink restrictions are particularly important with configurations that use light inks.

With a CMYKcm ink setup, for example, both cyan and magenta have two ink channels per ink. If cyan and light cyan are both set to

100%, your images will most likely bleed in areas where cyan (which is printed with both cyan and light cyan) is used.

It also includes a new profile grading system that helps you pick the right profile for your print application. This tool rates and compares all of the installed media profiles, taking the guess work out of which profiles are best suited for your workflow. Profiles are automatically rated on color gamut, print speed, color accuracy, and ink usage. You get a standard report on how well each media works for print applications such as fine art, CAD, signage, POP, proofing, and photographic reproduction.

Why an ONYX ® Software RIP?

You’re Using a RIP Whether You Know It or Not

A RIP is a raster image processor. If you’re not using a software RIP, you’re probably using a hardware RIP. But what’s the difference? Hardware RIPs are built in to a printer’s on-board system where all processing is performed at the printer (like an office laser printer). Software RIPs are installed on a computer workstation that connects to the printer(s) via a dedicated cable or a network.

When you look at the pros and cons of a hardware RIP and a software RIP, it soon becomes obvious that there are many more pros with a software RIP.

In fact, there aren’t ANY cons, as the following comparison demonstrates:
