Professional Quality Color, Every Time
Default color calibration and ICC® profiles—optimized for a variety of ink
and media combinations—provide consistent, accurate color “out of the
box” for those just starting in large-format printing.
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
The RipCenter queue appears as a normal network printer, so you can print
directly from any application and from any Mac or PC on the network, you
can also drag and drop jobs into a Hot Folder. 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
The included ONYX AutoUpdate feature keeps your RipCenter application current with the latest 7.0 product features and printer drivers by periodically verifying your RIP installation and then automatically downloading only the software updates you need.
