ONYX Graphics has released Version 7.2 for its popular workflow software packages: ONYX ProductionHouse, ONYX PosterShop and ONYX RIPCenter. The new features in Version 7.2 are designed to boost productivity, help realize additional cost savings, and ensure consistent output quality. It is available now.
Version 7.2 extends the productivity of ONYX workflow software by adding support for new printers, cutters and color devices.
Drivers for the following printer models have been added: Epson GS6000, HP Designjet L65500, Seiko ColorPainter H-104S, Canon iPF605 & iPF720, and Graphtec Signjet 500.
Drivers for the following cutters have been added: Gerber M-Series and Roland GX Series.
Drivers for the following color devices have been added: Spectro Swing from Barberi, which supports both sheet-fed swatches and backlit and clear film media.
Included in all Version 7.2 software packages is a new dot pattern, "FDRP Enhanced," a new error diffusion dot pattern that produces finer, smoother output, especially in printers with "fixed-dot" modes. The results are most apparent in critical areas such as flesh tones and solid fill areas. FDRP Enhanced enables users to print at lower resolutions, thereby using less ink without compromising image quality.
Several enhancements have been included in Version 7.2 to continue to meet the high quality demands of ONYX users.
Improvements in the ONYX ICC Profile Generator increase accuracy and smoothness of grey and black generation while improving color output and accuracy on CMYK+ printers. Version 7.2 uses innovative dynamic ink separation technology that maximizes the use of the special printers' inks, while still maintaining accurate grey and spot color matching. This dynamic technology works in each print mode, so users get the best possible color on every printer media and resolution.
Version 7.2 includes support for HP Professional PANTONE(R) emulation technology on select HP printers. Also included are enhanced drivers for the HP Designjet L65500, 8000s, 9000s, 10000s, Z2100, Z3100 and Z6100 printers and HP's proprietary spot color mapping algorithms for more accurate matches of out-of-gamut PANTONE spot colors.
Integrated RAL and HKS color libraries for automatic professional color standards matching are now standard. In addition, the new PANTONE Goe uncoated colors have been added to the existing full PANTONE color matching library. Version 7.2 also includes support for automatic spot color matching in color blends, for easy and accurate color matching of gradient logos and graphics.
