PANTONE® Color Matching

ONYX® PosterShop® includes a fully licensed PANTONE® Color Library, which makes spot color matching easy because more accurate PANTONE spot color matching happens automatically during processing. The ONYX RIP recognizes PANTONE-named colors in PostScript or PDF files and matches the colors as closely as possible. PosterShop also includes a media profile gamut report that shows you just how closely your media can match each PANTONE color.

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.
