Easy-to-Use Universal Workflow Solution

How many different software RIPs does your shop use? More than one is too many! If you have different RIPs for different print devices, who is your expert on each RIP? How do you get consistent results across multiple devices?

With ONYX® ProductionHouseTM, you have one easy workflow that gets you great color on all of your devices. All of your jobs follow the same easy workflow and all of your printer operators use this same easy workflow, regardless of output device.

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.

Increased High-Production Throughput

When you simply cannot afford to have your printers at a standstill — for even a short time — you can’t afford to be without ProductionHouse. You’ll find ONYX Workflow products in more high-production environments than any other RIP product.

Ink Usage Tracking and Reporting

ProductionHouse 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.

Web Portal for Web-Based Print Job Management

Manage your print jobs from any computer on your network with a web browser. You can also submit jobs from a PC, Mac, or Unix-based compatible web browser on your network.

Superior Flatbed Workflow

Experience a faster RIP time when using Stochastic halftone screening. Tiles can now be processed individually, so printing starts when the first tile is processed. New Nesting in 7.0 automatically rotates tiles and jobs for better media savings and print speed.
