Onyx 12.2 now released
The latest version of Onyx Graphics' software features improved RIP and data transfer processing speeds, new multi-roll functionality, job scaling and rotation, and cut workflow enhancements.
Highlights of the new software include: a new multi-roll user interface that delivers an interactive workflow showing a live view of loaded media with automated roll selection between jobs in the RIP-queue, and enhanced media and page size handling to streamline printer configurations and job setup.
A new user-interface shows device-specific information based on bi-directional data including easily visible ink levels, printer status and media information.
Cutting workflow updates include the ability to handle multiple cut-path prefixes and duplication of cutter device settings, enabling greater automation. Production time is reduced and workflows are streamlined with job scaling and rotation directly from the file-open dialogue before sending jobs to the RIP-queue.
There is full support for the Konica Minolta Autoscan Spectrophotometer FD-9 colour device, touting fast and flexible fully automated chart reading to improve print workflow and productivity, designed for colour management and large industrial print shops. RIP and data transfer speeds are faster, with optimised colour calculations across all applications.
Version 12.2 is available for the full Onyx software product line including Thrive workflow software and ProductionHouse, PosterShop and RIPCenter RIP software. The new software is available to order now.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
