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.
