Onyx Graphics, Inc. announces global launch of ONYX 19 software

Going bigger, bolder, and beyond the limits of wide-format printing

SALT LAKE CITY, July 1, 2019  —Today, Onyx Graphics, Inc., announced global availability of ONYX 19, the newest version release of the company's industry-leading wide-format RIP and print workflow software. Introducing the Spark Engine and DeviceLink+; ONYX 19 brings new cutting-edge technologies to go bigger, bolder and beyond the limitations of wide-format print for all print applications including soft-signage and textile. The Spark Engine is a new performance platform bringing RIP speed increases up to 400% and printer performance increases up to 200%. DeviceLink+ is an all-new system of easy-to-use colour management controls to achieve consistent colour across an entire site without the need to read in new swatches or use a colour measurement device.

"We're amazed at the response ONYX 19 received at our FESPA announcement last month," said Bryan Manwaring, Director of Product Marketing at Onyx Graphics. "Customers are already seeing the Spark Engine at work through increased production capacity while DeviceLink+ is creating new possibilities to achieve outstanding colour output that can all be automated at the click of a button."

ONYX 19 also introduces new Step and Repeat functionality for a 600% performance increase; new dot pattern technology for the smoothest output on all wide-format print applications including soft-signage and textile; adds nest trim box features for weeding and finishing print and cut jobs; and is the first and only solution to provide the ability to build iccMAX v5 profiles. Coupled with the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) 5.1, ONYX 19 is a winning combination for any print application. 

Highlights of ONYX 19 include:

• Advanced compression algorithms in the Spark Engine increase RIP speeds up to 400%
