Onyx Graphics driving Onyx Thrive software at FESPA Digital

Showing for the first time in Europe since its official release the most innovative version to date, Onyx 12, the company will be demonstrating its powerful, print workflow solution Onyx Thrive.

Onyx Thrive is a full featured, scalable workflow which is based on the Adobe PDF Print Engine and optimised for superior performance for all sizes of print service providers (PSPs).

With a presence in many partner stands across the show floor, visitors will witness the power of Onyx Thrive as it maximizes throughput with a high-performance software architecture that harnesses the true scalability of the Adobe PDF Print Engine.

It offers the unique ability to add RIP power, independent of adding devices, and ensures printers and cutters are fed at maximum capacity. Onyx Thrive creates automation in your production with the power of Quick Sets, to eliminate manual steps and create new revenue opportunities.

Also included is Thrive Production Manager which provides a real-time, browser-based dashboard into your print production from any location.

Onyx Connect, an open interface to connect business and production software

Onyx Connect JDF (Job Definition Format) technology, an optional module for Onyx Thrive, is an open system that provides a simple developer interface to connect a PSP’s current business workflow solutions to ONYX production software.

Onyx Connect technology enables business owners and production managers to gain greater insight into valuable production information such as estimated ink consumption, media usage and production times.

It also includes the ability to automate job submission through JDF and hot folders providing control of critical job settings, and reducing errors introduced by manual intervention during the production process.

Produce vibrant textiles with Onyx Textile Edition

Onyx Textile Edition is developed specifically for the large-format textile printing market and includes additional functionality such as Step-and-Repeat, Colorways and Ink Configuration Builder to save time and reduce waste.

Maximize throughput with a high-performance software architecture that harnesses the scalability of the AdobePDF Print Engine regardless of the number of output devices in the print production environment. Automate repetitive tasks, optimize media used and reduce waste using Quick Sets and advanced nesting.

For example, an eight-core processor computer can be maximized to run eight APPEs simultaneously with no reduction in speed, regardless of the number of printers being driven. Unlimited browser-based Thrive Production Manager provides a real-time dashboard into your print production from anywhere you can access the internet.
