Onyx Graphics Inc. has announced an entry level RIP called Imagez RIP ideally suited to wide format printers.
Dean Derhak, director of product management at Onyx said that, "Aqueous inkjet printers are often found in corporations, law firms, universities and hospitals, which use them to create signage, posters and presentations. These groups have brought their printing in-house to save money on outside services. However, they have found that standard operating system printer drivers are lacking in vital features. Onyx Imagez software is an economical RIP that gives in-house users the tools they need to reduce media usage and produce great color."
The software gives users the same Onyx colour engine as Onyx production RIP solutions, but with a simplified operating interface.
Onyx Imagez software supports aqueous inkjet printers from Canon, Epson and HP as well as entry-level solvent printers from HP, Mimaki, Mutoh and Roland through an easy-to-use interface.
The RIP can produce an on-screen proof, saving time and money on test prints and it can also includes an a utomated or manual print nesting feature. Pantone spot colour matching is included.
All the standard file inputs are accepted and other features include support for media recalibration, a job queue list, auto-centering either horizontally or vertically, easy colour correction, proof text watermarking and tiling.
