With the recent release of version X10 of production RIP software, Onyx Graphics, Inc. adds support for the new Pantone Plus series, the next generation of the Pantone Matching System and the Pantone Fashion + Home System Colour Libraries.
Users of Onyx Production House, Onyx PosterShop and Onyx RIPCenter™ version X10 RIP software will see immediate compatibility with content creation software also using the Pantone Plus series, leading to easier processes, shorter timelines and improved Colour matching capabilities.
"We have enjoyed a long-standing, collaborative partnership with Pantone, sharing a goal of delivering technology innovation that heightens Colour consistency and impacts the success of print service providers," said Dean Derhak, product director at Onyx Graphics. "Support for the new Pantone Plus series in our production RIP software gives print shops easier working processes, shorter design-to-print timelines and improved digital print compatibility. We also have customers providing paper and textile print products for markets using the Pantone Fashion + Home System that need easy Colour matching to that standard."
Pantone is the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design and print industries. With Pantone Plus series and Pantone Fashion + Home colour definitions incorporated into Onyx production RIP software, operators can simply process print jobs containing named Pantone spot colours, and the software will automatically match output to the Pantone colours as closely as possible. This capability extends to all printers supported by Onyx production RIP software including CMYK, CMYKOG and RGB photo imaging print devices.
"As a global leader in colour technologies, it is our philosophy and our commitment to empower our clients to become leaders in their own industries," said Andy Hatkoff, vice president of technology licensing and business development at Pantone. "For printers and production experts, that means having the processes to efficiently and accurately reproduce colour across a wide range of applications. We are very pleased to have had such a long-standing and rewarding relationship with Onyx Graphics, and welcome its support of our colour technology in the wide format digital printing market."
Support of the new Pantone Plus series and Pantone Fashion + Home colour libraries saves operators time by eliminating manual input or colour definitions, thereby reducing inaccuracies in the final output and increasing efficiency of the printing process.
