Outstanding color accuracy and consistency ONYX color science and proprietary color engine ONYX Graphics developed its own color engine Color Matching Module (CMM) primarily to address specific color and profiling issues unique to large-format inkjet printing technologies and applications. The ONYX CMM can overcome specific challenges in solvent and UV ink printing such as heater settings, shiny untreated vinyls and printing on non-white surfaces. It maximizes results under low ink conditions and automatically measures and compensates for non-standard inks. It is designed to deliver better neutral, saturated and dark colors. ONYX Graphics is the only RIP software manufacturer with a seat on the International Color Consortium (ICC). ONYX Graphics color scientists contribute to the improvement of ICC specifications and color management workflow. This leadership in color management results in superior color reproduction for ONYX users that gives them a competitive edge over print shops that use other color management engines. Automatic PANTONE spot color matching ONYX ProductionHouse Océ Edition software includes a fully licensed PANTONE color library. Accurate PANTONE spot color matching takes place automatically during processing. The ONYX RIP recognizes PANTONEnamed colors in PostScript or PDF files and matches the colors as closely as possible. Custom spot color Create your own custom spot colors to match colors across different media. ONYX ProductionHouse Océ Edition software has the ability to create custom spot colors for any object that you can accurately measure with a color sampling device. With the capability to accurately match spot colors, you can take the guesswork out of color matching accuracy. ONYX PosterColor software makes color pop Using the PosterColor rendering intent boosts the color saturation without changing the color hues in the image output. Reds will stay red and blues will stay blue but with more color, while your ICC gray balance stays smooth. ONYX Profile Generator Stop color tweaking every print job! When profiles don t match your ink and media, your colors don t come out right. If you need to tweak the color of every job to get it right, you need ONYX Profile Generator. 4 Sleep Active Sleep Uses large rolls that must be kept warm

You can achieve better color! With ONYX Profile Generator, you can build great ICC profiles for whatever ink and media you re using, so the color comes out right the first time and every time. With a highly intuitive graphical interface, you can quickly and easily build great ICC profiles. You can now get consistent color across devices. Easy recalibration tool With RIP-Queue, if color shifts over-time, it s easy to recalibrate your printers quickly without rebuilding ICC color profiles. ONYX Profile gamut report Quickly and easily adapt to your customers subjective view of color. ONYX ProductionHouse Océ Edition software includes a media profile gamut report that shows you just how closely your media can match each PANTONE color. It helps you set customer expectations before printing and avoid frustration and costly reprints. The gamut report shows the delta E for each PANTONE color. ONYX Media Manager Dramatically reduce the time and effort needed to calibrate, create, and edit color profile media. The wizard-driven application walks you through each step of the process and includes visual tools that make each step faster. It also includes a new profile grading system that helps you pick the right profile for your print application. This tool can rate and compare all of the installed media profiles, taking the guesswork out of which profiles are best suited for a given application. A delta E < 2 shows there will be no color difference. A delta E < 5 can predict slight differences but is usually considered a sellable color. For each specific PANTONE color, you know in advance how closely you will be able to match it. 5
