Hi, I am trying to back up as many settings in Onyx 10 as I can, from 'Configure Printer' I can export all my 'Quicksets' and 'Media' - do the colour management setting get exported with the quicksets export ?, and are there any other 'exports' I'm missing. Thanks

For the immediate and short term we are using generic profiles - we will look to profile our equipment very soon and use those profiles, but regardless, we receive many images with embedded profiles that are different to our working space, or have no embedded profile - we need to educate our...

Can I ask where you flatten, in the RIP (ie keep transparency live) or do you flatten when making your PDF's, and do you have a colour managed workflow - or do you keep all that out of the PDF, applying profiles prior to creating the PDF. Thanks

Yes, completely hijacked - no worries :) On a related side issue, an above poster raised an interesting question, does Onyx 'Thrive' replace the likes of Rip Centre, Postershop and Production House - or are these still current supported products. Back to the thread. OK, should I assume PDF is...

I see that my version has the Global Graphics JAWS interpreter, can I assume problem being - the predominant page layout applications are written by Adobe (Illustrator and Indesign) - and when Adobe changes something in the way its applications write an output file ie PDF or PS - JAWS has to...

I am submitting PDFX-1a:2001's to the RIP. To ensure consistency would I also need to have the profile: 'ISOcoated_V2_eci.icc' installed and selected as the Output Intent Profile Name when making the PDF, at present we have the Coated Fogra39 (ISO 12467-2:2004) selected - could this lead to a...

Hi What is considered the best workflow to create a file for an Onyx RIP - driving a Large Format printer, creating a Postscript file or going the PDF route, I read about many problems with transparency. At present we create a PDFX-1a:2001 by saving as from Illustrator or Indesign, this forces...

Hi, Re: Onyx 10 ICC Profile setup I am hoping to find out what others select in the 'Color Management' section of a Quick Set, for large format printing. Reading so much stuff about how CM can create problems for transparency in a RIP. I am using the supplied profiles, for convenience at the...

Although not fully solved part of our issue appears that we were suffering with an issue with the 'bleed' function not coming through into a PDF, which now seems to have been fixed by Adobe, so we are using that, although the PDF is still including the bleed area, so the RIP puts crops around...

Hi, yes but the rip will simply put crops along that outline, so both the outline and crops are on the outer edges of the bleed, not where the trim is to take place, I want to inset the crops by the bleed amount, I know some rips have that feature, just wondered if Onyx had that or there was a...

Hi, What is the best method for getting correct panel trim marks when producing pop up displays. When tiling say a 3x3 the 'split' marks are correct, but with top and bottom of middle panels we find we still need to measure with a ruler, in from the edge of the print or outer marks, the amount...

Sorry, but I found a dialogue within Onyx to control a few hardware features, under: Configure Printer/Media/Options (highlight the media you want to check) You can change: Quality Mode Speed Paper Feed Cutter etc etc. I found in the 'Paper Feed' section, changing from the default 'Roll1' to...

Thats assuming you want a rich black, for solid areas or where you want the black to be punchy - in which case yes you would want 50 50 50 100 or what ever combination you find works best on your media and without drying issues. But if you want TEXT to be just 100% black, or say 100% yellow...

Thanks for that useful reply, that has resolved this particular issue. Onyx has some great features ! 'you can set the black to "icc pure hues" ' by: To better describe the location: in Onyx PreFlight>Color Managment>Change Profiles>Profiles>(CMYK or RGB) select the ICC Pure Hues icon to...

I've used 'colour correction' to change the black in a job to 0:0:0:100, and yes you could setup a filter, but you have to rely on the conversion to do exactly the same thing each time , if you changed anything (ie media or application black) it would'nt pick it and change it back to...

I assume you are using Onyx ? that seems to be at fault, at least as long as the Acrobat 'Outpreview' dialgue is reporting correctly (ie C0 M0 Y0 K100). We have another RIP where this doesn't happen, and has a Force Black' option. Having text as 'rich' black is not what you want ! Well lets...

Hi, PDF black text (measured as C:0 M:0 Y:0 B:100 in Acrobat pro), but when output through Onyx Production House v10 black is splitting as C:91 M:94 Y:96 B:47. Is there not a feature in Onyx v10 to 'force black', I am aware of this issue from a long time ago on other outputting devices - I...

Hi Sending roll fed print jobs via Onyx 10 Production House, to an Encad 850, we find the take up roller does not work, any ideas ?, I'm sure its a RIP issue, as the take up works with our other RIP. Thanks

Thanks. Where in V11 is this function, I'll have a look in the same place in v10. We don't do any vinyl cutting here, wondering how can the contour cutting feature can allow us to very the crop/registration mark length.

Hi, Re: Onyx Production House 10 Does anyone know if you can change the crop mark length, and even its thickness (stroke). Thanks
