Seen before? Hi Yes I have a customer with this on a Scitex But a different model and also a Durst. it seems that when they recently left the proofing market to have a crack at the production market with the Production Suite rip they welded their very good color server to another companies...

Set it to "hold" You need to set "hold for Operator" check box in the quickset Advanced section.

Training is key dypinc everything you are trying to do is available in Onyx - your frustration is down to a lack of training. I would invest in getting someone in who is an expert in Onyx to show you where everything is and how to use it. Criticizing some software because you don't have a good...

360 to L26500 match Hi I've done this on a good number of occasions now - no problems to report. Colour gamuts are pretty close despite the ink limit fears on the 360. The main issue is you have to realise that the on-board icc profiling system is not the one to use if absolute colour...

Maintenance! Hi Hopefully simple one I've seen multiple times (I've sold over 100 of these) The head runs on wheels in a metal track. When tiny pieces of dirt get stuck in the rail / wheel the head "jumps" a tiny amount as it runs over it causing a slight difference in the print in the same...

Nope Hi You can't change this in any version of Onyx. What you can do is use the tick box underneath the crop mark box in the quick set to join all the crop marks together to form a fine line all around the image - but that's all.

No its the printer There is no function in Onyx to control a hardware take-up system - it is entirely printer related.

Almost correct! Remember that the ink restriction / ink limit will give you an overall maximum amount of ink that you cannot surpass. Thus if you ask for 50 50 40 100 you are getting 50% of whatever the ink limit decides is the maximum, 40% of the ink limit, 100% of the ink limit etc etc -...

Not with cc These are not compatible with cc I'm afraid.

reality check? With the printer off, the two way communication is lost and all that entails. You can rip a job in Onyx but I think that Caldera wants to ping the printer before it does even that as it wants to check what media is loaded - Onyx assumes it hasn't changed from last time or allows...

Ink Limit Hi Simple answer is you cannot avoid the 120% ink limit in the media families discussed - it is part of the software and the only way around it is to trick it by telling it you are using a different media family type that has a higher ink level allowed. The reason for this is that...

Fb500 Hi This is not a problem with the FB500 / 700 as previously quoted - nothing to do with the printer but a normal function of UV ink. In fact HP has one of the best performing ink in this regard (Oce has about 6 ink sets available as they have had big issues with adhesion and keep trying...

Hp8000 These were known for similar issues back in the day - it's not ink starvation to the heads (you can actually starve them by doing too many cleans as you have seen) It was often caused by the heads drying out on long print runs. One fix was to turn on the printing gutter (sometimes...

Light blue touch paper & retire... So - no point choosing a CMYK vaue to give a particular black output. Any RGB or CMYK value is converted into LAB by the rip and then turned into printer CMYK output, in which the black performance is controlled by the paper profile (ink limits and GCR...

Onyx 5.6 Yes there was a 5.6 - actually it was the first time the rip took on its current user interface and thus the earliest one that current users could comfortably go back and use. Thats where the good news ends though... There are no downloads anymore and even if you found someone who...

Overflood Vs Overprint Can you clarify - is it overprint or overflood? Overprinting is whether or not you want one colour to print on top of another or for the colours beneath to be removed so the top colour remains pure and isn't mixed with any underneath it. This is rarely used in inkjet...

Just for balance There certainly is a Thrive online manual - just hit F1 and you go straight there or click the Help button... Profiling option price varies although if you buy any version other than the base version of Thrive it is included. Crashing is a local issue that would need...

Scale Adjust In every Onyx profile there is a scale adjust feature. In Media Manager edit your profile and on one of the pages where you are editing the mode you will see it near the bottom of one of the dialogues. Its quite simple - choose a vertical length the same size as your tile and...

Barking up the wrong tree! Hi It's not the software doing this I'm afraid it's a "feature" of the Surecolor range. Since launch they have been plagued by irregular media transport - it is worse on heavier rolls and some printers are worse than others. Rips just pump out ones and zeros - the...

Onyx all the way Onyx all the way - simple queue to set up and use - most number of profiles in the industry - period. If you are finding it a nightmare to work in you may be using it in the wrong way. A real production rip like Onyx should be there to automate and streamline your workload...
