Not a problem - its the storage medium where the file is located Your file location is in a place where Onyx cannot write a settings file due to the nature of the storage medium. When you open a file in Job Editor a new file is created that stores any of the changes you made to the file. But...

Its your profile! Hi Yes a green cast means you have a poor profile. If you built your own custom profile it would go away and you would have neutral greys. As you suspected you cannot do this with the Onyx you have - you will need Production House to build the final part of your media...

Caldera PS rip weakness Vs Onyx QUOTE "Caldera also has a sub RIP that better processes JPGs and TIFFs which makes it a lot more advanced then either of the ONYX offerings currently. We use ONYX and like it very much for our needs, but I avoid PDFs like the plague do to so many variations and...

Onyx can help you achieve this: Separate your work into files that will produce a cut job of around the length Bob suggests as a maximum - any longer and you will lose accuracy on even the best cutters. Send all the files into the rip making sure the placement strategy is set to "print files...

Profiling Reflective Substrates Hi You can't profile reflective - not only in the physical sense (i.e.the spectro can be confused as you have seen) but more importantly even if you got the i1 to behave the results would be meaningless. By its nature the reading will be done at a specific...

Which Onyx product will suit your setup? Hi Onyx will be perfect for such a setup - we know many happy shops using Onyx with your devices. However I would choose ProductionHouse rather than Postershop. Postershop will only drive 2 printers at once - you have more than that so adding extra...

Summa & Onyx workflow Load the Onyx dvd onto the cutter PC but only select CutServer from the menu to load it on its own (you don't need a dongle) Once installed you will have to manually tell cutserver where the folder is on the network where the Onyx cut files are automatically placed by Onyx...

Onyx Ink Restrictions OK use the automatic ink restrictions and select a mid-level gamut to aim for (coated or similar - not maximum) as your media sounds as if it can't take too much ink. Once you have read the ink restriction go to the black diamond and have a look at the results. You...

Memory & network issues Please find suggestions below I have 2 problems. 1. I had to re-install PosterShop to a different computer and since then the only files I can open in Preflight and print now are .tiff files. On my old computer I was able to open .ai .eps. .tiff .jpeg .pdf etc. Is...

Onyx V11 Profiling Hi As Bly says you need to do some homework I'm afraid - the new system gives vastly better results once you have a handle on the basics. Regarding Ink restrictions you still have the old "legacy" route if you need it and can see the chroma curve charted out to allow you to...

It's not much different - no memory issues reported - job editor identical - faster rip times - Onyx has never supported direct ai files. 10/10!

Hi In the rip queue if you go to Setup-Rip Configuration-Configure Jaws Rip you get a dialogue which allows you to setup the Jaws rip – the setting APPLYIMGXFERFUNCS should be set to OFF and it should be ticked - do not try to set the value to ON just tick the box. Then ensure the file gets...

Yes - anything in particular you want to know?

Yes I understand - what I'm trying to say is they tried it - i.e. it's there in the software, but the results were poor and thus the route is to use the i1 (or similar) out of the printer - I don't suggest anyone use the on-board spectro Looks like this is the route this poster is going to use...

Thats right - the original poster has Onyx so that's why this info applies to him. They tried it and as the other post suggests the results were inconsistent due to the heat and media movement so its something that needs to be done with an external device and not with the internal spectro. You...

Just for clarity Just to qualify you cannot use the built-in spectro of the L25/L26/L28 latex printers to build icc profiles at all regardless of chart size etc. The full Onyx profiling process requires four steps - ink restrictions, linearisation, ink limits and icc profile. The issue is...

Yes the onboard spectro on the L26 is just for recalibrating existing profiles - to build your own custom profiles from scratch you will need to upgrade to ProductionHouse and buy an i1 - yes its manual but its no great hardship to use unless you plan on doing hundreds of profiles. You won't...

Its working OK in 10.2.5 - if you are on 10.2 then you can upgrade with 10.2.5 over the top of your current install for no extra cost - just download it. If you dont want to update you can try switching off "save a copy of the image" in the quickset you are using. Alternatively just use the...

Yes that's right Thrive is just the networked version of Onyx that runs an Adobe rip rather than a Jaws rip so if you like Onyx you'll like Thrive and vice-versa as they look and operate the same. One thing I would say is that the Adobe rip has the Adobe Normalizer that you wont find elsewhere...

It's not just a case of investing in the kit - its your time in understanding all the different ways your less-than-ideal rips work with their profiling process up to the point of icc build and then getting the results to look similar and understanding the i1 software too - at your stage this is...
