Onyx Graphics has announced the Onyx GamaPrint line of raster image processing (RIP) software. The Onyx GamaPrint line is designed to make large format printing easy while maximizing printer performance for users needing economical workflow solutions for aqueous and solvent inkjet printers. The product line includes two versions: ONYX GamaPrint SE and ONYX GamaPrint Pro, both of which are built upon the award-winning ONYX colour technology and reliable production-level RIP engine. Onyx GamaPrint is compatible with PostScript language.
These products expand the Onyx line of RIPs from entry-level sign shops to print providers focused on high productivity, said Walter S. Noot, President and CEO of Onyx Graphics, Inc. Now with the more easy-to-use Onyx GamaPrint line of products, even those businesses just starting out or those who only occasionally print large format will have the advantage of the ONYX workflow and colour excellence.
Key Features
With a WYSIWYG graphical user interface, OnyxGamaPrint software offers a simple process-and-print workflow. Its manual workflow includes easy colour management and a wide variety of convenient image layout, edit and print functions. The workflow toolset also includes sizing, cropping, colour correction, contour cutting and nesting.

Onyx GamaPrint software supports TIFF, JPEG and JPEG 2000 file types and is reliable with PostScript and PDF languages.
Onyx GamaPrint software includes a fully-licensed Pantone spot colour matching library, making spot colour matching easy and accurate. Other colour features include colour management presets, separate matching methods for raster and vector images and embedded ICC (International Colour Consortium) profile support. Onyx GamaPrint software also provides color-accurate image previews on-screen, which keeps ink and media usage to a minimum.
