Onyx Graphics (Salt Lake City, Utah), today announced the global availability of Onyx 22, the company’s newest software version release of industry-leading wide-format RIP-and-print workflow software. Onyx 22 introduces a new drag-and-drop user experience for file management and Quick Set automation, smart job submission from design to print, artwork placement controls for flatbed and DTG printing, and easy-to-use tools for everyday automation. The software also introduces colour tools for increased colour output accuracy and an all-new Onyx Color Reference Library to easily match color for any printer. This dynamic reference library highlights in-and-out of gamut colours and can be printed or used in Onyx software to know what colours are possible on each device and media combination.
“Software has to be fast, reliable, and easy-to-use in today’s printing environment,” said Matt Crawford, Director of Product Marketing at Onyx Graphics. “The tools, technology, and controls for everyday automation in Onyx 22 are designed for the modern user, and continue our vision in providing superior software solutions to print businesses across the globe.”
Highlights of Onyx 22 include:

• Smart job submission from design to print automation

• Auto-trim for flatbed and DTG printing
• Automated image cropping using Quick Sets
• Printer versioning and auto-backup
• D65 10-degree observer ICC profile build options for textile printing
• Snapshot colour calibration for contone printers. A contone is a laser printer that begins to approach continuous tone quality by varying the dot size. However, unlike continuous tone, which can blend inks more thoroughly, contone has a limited number of dot sizes, and dithering is still used to make up shades. Dithering is a technique where tiny dots are printed in patterns in order to create the illusion of tones and colours that are theoretically impossible to reproduce.
