Streamline
Job Management
PosterShop includes support for two printers with multiple
Hot Folders, used for specifying job properties. Print directly
from your creative application. Or drag and drop jobs into
the appropriate Hot Folder and, when the system detects an
available printer matching the job properties, printing begins
automatically.
Scale, Crop, Rotate, Apply Custom Tiling to Images
Pre-flight with professional tools that let you perform
difficult tasks easily and with consistent results from
one job to the next. Interactive sizing, cropping and
custom tiling, as well as full pan and zoom, instantly
shows on your display.
Make Color Corrections on the Fly
Adapt easily and quickly to your customers’ subjective
view of color. Novice and expert users alike will find
an intuitive color correction toolset that lets you quickly
and easily make changes without leaving PosterShop. Change
brightness, saturation and contrast for the image globally,
or individually affect highlight, mid-tones and shadows.
Powerful CMYK and HSV tools allow more advanced users to
fine tune images to meet the demands of the most exacting
clients. View up to four color filters at once to compare
changes, or select a specific color – or a range
of colors – and replace it with another to fine tune
even the most difficult prints. All without touching the
original file.
Manage Medias and Calibrate As Needed
PosterShop includes an impressive range of default media
and reference ICC profiles. With PosterShop, you can
recalibrate your printer to your media as needed in response
to changing print conditions. In addition, you can import
and apply custom ICC profiles, as well as create and
edit density calibration tables and control ink restrictions.
Preflight Puts Everything at Your Fingertips
Preflight is easy to navigate. Key actions and controls
are located in the main tabs, and you can pre-flight
directly from the queue.
Superior Contour Cutting Workflow
Printing and cutting has never been easier or more profitable.
Now you can take standard PostScript® files with
contour cut paths and print them on any printer, then
cut on any of a range of industry contour cutting devices,
including Gerber®, Graphtec™, Mutoh® Ultima™,
Mimaki®, Roland®, Summa®, and Generic cutters.
You can also use standard inkjet Print and Cut devices
from Graphtec® and Roland® to easily print-and-cut
jobs.
Whether you’re already offering print and cut services
or don’t know anything about it, PosterShop offers
the best workflow. Not only can you nest, resize and copy
contour cutting print jobs, but you can also tile them
right within the PosterShop workflow. The RIP-Queue automatically
adjusts the contour files and handles all of the details.
PosterShop maximizes your flexibility
when printing and cutting contours, by completely handling
the printing of "registration
marks" recognized by many "electric eye" cutters.
The RIP-Queue prints these specific marks needed by your
contour cutter on any of the hundreds of different printers
that it supports. Registration is then automatic when you
use the Onyx CUT-Server to cut out the job after printing.
An optional barcode reader can automate the process even
further, so operators can get more cut jobs out flawlessly.

Web Portal for Web-based Print Job Management
Manage your print jobs from any computer on your network
with a web browser. You can also submit jobs from a PC,
Mac, or Unix-based compatible web browser on your network.
PosterColor™
PosterColor™ is a proprietary color rendering technology
that gives CMYK posters brilliant-looking saturated colors
when you apply ICC profiles. Many print operators know
that applying ICC profiles will dull-down the colors in
CMYK print jobs. With PosterColor™ you get the gray-balancing
and hue matching benefits of ICC color management, but
with the fully-saturated look that your printer inks can
actually achieve.
