Auto-send print-ready production files to specific departments, or 3rd party imposition, RIPs, or cutters. Use tFlow's built-in collaboration, chat, and review feature with customers and your team to eliminate email chains, text messages and calls.

ONYX Thrive^™ software is a full featured, scalable PDF workflow solution based on the Adobe^® PDF Print Engine and optimized for superior performance for all sizes of print providers. ONYX software combines the proven Onyx Graphics technology platform with innovative tools and enhancements that simplify color printing workflow, improves output predictability, and increases shop profitability.

The ONYX Thrive Production Manager browser-based user interface enables workflow control from anywhere, optimizing both operator and output device productivity. ONYX Thrive manages wide format and grand format print production workflow. With the integration of the two solutions, wide format operations now have a true end-to-end workflow that allows collaboration from project inception through production, and automating key workflow stages to eliminate unnecessary touches, reducing errors and speeding throughput.

“We are excited to be working with Onyx Graphics to bring this unique integration to the market,” said Darrian Young, Vice President for Production Workflow at Aleyant. “It expands the ability of wide format operations to reduce costs and speed time to market by integrating the file preparation and submission process with the ONYX production workflow solution. We believe this integration is unique in the marketplace and is a logical partnership for Aleyant with its dedication to broadening the range of affordable solutions made possible by our open architecture.”
