Hi guys, We currently run Flexi 12 for two Mutohs and a Roland XR-640 (we use Versaworks too depending on the job) and are looking at acquiring an HP360. If we do we have the option of changing our software to Onyx Thrive or GMG Print Factory, what are your thoughts on these? I find Flexi OK but it does have a few glitches sometimes and I feel the user interface could be easier to work with. The previews too are low res and it would be great to have software which would be better able to have more consistent colour between the different machines. Looking at Onyx today and the HP profiles I was impressed with the amount of profiles available and at first glance, how much easier it is to colour calibrate your own profiles than Flexi. Thanks, Steve. Haha, I am on the opposite side of the coin.

Sep 1, 2016 - Hi guys, We currently run Flexi 12 for two Mutohs and a Roland XR-640. I agree Flexi was buggy last time I tried it. But have been considering trying it again. With SAi Pixelblaster (as with Onyx, Flexi, Ergosoft Posterprint and so on too. And the entire computer has to be installed again, and does not.

I have a latex. I find onyx really slow. I agree Flexi was buggy last time I tried it.

But have been considering trying it again. Chertezhi stanka s chpu bar. I do remember flexi and found the color profile building actually was better I thought. Onyx does work very well though. Stable usually.

Just slowwww and definitely lacking with cutting. Doing vinyl or print/cut jobs were better and easier in flexi.

I might sound more pro flexi, but I am in the dilemma as well. Just thinking about going the opposite way. I've always ran Onyx, Went from X10 to X12. X12 is a lot quicker than 10. Never had issues with it.

I have not used the others mentioned but as i've been told GMG is quite good but you pay for it. If you want the best colour output possible, then i'd recommend onyx. But id also recommend getting a 3rd party icc profiling software (I'll get to that) Profiling through onyx can be easy or complicated, depending on how accurate you want to get. There's a print read next method which is pretty simple, or you can do it all manually which is what i do. Onyx has great ink restrictions/ink limiting and all that.

The down side is that the onyx ICC engine isn't the best. It works with some printers but not all. It doesn't like my Oce Arizona. It makes all the high chroma colours go muddy. So i make my icc profile with i1 profiler and import it in.

More recently i've moved to using Basiccolor Print. And i haven't had any issues with either. Onyx works hand in hand with the X rite i1 pro, But can use a whole list of devices (I have a few Barbieri devices and works great) So if you get onyx, i'd recommend getting an i1pro package and you'll have more than you need for great colour and spot colour checks ect.
