Our PosterShop family is no exception.
We've been at it longer than anyone else and you'll find that more professionals use Onyx software than any other large format digital printing software on the market. PosterShop allows you to take full advantage of your specific printer's features and functions with drivers available for today's most popular printers.

And, because different material, ink, printer and image combinations yield different results, you can choose from a variety of screen and dithering patterns.

Depending on the package you choose, you have the ability to drive multiple printers, even an option to run multiple RIPs.

Our Server software gives you the ability to run unattended.

Now, that's productivity!
We've always operated on the idea that an open architecture gives you the flexibility to configure and grow an economical system that works the way you do.
PosterShop is at home, as part of a stand alone system or at the heart of a multi-platform creative production environment.
Even if you start with our PS version you can upgrade to take advantage of additional features found in our more robust packages without ever having to pay a price penalty. That's a good deal!
Save time and headaches with the ability to pre-flight PostScript files to the screen to immediately observe orientation, font and other problems that slow down production.

PosterShop accepts images from a multitude of sources and file types.
Open the file, size, crop, tile, color correct and print. That's efficiency!
So, if you need a system that's easy-to-use, will grow right along with your printing needs, works fast and hard, and prints great color, PosterShop from Onyx Graphics is as far as you need to look!
