![]() ![]() Also worth noting is that any valid comparison of speed between the two would have to be Caldera 10 vs. It would depend a little more on your situation which might be the better deal.Īlso a note on speed: There is a perception out there that Caldera is faster than Onyx, but from my experience - which is fairly substantial - that's much more due to the fact that Caldera is usually running on a Mac or a stand-alone Linux box whereas Onyx is often running on some wheezy old Windows machine that's loaded down with bloatware than any difference between the RIP's themselves. Fact is in the 211 configuration, Thrive costs the same as PosterShop. (Edited to add: I should have gone and looked at the price list before I wrote this. Of course I'd be happy to sell you either, or even come up and demo them both, as well as install, profile and train. ![]() I do myself - I do not own a Windows machine - and it works very well. Yes, you can run Onyx just fine through Parallels. Set up and profiled correctly, either one will do what you need it to do. You can of course get opinions from anyone that one or the other sucks or is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's really a personal preference thing. Also, since HP made the 360 a contone-only machine, a good deal - but not all - of that capability has been taken away, so that's not so much of a factor.Īs far as ease of use goes, I'd honestly say they're about the same. ![]() However, truly understanding the process enough to take advantage can take quite some time to learn. Conceivably to start you could even get by with RIPCenter.īeyond that, personally, if done correctly, I prefer to do color management in Onyx as opposed to any other RIP, because it offers the most control over the printer to someone who truly understands the process. PosterShop will do you the exact same job for a lot less money. True, Thrive has Adobe PDF Print Engine, and PosterShop is Jaws, but in your application, you will never see any difference. It's just way too much money for no benefit in your operation. As a dealer for both Caldera and Onyx, I think I can steer you in the right direction.Īnd my first and foremost piece of advice would be: To run just one latex machine, do not buy Thrive. ![]()
