Why an ONYX® Software RIP?
You're Using a RIP Whether You Know It or Not
A RIP is a raster image processor. If you're not using a software RIP, you're probably using a hardware RIP. But what's the difference? Hardware RIPs are built in to a printer's on-board system where all processing is performed at the printer (like an office laser printer). Software RIPs are installed on a computer workstation that connects to the printer via a dedicated cable or a network.
When you look at the pros and cons of a hardware RIP and a software RIP, it is obvious that there are many more pros with a software RIP. In fact, there aren't any cons.
Since its creation in 1989, ONYX Graphics has been a consistent leader in the digital colour printing marketplace. ONYX Graphics continues to hold 49% of the software RIP market share in the Digital Printers Market segment.* With ONYX Workflow products like RipCenter, you benefit from a single workflow solution that keeps your printers running at top speed while automating the production process.
