thats apples and oranges....

if you just need a RIP, then get onyx, if you want to do more get flexi

 

[MobileImpact]

depends on the printer and what you are looking to do with it. If your doing any print to cuts etc, I would go with flexi. Much easier to use. (It can be done in onyx but involves using Illustrator. If your ripping much larger files or don't have a need for print to cut, go with onyx.

Bottom line, both will do what you want to do. Onyx is a rip only program, while flexi lets you rip and output, and is also a damn good vector program for cutting vinyl and doing layouts etc.

Good Luck,

Kevin

thanks guys your input is great.. were a sign shop that just got a printer.. and before all we ever used was gerber omega 1.0 and a 15 inch plotter

and now we got a 63 inch printer and plotter

people tell us that onyx is the way to go... but i think flexi would be better being that its more of a design program and im the only one that knows a lil bit about illustrator

thanks a lot everyone

I've never used Onyx, but I've used a lot of vector software and have to always recommend Flexi as the #1 for production.

...and Flexi will import your Omega PLT files.

Flexi can also be setup to look like Omega.
