We’re excited to share that the beta program for Onyx’s latest product, ONYX Balance has officially launched.
A select group of print businesses across the globe are now getting hands-on with ONYX Balance and their feedback will directly shape the product as we move toward a global launch later this year.
What is ONYX Balance?
ONYX Balance is a cloud-based price calculator built specifically for large-format print products and jobs. It helps print shops price work with confidence by connecting pricing directly to real production costs without the complexity of a full shop management system.

Here’s how it works:
- Enter real cost items like substrates, hardware, labor, printers, and more
- Build reusable jobs and products from those cost items
- Create calculations and adjust size or quantity on demand
- Calculate pricing and review a full cost and revenue breakdown, including projected margins
ONYX Balance is designed for small to mid-sized large-format print shops that want fast, cost-grounded pricing without the overhead of a full shop management system, and it’s free to use.
For shops that need more, ONYX Balance Plus offers an enhanced paid tier with expanded limits, Calculation PDF generation, Cost+ pricing, custom modifiers, discount schedules, and additional features.
ONYX Balance is also your entry point into the broader ONYX Align platform; a cloud-based order management system built specifically for the print industry. ONYX Align centralizes your operations from quoting to delivery, making it easy to generate accurate quotes, track jobs, connect directly to ONYX Thrive RIP, and integrate financials with QuickBooks Online, while adapting to your shop’s unique products, pricing, and workflows.
You can start with ONYX Balance and upgrade at any time as your needs grow, seamlessly expanding into ONYX Aligns more advanced capabilities without disrupting your workflow.
Why a Beta Program?
We believe the best products are built with direct input from the people who use them. The ONYX Balance beta program brings together a diverse group of print shops, varying in size, region, and workflow, to put the product through real-world use before we open it up to everyone.
Their feedback will directly inform the features, experience, and refinements that make it into the global release.
