We&#8217;re looking for a simpler workflow.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was the theme we heard throughout PRINTING United Expo 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether attendees stopped by to see ONYX 25.5, learn more about ONYX Align, or talk through a specific production challenge, the conversations often came back to the same goals: eliminate manual steps, maintain consistent color, and gain better insight into day-to-day operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over three days at the Las Vegas Convention Center, we had the opportunity to connect with print providers from around the world, demonstrate new workflow capabilities, and learn what&#8217;s top of mind for wide-format shops today. Here&#8217;s a look at what we showed, what we learned, and what it could mean for your print business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What We Showed at the Onyx Booth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our booth conversations covered far more than RIP software. Visitors wanted to see how the different parts of production can work together to create a more efficient workflow from estimating to output.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>ONYX 25.5 Preview<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest draws at the booth was a preview of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/onyx-25-5-rip-software-coming-october-2026\/\"><b>ONYX 25.5<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including new capabilities such as Spectral Color Matching and Smart Spot Search.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spectral Color Matching generated plenty of discussion because color consistency remains one of the toughest challenges for wide-format shops. Visitors were especially interested in ways to achieve predictable color across different printers, media types, and viewing conditions without spending valuable production time on rework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart Spot Search also caught attention by simplifying how operators find and manage spot colors, helping reduce time spent digging through color libraries when preparing jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Workflow Automation Tools<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automation was another common theme throughout the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many visitors asked questions about workflow improvements powered by IPP printing and API enhancements. These conversations weren&#8217;t about adding more technology for technology&#8217;s sake. They were about removing repetitive tasks, reducing opportunities for manual errors, and connecting systems that often operate independently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many shops, productivity gains come from eliminating bottlenecks before a file ever reaches the printer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Onyx Ecosystem<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also demonstrated how Onyx solutions work together to support the entire production workflow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visitors explored:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/products\/onyx-align\/\"><b>ONYX Align<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for estimating, quoting, scheduling, and shop management<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>ONYX Hub<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for performance insights and analytics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>ONYX Go<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for flexible month-to-month software access<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The broader portfolio of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/rip-products\/\"><b>ONYX RIP products<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supporting production environments of all sizes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For shops trying to keep track of jobs, costs, production status, and output quality, connecting these systems can provide a clearer picture of daily operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_690765\" style=\"width: 595px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-690765\" class=\"wp-image-690765\" src=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124035.681-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"439\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124035.681-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124035.681-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124035.681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-690765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Visitors explored workflow solutions spanning estimating, production, analytics, and output.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><b>What&#8217;s New in Print Workflow?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While every shop is different, several common themes surfaced during demonstrations and conversations throughout the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Automation Is Moving Beyond the RIP<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many attendees weren&#8217;t asking how to print faster. They were asking how to reduce manual work before and after printing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions about workflow integration, automated job submission, and connected systems came up repeatedly. Shop owners and production managers are increasingly looking for ways to spend less time moving information between systems and more time producing work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Color Consistency Still Matters<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of equipment, applications, or shop size, color remains a priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visitors frequently wanted to discuss how to maintain consistent output across multiple devices and substrates while meeting customer expectations. Features like Spectral Color Matching stood out because they address real production requirements rather than theoretical color management discussions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Visibility Is Becoming a Competitive Advantage<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another recurring topic was operational visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many shops want faster access to answers such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which jobs are in production?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where are bottlenecks occurring?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are jobs actually costing?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which devices are operating most efficiently?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These aren&#8217;t new questions, but we heard them more frequently than ever. The ability to see production data in one place instead of across multiple spreadsheets continues to be a priority for many operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Behind the Scenes at PRINTING United<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trade shows often highlight finished products, but some of the most memorable moments happen before and between the demonstrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Building the Booth<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long before attendees arrived, the Onyx team was busy setting up displays, testing software demonstrations, configuring systems, and making sure every workflow was ready to showcase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s always a moment before the doors open when the booth finally comes together and the months of planning become reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_690763\" style=\"width: 673px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-690763\" class=\"wp-image-690763\" src=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-97-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"497\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-97-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-97-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-97.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-690763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ONYX team at PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>Real Conversations, Real Challenges<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of our favorite parts of the show was hearing the challenges shops are working through every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visitors didn&#8217;t just ask for feature lists. Many wanted to talk through specific production scenarios, from improving color consistency across devices to streamlining job intake and estimating processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those conversations reinforced something we already know: every shop is unique, but many of the workflow challenges are shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_690764\" style=\"width: 371px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-690764\" class=\"wp-image-690764\" src=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124040.333-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"361\" height=\"518\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124040.333-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-2026-10-26T124040.333.jpg 715w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-690764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Conversations often centered around practical production challenges and workflow improvements.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>Reconnecting with Customers and Partners<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PRINTING United is also an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the week, we caught up with customers, resellers, partners, and industry professionals who have been part of the Onyx community for years. Some stopped by to see what&#8217;s new in 25.5. Others simply wanted to share what has been working in their shops and what challenges they&#8217;re focused on solving next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those conversations are often just as valuable as the demonstrations themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-690767\" src=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-99-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"477\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-99-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/onyxgfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Image-99.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Looking Back and Looking Ahead<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Onyx booth during PRINTING United Expo 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversations we had in Las Vegas reinforced a common theme: shops are looking for practical ways to simplify workflows, maintain quality, and improve visibility across their operations.
