A winning combination of speed between Andretti Autosport and ONYX SiteSolutions

“We have no time for guess work with our time constraints, it has to be perfect and it has to be now! ONYX does that for us.”

“We originally bought ONYX PosterShoandretti with ONYX RIP softwarep in 2009 but as we upgraded our HP Latex machines and bought more machines and new computers in 2016, we needed a single solution to run everything on a network. We’ve always been impressed with ONYX software so as we upgraded our hardware it was only natural for us to upgrade to the network license ONYX Thrive to run all of our machines across our entire site.

But it’s so much more than that, we’re a race team, we travel all over the country and we often need work printed at the drop of a hat or if we have a last minute change on the car that needs to be wrapped to show our colors and those of our sponsors. ONYX Thrive, as part of the ONYX SiteSolutions product family, has unbelievable RIP speeds (we like speed, we are a race team after all) and it’s dependable! I know that the job I did 5 seconds ago is going to look the same as the job I did 6 months ago, we have no time for guess work with our time constraints, it has to be perfect and it has to be now! ONYX does that for us.

Another major factor for us is color – nobody can hit Reflux Blue like ONYX – it’s been the absolute NEED to hit this color, consistently, reliably and on different materials that has been a victory for us and has really made us advocates of the software. All I need to do is go to my job editor, adjust some settings and we have the blue nobody else could hit. Simple!

Since moving to ONYX Thrive, we’ve won back to back Indianapolis 500’s – just saying! Jokes aside, we love that ONYX gives us the confidence that the jobs we print are going to print correctly the first time, in a timely manner, and match what we did 6 months ago, nothing matters more in our business than speed and reliability.”
