Print Modes Explained
• Express mode provides fast printing but image quality depends on all nozzles jetting ink. It is
best with images that do not have large areas of solid colour or high saturation.
• Production mode allows a wide variety of printing output. As with high-speed modes on any
inkjet printer, there is insufficient nozzle redundancy to produce flawless images all the time on
all media. As a result, it may be necessary to print some output in Quality Mode.
• Quality provides excellent image quality and is suitable for a wide range of image types and
looks good with most media.
• Quality-Density doubles the density for backlit media. For flatbed media that may warp or
move slightly from the heat of the lamps, this mode provides better image registration than
doing an Overprint because it is done in one gantry pass.
• Quality-Layered allows you to place multiple layers in one print job. It is most useful when
printing with White Ink (see Chapter:
configure any extra layers in the ONYX software.
Note: When Quality Density or Layered mode is used, there is a pull-down menu in the Print
Job module that allows you to select either Quality-Layered or Quality-Density (the menu
allows you to change how it was configured in your ONYX software).
• Quality-Matte provides a matte finish to the entire image. This is helpful on some media such
as FomeCore, GatorPlast or Styrene as a glossy image tends to have a matte line at the end of
each swath with these media. Quality-Matte resolves this issue.
• Fine Art is used when details are important and speed is not an issue. It is a good choice if
your image contains text or fine details and also solid colours.

50 Chapter 3 - Navigate the User Interface
To change parameter values, click on the field and this brings up an onscreen
keyboard so you can click on the numbers required. You can also use Preview
to drag an image to the desired position.
Displays information about the print job that is currently selected:
• Copies - Use the mouse to increase or decrease.
• Print Mode - Print modes are selected in ONYX Thrive. See "Print Modes
Explained" below for details of each mode.
• Print Direction - Bidirectional and Forward or Reverse unidirectional.
• Overprints - If the Overprint count is set to greater than 0 (zero), the printer
will re-print the image again many times on the same piece of media.
• Print Method - Flatbed or Roll.
• Mirror Image - Allows you to reverse the horizontal orientation.
• Step and Repeat - Select the number of rows and columns to determine
how many times an image will repeat on a single sheet of media.
NOTE
Some Quality print modes are also interchangeable at the printer UI. For example, if
Quality mode is specified in the submitted job, Quality-Matte or Quality-Density
modes may be selected in the Print Job module of the printer UI. This changes how
the job will print without resubmitting it from the workflow.
