20 Jan The Giant Graphics Behind Reading and Leeds Festivals

Imaginators know that accuracy, speed and colour consistency are all essential for creating the kind of stunning results our clients have come to expect.

We serve market sectors including music, events, experiential, sport, retail, exhibition and outdoor advertising and our for highly efficient workflow and the consistency and quality of output, we rely on using ONYX Thrive, which we’ve scaled up as our business has developed as the software platform to drive our large, wide and superwide format digital printing systems.

Matt Tydeman, Production Director at Imaginators said: “ONYX Thrive is a uniquely scalable solution and has grown with our business. It has become the end-to-end workflow solution we have come to rely upon to ensure maximum productivity and accuracy whilst avoiding costly downtime”.

“With ONYX supporting our workflow we can ensure image and colour accuracy, with superfast image processing and production speeds, and consistent colour across multiple industrial output devices”.

“We particularly enjoy the functionality of a true end-to-end Adobe PDF workflow from file submission through to colour management, printing and automated cutting, which brings peace of mind to reducing proofing cycles, reprints and providing a ‘right first time’ output.”

Imaginators work closely with brands and their agencies to provide end-to-end solutions, often using giant graphics. During 2018, its projects have included some of the most iconic music festivals in the UK and high-profile sporting events.

“We often work to extremely tight deadlines,” added Matt. “Onyx’s QuickSets with unlimited Hot Folders helps to speed up production and minimise errors, with the ability to RIP and print multiple files across multiple devices on the fly and simultaneously. This is a huge advantage which helps ensure we meet deadlines and maintain our quality and service standards.

“Our production team have grown with ONYX, which is now a familiar and dependable platform and we’re excited to also explore the functions of ONYX Hub as we plan to integrate this into our Workflow.”
