ONYX or Photoshop for wide format printing

[G18241]

Have a friend who is starting up a printing business, she has been advised ONYX is better for wide format printing as apposed to Photoshop...would this be the case or is it a matter of preference / ease of use?

Cheers

You should just be sending hi-res PDFs to the printers RIP. As long as the artwork is the correct resolution and size you can use whatever software you want. I wouldn't necessarily use Photoshop to originate your artwork, especially for large format.

Not sure what ONYX software is? Sounds like it's the software that runs the printers RIP?

To be honest if she's starting a printing business she shouldn't really be asking this question.

AFAIK there is no such thing as ONYX photo software or similar. ONYX is a company that does printing though?
