hello I'm Brett Howell product manager at onyx graphics onyx software has always been known
for printing large high-quality images but did you know that onyx can also be used to
produce wallpaper graphics today I'm going to walk you through some of the steps of creating
a wallpaper design using onyx software during this process I'll be using features
found in our onyx textile products including step-and-repeat and colorways let's get started
the first thing I'm going to show you is how to use the onyx step-and-repeat feature to create a
repeated pattern this can be an easy way to create a custom pattern for a wallpaper application here
is an example of a wallpaper pattern created and printed using onyx software now let me
show you how to build this in job editor select an image file you would like to use to build a
seamless pattern then on the preview and size tab set the size of the image you want to use
in your pattern for this print I'm using a six inch size now when using onyx textile products
you will see a patterns tab in job editor with this tool you can easily set the desired size
of a pattern or control the number of repeats in a given size now for this job I'm going to
use the full width of my material which is 41 point 6 inches I also need about 40 inches of
total printed media now you could also build this file using horizontal repeats or vertical repeats
and if your pattern requires a gap between images we have a feature that lets you choose the color
you want to fill in that gap in this case I don't need a gap notice you'll see a full
color manage preview of the pattern throughout the entire print process giving you confidence
that what you see is what you'll print once my design is completed I'm ready to send it
my printer I select the print tab and submit it's that easy building patterns for wallpaper in onyx
is pretty simple going from design to printing in just a few minutes now what happens if you want
to apply different color combinations to the same pattern to create different versions of
the same wallpaper design well in onyx textile we have a powerful tool called colorways let's
use the pattern we just created and show you how to apply different color combinations to it okay
first let's go back to the file that we created and go back into our patterns tab now I'm going
to enable colorways here at the bottom and go into my colorways setup notice here the file
has different channels for each of the different parts of the file I'm going to apply an existing
colorways to this file you see here in the corner of the colors changed and I'm going
to apply that to my job now the file has changed completely it would be ready to print but I want
to go in and edit some of these colors so back to colorways setup and I'm going to select channel 2
I'm going to apply a different Pantone color to this now the Pantone I want is 0 72 so I do a
filter for that select the color apply it and now the color shows up in my preview let's do
it again channel 3 let's change this color to 3 1 7 so I apply the color and there you
have it now I like this combination better so I want to save it I'm going to save this as 403
that way if I ever need to go back to this combination it's they're ready for me once
I've applied the color I go back to my print tab and hit submit now if you go
into rip-queue you'll notice that both of the files that we've submitted are
ready here to be printed there's my green pattern and my pink one
