PINEBUSH Technologies, Inc., of Albany, NY is introducing a high powered AutoCAD printing RIP software product, called HyperXpress®, at the Autodesk Design World this week.

AutoCAD raster image data, when overlayed with large amounts of vector data, can create files too large and complex to be printed - even with printers fully loaded with memory. HyperXpress is optimized for this AutoCAD environment. The largest AutoCAD data files can be efficiently processed on all Windows platforms. Unlimited size printouts can be produced on all desktop printers and large format plotters using an automatic stripping and paneling feature. HyperXpress also includes a WYSIWYG print previewer that allows the user to view, validate and modify the verified printout before sending it to the printer, thus saving time, paper and ink on bad printouts.

PINEBUSH's flagship product, HyperPlot®, is the worldwide standard printing solution in the semiconductor design industry with over 35,000 users. Very complex "chip" designs can exceed 2 gigabytes in size. Printouts can be more than 30' x 30' in size.
