Highest Performance, Highest Capacity, Lowest Cost Raster Image Processor (RIP) Solution for the GIS, CAD, and other Technical markets

September 26, 2005 - Albany, NY

Pinebush Technologies, Inc., the leading developer of high performance printing and plotting software for semiconductor, CAD, GIS, A/E/C, and other technical markets, today announced the availability of HyperXpress® 5.0.  HyperXpress is a high performance software raster image processor (RIP) designed to enhance productivity by dramatically decreasing the time it takes to print large, complex raster and vector images.  HyperXpress is seamlessly integrated into design environments to enable fast, high quality printing to any desktop or wide format output device.

HyperXpress was created by Pinebush Technologies after solving the high performance plotting problem in the semiconductor industry with its now de facto standard HyperPlot ®.  This high performance technology is now available inside HyperXpress for GIS, aerial photography, satellite imaging, civil engineering, architecture, and various other CAD and scientific applications.  HyperXpress is available in three versions for different environments: Desktop, Network, and Server.

HyperXpress offloads the printer and does all the RIPing (Raster Image Processing) on a workstation.  Images processed by HyperXpress will get to paper faster, and be of higher quality than if the printer tried to do the work itself.  Large data sets often cause the printer to run out of memory, or print slower than when driven by HyperXpress.  HyperXpress drives printers and plotters at full speed and only requires a minimal amount of memory to be installed on the output device.

“HyperXpress is suited for small to large offices”, said Robin Warren, Pinebush Technologies’ Director of Operations.  “Our Desktop solution is terrific for small offices or single-user situations.  The Network product is an extraordinarily cost-effective solution when there are multiple users and the Server product can satisfy the largest of installations.  HyperXpress is extraordinarily easy to use and has been thoroughly battle-tested with the thousands of users from every major company in the semiconductor industry”, concluded Ms. Warren.

HyperXpress is currently in use by multiple city, state, and military organizations in the government sector, telecom companies, architectural firms, and other GIS and CAD companies.

Availability and Pricing

HyperXpress 5.0 is available September 26, 2005.  HyperXpress is priced significantly less than competitive RIPs, beginning at $595 per single copy for the Desktop version.  HyperXpress evaluation software is available at Pinebush Technologies’ web site: www.pinebush.com.
