HyperXpress is a high performance software raster image processor (RIP) designed to enhance your productivity by dramatically decreasing the time it takes to print large, complex raster and vector images. HyperXpress is seamlessly integrated into your design environment to enable fast, high quality printing to any desktop or wide format output device.

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 runs seamlessly inside Windows applications such as AutoCAD and ESRI and provides a simple intuitive method to quickly print raster and vector images. HyperXpress also has a rich set of scaling and annotation features that far exceed the capabilities of printer RIPs.

Pinebush Technologies, Inc. initially developed Hyperplot to solve printing and plotting bottlenecks in the semiconductor industry. It is now the industry standard plotting solution for Electronics Computer Aided Design (ECAD). 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.

Key Benefits

• Expense Management :
  Extend the useable life of your current plotting and printing assets. Reduce costs by previewing and editing images before committing to print.
  
  
• Productivity:
  Significantly reduce the time it takes to print your huge, complex image. Do not wait forever. Get your plots now.
  
  
• Versatility:
  HyperXpress is available in a number of different configurations, including Standalone and Client-Server. With our Client-Server configuration, off-loading the local workstation from processing the image results in increased performance and user productivity. Even more, HyperXpress automatically installs as a printer option in all Windows applications on your workstation.
  
  
• Increased Functionality:
  HyperXpress provides a full complement of image manipulation features including scaling, rotation, cropping, color correction and tiling. While many firmware/hardware solutions offer some combination of these, few can match the functionality provided by HyperXpress.
  
  
• Reliability:
  Like its predecessor HyperPlot®, the undisputed standard for plotting in the semiconductor (EDA) industry, HyperXpress is a proven technology. Together, these printing solutions are serving over 35,000 users at businesses worldwide, including AT&T, ENCAD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Motorola, Sun Microsystems, Xerox, and many more.
  
  
• Previewer and Markup Annotation:
  HyperXpress' unique integrated post-RIP image previewer allows proofing of output before printing, saving time and supplies. Redline your print with lines, text, notes, arrows, and more.
