HyperXpress
About HyperXpress
HyperXpress is a high performance printing and plotting software toolkit. It includes a highly
optimized raster image processor (RIP) designed to dramatically decrease the time it takes to print
large, complex (including raster and vector) images.
Benefits 1. Cost & Productivity:
HyperXpress can drive most of your large and small format printers extending their usable life and allowing you to preview
and edit images before going to paper. The bottom line is significantly reduced cost to your company.
2. 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.
3. 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 the HyperXpress toolkit.
HyperXpress' unique integrated post-RIP image previewer allows proofing of output
before printing, saving time and supplies.
4. 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. Features
- Handles enormous size input data, proven to handle file sizes exceeding 5GB.
- Processes huge hybrid files containing complex images with raster and vector data.
- Produces enormous size output, from the size of a stamp to images larger than a roadside
billboard
- Is much faster than printer or plotter RIPs.
- Reprints are a breeze - simply "RIP once, print
many"
- Automatically installs as a printer option in all Windows applications on your workstation.
- Drives most new and old, large and small format printing devices.
- Generates PDF files from any application for transfer over the Internet.
- Produces more consistent print jobs by driving printers at full speed.
- Has a rich set of image manipulation features including scaling, rotation, cropping, nesting, tiling, and color correction
which exceed the capabilities of printer RIPs.
- Contains a true print previewer that allows you to proof and edit a job before printing - saving time and supplies.
- Runs standalone or on a server thereby off-loading the local workstation from processing the image.
- Contains accounting features for tracking resource usage.
- Offers simple color controls:
- to enhance halftoning, which uses
Floyd-Steinberg's (error diffusion) algorithm for smoothing color transitions
- to apply gamma corrections to adjust color levels
- to adjust image brightness and contrast
Driving Printers & Plotters
HyperXpress drives most new and old enterprise printers and plotters at full speed. HyperXpress plots data at the printer's
maximum speed to prevent ugly banding caused by the starting and stopping of printheads. HyperXpress drives most
desktop PostScript and PCL printers and most inkjet and electrostatic plotters.
They include the following:
- CalComp
- Oce'
- Synergy
- Canon
- PCL devices
- Xerox/Versatec
- ENCAD
- QMS
- XeroxXpress
- EPSON
- Raster Graphics
- All PostScript printers (color separation option)
- Hewlett-Packard
- Selex
- Printers with Windows drivers
True Print Previewer
Our true print previewer saves time and money by allowing you to view and edit all output
destined for your printers and plotters. You can preview a plot destined for an E-size plotter on
the screen or on an A-size device to make sure the composition is correct. No longer do you have
to wait for hours to see a print or waste expensive inks and media on unwanted output.
Our HyperViewer allows you to visually verify and alter raster files prior to printing.
- Previewing & Editing - After a file has been RIPed, the image can be viewed
at various scales and image qualities before being sent to the printer.
- Image Manipulation - HyperXpress provides tools to rotate, crop and
annotate an image.
Image Sharing - Plot files can be efficiently saved and e-mailed for viewing in
a web browser.
Licensing Configuration
HyperXpress is available in three licensing configurations:
- Standalone: one copy dedicated to one workstation.
- Floating: multiple copies shared amongst users on your network.
- Server: one copy installed on a server and accessed from any workstation on your network. This allows for sequential
processing, which means that RIP processes are off-loaded from your workstation to the server.
For any configuration, multiple seat bundles are available from your dealer.
Available with the following interfaces:
- A Windows driver interface for printing or plotting within any Windows application and
optimized for applications such as Adobe, AutoCAD, Corel, ESRI, MapInfo,
MicroStation, Photoshop, SolidWorks, and many more.
- A standalone GUI for processing existing disk files.
- An ArcView extension to help with ERMapper and MrSID data.
Network Printing
Connectivity:
HyperXpress gives you the ability to print via your installed Windows system printers or
plotters to directly attached devices via parallel ports or SCSI adapters; and the ability to
print directly to Ethernet and TCP/IP ports with or without any Windows printer driver.
Shared Resources:
If you depend on printer sharing in a mixed operating system environment, then HyperXpress is
the ideal choice to maximize your printer connectivity.
Inputs
File Formats:
GIF, JPEG, PDF, PostScript, TIFF
Output Formats:
CCRF, HPRTL, JPEG, PCL, PostScript, RG, PTR, (PINEBUSH Raster Format)
