#Raster Printing
6 messages in this thread
I would like to know what anyone would recommend as a windows based raster
printing image handler that will print to the large format color plotters such
as HP Designjet, Summa, Encad Novajet III, and LaserMaster. I don't really need
image editing… I just need something that has really good image dithering
algorithyms that will boost a 1024×768 image up to poster size.
Does anyone know anything about Raster Print?
TIA.

Thanks, Ted. I think I saw Raster Print in the AutoCAD companion catalog.

Craig, I have been working with a company called ImageWorx, they have a
Postscript RIP called Ripware for Windows and it does a great job of sending
files to my NovaJet III. I use TGA's in CorelDraw to create very nice
presentations with antialiased text and vector art. Give them a call ask for
Gary and tell him that Mike from San Diego sent you the info.

Craig – there are a lot of hot products out there to handle NJ III's
and HP 650's. Check out the PhotoScript board and software for Pisa
Systems (313-451-2556) and Imagez from Onyx Graphics Corporation
(801-568-9900).
They will refer you to dealers in your local area. We are running a PhotoScript
24 board loaded w/48 Mb of RAM on a 100 Mhz Pentium, and it can turn loose the
computer from plotting a 2k resolution image in approx. 20 mins. Match this
system up with the proper media, inks, color matching software – and the
results are striking. We ahve several sample images mounted in our showroom,
and our customers believe them to be photographic enlargements until we point
out what they really are. They are NOT photo quality – – – when viewed up
close.
But – from more than 3 feet away, it's difficult to tell the difference.
