As stated in our previous News from the HP Stand editorial, at time of launch there will be no 'PostScript onboard' version of the new HP Designjet L25500 latex printers, but HP have been working closely with all of the major RIP manufacturers, and have announced that drivers will be available at end-user launch-time from eight of the leading suppliers, specifically these are:
* Onyx - PosterShop
* Caldera - VisualRIP
* Colorgate - Production Server
* Wasatch - SoftRIP
* SAi - FlexiSign and PhotoPrint
* CADlink - Signlab and Digital Factory
* AIT - Shiraz
* ErgoSoft - PosterPrint
HP Designjet L25500 demo units are expected to start shipping to their international distributors and resellers over the coming months, with end-user installations expected to begin in earnest from January 2010 - all of the above named RIP manufacturers will have drivers ready for their software, with additional software vendors no doubt following suit in due course.
