Allplan has its own raster drivers for HP DesignJet printers that support Hewlett Packard’s (HP’s) printer language called RTL (Raster Transfer Language) or that use HP's Raster Language Library (RasterLib). These printer drivers are especially useful should you want to print large-format drawings and layouts as raster drivers have the following advantages: they speed up the printing process, the quality of the output is high and, last but not least, they are very reliable. To use a raster driver, a Windows printer driver of the same type must always be installed.
The HP-RasterLib driver set optimizes the use of HP's new printer series. This ensures optimum usage of all the options provided by the devices. Compared with RTL drivers, printing is more precise.
This driver set allows you to specify the level of quality depending on the paper type set. Various levels are available for each paper type. In addition, a number of advanced options are available, e.g economy mode (the options available vary depending on the driver selected).
Note: A RTL driver and a RasterLib driver are available for some devices. You can generally use either driver; however, output can differ due to the color profiles used. You should therefore always use the same driver for a project.
When you have selected a raster driver, the Windows printer driver is no longer used to create the output data for the printer. But it is still used to query the properties of the printer. These include paper size, print resolution, print quality and hardware interfaces.
