I am a reprographics firm and some of my architects have switch to archicad! Do i need to purchase it to print? I use Kip printer with windows NT and if I do need to purchase it should I go for the pay per view
thanks

You should not.

Archicad/Plotmaker can create PDF or PLT files for you to print from.

Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply. So if my architects save them as plt or pdf and e-mail thems to me the line weights and Bitmaps should be ok to print as is

[TomWaltz]

Yes, they should be OK to print as is.

We have the Kip Starprint 8000 at our office, and print PDFs to it from Plotmaker(the sheet-space part of Archicad) all the time.

Just remember... what you will be getting will be an HPGL2 file if you get a PLT; allow the HPGL2 file to control the pens.
