Autodesk Launches Instant Printing with HP for Efficient Teamwork in Building, Manufacturing and Civil Infrastructure Sectors

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) and HP (NYSE: HPQ)(NASDAQ: HPQ) today announced the availability of instant printing capabilities for HP Designjet series printers with Autodesk® DWF™ Viewer, a free, downloadable viewer for 2D and 3D design workflows, and DWF™ Composer software that enables users to review, mark up and revise drawings.

HP Instant Printing for Autodesk applications offers extended project teams the first-ever single-click printing of large-format, highly detailed drawings, plans and maps from a software application. For a limited time, Autodesk and HP are offering a free copy of DWF Composer software to customers in the United States who purchase an HP Designjet series printer that includes the new instant print capabilities.

For greater team productivity, faster design reviews and cost-effective responsiveness, project members can actively participate in the design process by creating, managing and sharing designs as DWF files, and printing them instantly on HP Designjet printers. A result of the two companies’ long-term, strategic alliance to help joint customers realize their ideas faster, HP Instant Printing for Autodesk applications helps AutoCAD® users and others in the building, manufacturing and civil engineering fields share information across the project lifecycle.

“Autodesk and HP are delivering solutions to help designers accelerate productivity and experience more efficient design review processes,” said Amar Hanspal, vice president, Autodesk Collaboration Services. “As leaders in our respective technology categories, Autodesk and HP are bringing together the best resources for our customers to maintain the full integrity of the design throughout the engineering workflow, including collaboration with partners and sub-contractors, as well as clients – regardless of partners’ or customers’ technology investments.”
