Andreas,
Seems like over kill in resolution to me. I'd run your raster images through
something like Corel Photo House and save them at a reduced resolution so
that they are printable. You might also try combining the tiles in something
like adobe Illustrator or Corel. I've been using the 2500c for about 8-9
months and it is a great printer for raster imagery and gives near photo
quality, but I've never approached the 400MB barrier even though I'm using
raster files in the 12-50 MB size with very complex MapInfo overlays.
I hope this helps,

Subject: MI Printing rasters on HP DesignJet 2500CP
Hi Listers,
we have a client who wants to print raster tiles (Tif, 300dpi, file size ~
4- 5 MB per tile), overlayed with vectors from MapInfo 5.5 on NT 4 SP 4 to a
HP DesignJet 2500 CP. The printer files grow up to 2 GB, which doesn't
exactly speed up the printing process. Using another single raster file of
about 400MB size, however, works fine: printer files are of a reasonable
size and printing time is acceptable too.
I wonder if anybody works in the same kind of environment and can help out
with a few hints.
By the way, Techsupport couldn't help here, and suggested using ProPress.
Cheers,
Andreas
