Choosing the Right Plotter Printer

The basics on selecting a wide format printing plotter

Choosing the right plotter printer can be a daunting experience. The HP DesignJet T1100 and the HP DesignJet T610 plotter printers are viable options for your plotter printer needs. Examining the features of each plotter printer more closely will help you make a purchasing decision.

HP DesignJet T1100 24" and 44” Plotter Printer

The HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer is great for CAD and GIS professionals. The HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer prints CAD and GIS projects as fast as 35 seconds for a D-size or A1-size plotter paper. The HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer uses fast drying and smudge resistant HP Vivera plotter printer ink giving you pinpoint line accuracy. Using the HP Three-black plotter printer ink set, the system produces a neutral gray area emphasizing the detail in your PLOTTER PAPER prints. HP’s new Scalable Printing Technology incorporates a larger printhead allowing more accurate placement of smaller ink drops during high speed plotter printing. The HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer’s 256 MB RAM and 40GB hard disk reduces lock up making it ideal for printing large files.

The HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer satisfies the needs of architects, graphic designers, and other publishing professionals who need the highest quality plotter paper printing for presentation purposes. With pinpoint line accuracy, fast drying and smudge resistant ink, the HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer’s images offer the detail reminiscent of the best visual displays available today. The speed and plotter paper size capabilities of the HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer are great for commercial and industrial use. The 256 MB RAM and 40GB hard disk are ideal for the multiple demands of a team of architects or graphic designers who share the same plotter printer.

HP DesignJet T610 24” or 44” Plotter Printer

The HP DesignJet T610 plotter printer is a cost-effective alternative to the HP DesignJet T1100 plotter printer. If the majority of your plotter printing is rough drafts, or if you only rarely require the highest quality visual standards used for presentations, the HP DesignJet T610 is the plotter printer for you. The HP DesignJet T610 plotter printer does not feature Embedded Adobe PostScript 3 or PANTONE emulation. Paying extra for Adobe PostScript 3 doesn’t make economic sense unless you’re printing very complex documents or supporting a wide range of operating systems. PANTONE emulation is a technology used by experienced graphic designers where color matching is vital in a presentation. The HP DesignJet T610 plotter printer has 128 MB RAM, perfect for personal use or a small graphic design, engineering, or architectural firm. The HP DesignJet T610 plotter printer’s image quality will more than suffice for your everyday blueprint printing needs. 

Both the HP DesignJet T1100 and the HP DesignJet T610 use HP #72 Vivera plotter printer ink. HP Scalable Printing Technology uses a printhead construction yielding faster speeds and precise plotter printer ink drop placement making your work look its best. HP #72 Vivera plotter printer ink is fast drying and smudge resistant, consistently giving you crisp, clear, precise lines and color.
