Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript Printer is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're an AEC firm printing 24x36+ drawings on a single media type (bond, vellum, or gloss).
  • You print under 100 plans weekly.
  • You need PostScript 3 and HP-GL/2 native support for CAD output.
  • You want a 500 GB drive for stored jobs and reprints.
  • You print line drawings, renderings, and proofs in color.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you mostly print bond and only occasionally need vellum.
  • It's fine if your team is mixed Mac/Windows running CAD.
  • It's fine if you sometimes print from mobile via Wi-Fi.
  • It's fine if you use HP DesignJet Click for printing without specialized CAD drivers.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you switch between bond, vellum, and gloss frequently - get the T1700dr.
  • Skip this if you need 64-inch wide media - get the Z6 Pro 64-inch or Z9.
  • Skip this if you need photo-grade output - get the Z6 Pro with Vivid Photo inks.
  • Skip this if you don't print wide-format weekly - the economics don't work.
  • Skip this if you need scan capability - get the SD Pro 2 MFP.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript is a wide-format plotter built for AEC firms - architects, engineers, contractors - that print 24x36 and larger drawings on a 44-inch roll. It uses HP Bright Office inks for line-drawing crispness and supports HP-GL/2, HP-RTL, PostScript 3, PDF 1.7, and TIFF natively. Single roll feed (the T1700dr trim adds dual-roll), 500 GB internal hard drive, and front-mounted 4.3-inch touchscreen for walk-up control. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, walk-up USB, and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n). Print speeds quote 'pages per minute' loosely on plotters - more useful is the line-drawing throughput, which runs around 116 A1 prints per hour in line drawing mode. The honest regret: this is single-roll only. If you switch frequently between bond and vellum, you'll be loading and unloading rolls all day - the dual-roll T1700dr trim earns its upcharge there. For an AEC firm that uses one media type and prints under 100 plans per week, the single-roll T1700 is the right entry.

FAQ

HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript Printer, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript Printer ships with starter ink cartridges. The starter cartridges have a lower yield compared to the high-yield options. The high-yield cartridges, such as the HP 730 series (300 ml), include Matte Black (P2V71A), Photo Black (P2V73A), Cyan (P2V68A), Magenta (P2V69A), Yellow (P2V70A), and Gray (P2V72A), offering significantly more capacity. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript Printer is a wide-format plotter designed for AEC firms, supporting large-format prints up to 44 inches and using HP Bright Office inks for line-drawing crispness. In contrast, the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E78625dn is a floor-standing A3 color MFP designed for departments of 15-50 users, offering printing and copying at 25 ppm in both black and color, scanning at 90 ppm, and a monthly duty cycle of 110,000 pages. The DesignJet T1700 is ideal for architectural and engineering firms needing large-format prints, while the E78625dn is better suited for office environments requiring high-volume color printing and scanning. For small offices needing versatile color printing, the E78625dn is a more practical choice.
The HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript Printer is designed for AEC firms that print large-format drawings, making it less suitable for typical small business needs. It supports a high volume of large-format prints but lacks the versatility of a standard office printer. For small businesses requiring standard document printing, a more conventional printer like the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E78625dn would be a better fit.
Yes, the HP DesignJet T1700 PostScript Printer supports color printing. It uses six individual ink cartridges (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Gray, Photo Black, and Matte Black) to produce high-quality color and monochrome prints. This makes it suitable for architectural and engineering firms that require detailed color and line drawings.
