Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1700 44-inch 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 print CAD, GIS, or technical drawings at high volume
  • You're an engineering department, GIS shop, or large architecture firm
  • You need 44-inch width for E-size technical drawings
  • You print wide-format daily or near-daily
  • You want production-class throughput
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if some prints are smaller technical sizes
  • It's fine if you don't need photo-grade color
  • It's fine if your workflow is from AutoCAD or GIS platforms
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you print fine art or photos — get a Z9
  • Skip this if your wide-format need is mixed-use — Z6 is more flexible
  • Skip this if wide-format is weekly or less
  • Skip this if your max size is D-size — 24-inch is cheaper
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1700 44-inch is a wide-format technical inkjet plotter — built for high-volume CAD and GIS output rather than photo or fine art. 6 inks for accurate technical color, with PostScript and a fast print engine for production-class wide-format throughput. The T1700 platform is purpose-built for engineering and architecture environments where wide-format printing happens daily and the bottleneck is plotter speed, not ink chemistry. Network connectivity supports the standard HP enterprise security baseline. Where buyers regret it: comparing T1700 prices against the Z6 without realizing they're different platforms for different jobs. T1700 is purpose-built for technical workflows at high volume; Z6 is a more flexible mixed-use plotter that handles both technical and graphics work but doesn't hit the T1700's throughput on pure CAD output. Match the platform to the actual work — a busy engineering office wants a T1700; a small architecture firm with mixed needs wants a Z6. Best for engineering departments, GIS shops, and architecture firms with sustained high-volume technical print needs running daily.
