Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1700 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 a design firm or AEC office producing renderings, photographs, and color-heavy plots.
  • You need 44-inch width for oversized presentations and signage.
  • You require dual-roll auto-switching for mixed-media unattended runs.
  • You need PostScript and HP-GL/2 for design and CAD workflows.
  • You print 50-200 plots daily mixing line work with full-color images.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you print 25-50 plots daily and want headroom.
  • It's fine if you mostly print line work but want color image capability.
  • It's fine if you skip the optional accessories like the take-up reel.
  • It's fine if you have wired infrastructure with Wi-Fi as backup.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you only print line work — T1600 saves money.
  • Skip this if you need 60-inch width — DesignJet Z9+ Pro covers that.
  • Skip this if you need built-in scanning — T2600 MFP.
  • Skip this if your volume is under 100 plots per month.
  • Skip this if you need photographic color accuracy — Z9+ with 9-ink fits better.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1700 is a 44-inch color wide-format inkjet for design firms, AEC offices, and reprographics shops handling renderings, plots, and large-format graphics at production volume. Speed reaches 116 sec per A1 plot. Resolution runs 2400 x 1200 dpi optimized with HP's thermal inkjet using a 6-ink set (CMYK plus Photo Black and Cyan or Gray, configuration-dependent) for both line work and image output. Standard config includes dual rolls with auto-switching, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi. PostScript and HP-GL/2 included. The regret on this machine: at 44 inches and 6-ink chemistry it's positioned for image-heavy work — if you only plot line drawings, the T1600 at 36 inches and 4 colors saves money and doesn't lose quality on schematics. Cartridge yield runs 130 ml per color tank, and the take-up reel and stacker are optional accessories. PostScript and HP-GL/2 are standard, and HP Click and HP DesignJet PrintOS provide cloud monitoring and job submission for distributed design teams.
