Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1600 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer 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 sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're an AEC firm or engineering department running 50-200 plots daily.
  • You need dual-roll auto-switching for unattended overnight runs.
  • You handle a mix of A1, A0, and oversized plots and want media flexibility.
  • You require PostScript and HP-GL/2 for design and CAD workflows.
  • You print mostly line work where Bright Office Inks deliver crisp text.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you print 20-50 plots daily and want headroom.
  • It's fine if you mostly print B&W line work and color is occasional.
  • It's fine if you skip the dr (dual ink) config and run standard.
  • It's fine if you have wired infrastructure with optional Wi-Fi as backup.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need photo-quality color — go DesignJet Z6 or Z9.
  • Skip this if you only need 24-inch output — T530 or T730 fits better.
  • Skip this if you need built-in scanning — go T2600 MFP.
  • Skip this if your plot volume is under 50 per week.
  • Skip this if you need 44-inch or wider output.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1600 is a 36-inch B&W wide-format inkjet for engineering departments, AEC firms, and reprographics shops handling line work at production volume. Speed reaches 180 sec per A1 plot in mechanical CAD mode (roughly 3 A1 per minute). Resolution runs 2400 x 1200 dpi optimized with HP's thermal inkjet using HP Bright Office Inks for crisp line work. Standard config includes 2 rolls with auto-switching, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi. PostScript and HP-GL/2 driver support included. The regret on this machine: it's listed as B&W in our specs but the T1600 is a 4-color CMYK plotter — confirm whether you actually need the standalone T1600 (one ink set) or the T1600dr (dual roll plus second ink set) before ordering. Color renders fine on the standard unit. 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 engineering teams.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

Replacement high-yield cartridges (300 ml) are available, such as the HP 730 series (e.g., P2V71A for Matte Black), offering higher page yields and lower cost per print.

The HD Pro MFP includes a 5-camera CCD scanner for rigid media up to 15 mm thick, making it ideal for architecture, engineering, and GIS applications.
