Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer 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 architect, engineer, GIS analyst, or AEC firm printing technical drawings, maps, and renderings at 24x36 to 44-in width.
  • You print 100-800 sq m/month — the T1700 is the CAD/GIS workhorse below the production-class Z6.
  • You need a 6-ink pigment chassis (CMYK + chromatic red + gray) for accurate technical color, lines, and renderings.
  • You want native PostScript and PDF 1.7 (the T1700 PostScript variant) so AutoCAD, Revit, and Adobe files print straight.
  • You need HP Secure Boot, whitelisting, and an encrypted HDD for AEC and government compliance.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print occasional photo posters — it works, but Z9+ is the photo answer.
  • You print mostly mono CAD — it works on the 6-ink chassis but you're not using all the inks; T630/T650 is more economical.
  • You don't need dual rolls — single-roll is fine; if you do, go T1700dr (W6B56A).
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 1,500 sq m/month — step up to a Z6 production chassis with faster mode and bigger duty cycle.
  • You need a vertical trimmer — not on the T1700; only the Z6dr/Z9+dr have inline V-trimmers.
  • You print fine-art photo gallery work — wrong chassis; Z9+ has the 9-ink chromatic gamut.
  • You need a built-in scanner — separate HP HD Pro 2 42-in or SD Pro 2 44-in scanner accessory.
  • You print under 30 sq m/month — the T1700 is overspec'd; T230/T250/T630 desktop covers low-volume CAD.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer (W6B55A) is HP's 44-inch CAD/GIS workhorse — sits below the production-class Z6 and above the T-series desktop plotters. Six pigment inks (CMYK + chromatic red + gray), 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi, A1 plain output as fast as 21 seconds (mechanical), and a 500 GB self-encrypting HDD for AEC and government compliance. Native HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL print AutoCAD/Revit drawings without translation overhead; the T1700 PostScript trim adds Adobe PostScript 3 and PDF 1.7 for design workflows out of Adobe Illustrator and Bluebeam. HP Secure Boot and whitelisting are why most municipal and federal AEC contracts spec the T1700 instead of the older T-series. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles roll-loading, ICC profiles, and basic queue management on the bezel. Buyers regret: assuming the T1700 includes dual rolls (it doesn't — the dr variant is W6B56A) and underestimating the 70.9-in footprint. Comes with printheads, intro HP 746 cartridges, stand, media bin, spindle, and 3-in core adapter. 1-year limited warranty; add a Care Pack at PO time for next-business-day on-site.

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.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We use this for large format architectural drawings and it handles the 44-inch width perfectly. Print quality is sharp and the software integration with our CAD programs has been seamless so far."
  • ★ "Been printing posters and signage for my small design business for about 18 months now. The T1700 does the job well, though the ink costs add up faster than I'd like and the setup took longer than expected."
  • ★ "Needed something reliable for engineering blueprints and this machine hasn't disappointed. Color accuracy is consistent and the 44-inch format saves us from having to tile smaller prints together."

FAQ

HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (904) 579-2558 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

The HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer ships with starter HP 746 ink cartridges, which are included for initial setup. These starter cartridges have a lower yield compared to the high-yield HP 730 300-ml series, which are recommended for ongoing use. The high-yield cartridges (HP 730) offer a capacity of 300 ml per color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Matte Black, Gray, and Photo Black), reducing the need for frequent replacements. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer is a large-format inkjet printer designed for CAD/GIS workgroups, offering 44-inch wide printing with six pigment inks and a 500 GB self-encrypting HDD. In contrast, the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E78625dn is a floor-standing A3 color laser MFP with a 25-ppm print speed, a 110,000-page monthly duty cycle, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen for scan-to-network workflows. The DesignJet T1700 excels in large-format technical drawings, while the E78625dn is better suited for high-volume office document printing and scanning. For small offices needing large-format capabilities, the DesignJet T1700 is ideal, whereas the E78625dn is better for general office use.
The HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer is well-suited for small businesses that require large-format printing, such as architectural or engineering firms. It offers fast A1 output (as quick as 21 seconds) and supports CAD/GIS workflows with HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL. However, its large footprint (70.9 inches) and specialized use case may not be ideal for general office printing.
Yes, the HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer supports color printing with six pigment inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Matte Black, Gray, and Photo Black). This makes it ideal for high-quality CAD/GIS and design workflows. If you need a color laser alternative for office documents, consider the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E78625dn or other HP Color LaserJet models.
