Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1700 PS 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 architecture, engineering, construction, GIS, or MCAD shop that prints 50-300 D-size plots a month with a mix of CAD line work and rendered/mapping output.
  • You need PostScript 3 native — handles complex GIS and CAD PDFs without a separate RIP.
  • You print high-quality color renderings AND technical drawings — the 6-color HP 730 ink set (CMYK + grey + photo black) covers both well.
  • You need 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution and 0.1% line accuracy on technical drawings.
  • You need real device security — HP Wolf Pro Security, Secure Boot, firmware integrity validation, 500 GB self-encrypting hard disk.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 300-500 D-size plots a month — the machine handles it but you'll burn 130-ml cartridges fast; switch to 300-ml HP 730s for the savings.
  • You only need print, not scan — this is the print-only T1700 PS, not the SD Pro 2 MFP. If you need scan/copy add a separate SD Pro 2 scanner or look at the 1GY94E bundle.
  • You're replacing an older T1500 or T2500 — operator workflow ports cleanly, the 4.3-inch touchscreen is the same family.
  • You only need single roll — that's what 1VD87A is. The dr variant adds the second roll if your media-switching needs increase later.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 30 plots a month — you're overbuying. Get a DesignJet T630 or T830 instead.
  • You need dual-roll for auto-media switching — get the T1700dr (1VD88A) variant or the SD Pro 2 MFP bundle.
  • You need scan and copy — this is print-only. Get the SD Pro 2 MFP (1GY94E) bundle.
  • You don't have floor space — this is 70.9 x 27.4 x 39.3 in and 196 lb on its stand.
  • You don't want HP dynamic security — HP 730 cartridges have HP-chip authentication and firmware can disable non-HP cartridges.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1700 PS 44-in (1VD87A) is HP's single-roll PostScript production plotter for AEC, GIS, and MCAD professionals printing 50-300 D-size plots a month. Print speed is 116 D/hr (26 sec per D-size in fast mode) at up to 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi with 0.1% line accuracy. The 6-color HP 730 ink system (cyan, magenta, yellow, grey, photo black, matte black) handles both technical CAD drawings and rendered/photographic output — uses 130-ml or 300-ml cartridges. The chassis ships with 128 GB processing memory and a 500 GB self-encrypting hard disk for HP Wolf Pro Security, Secure Boot, and firmware integrity validation. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) plus USB Type-A host with native PostScript 3, PDF, and HP-GL/2. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles roll loading and job management. Dimensions are 70.9 x 27.4 x 39.3 in (with stand), 196 lb. The thing buyers regret: not stepping up to the dual-roll T1700dr (1VD88A) when their media-switching needs grew — adding a second roll later means a different chassis, not an upgrade. The other regret: 130-ml cartridges drain fast on color jobs; budget for 300-ml HP 730s if your monthly color volume is steady. For genuine technical print production with PostScript and security, this is the right tool. For lighter loads, the T830. For dual-roll or scan/copy, the dr variant or SD Pro 2 MFP bundle.

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 1 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Works well for our signage printing business, though the learning curve on the software side took longer than I expected. The color accuracy is solid once you dial in the settings, but I wish the media handling was a bit more intuitive for thick materials."
