Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T520 Printer Series 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 a small-to-mid architecture, engineering, or design firm (3-10 seats) that needs in-house A1/D plot output with photo-quality detail.
  • You print 10-50 A1 plots per day — 35 seconds per A1, around 70 A1 prints per hour, at 2400 x 1200 dpi.
  • You want a floor-standing 24-inch wide-format printer with a real 4.3-inch color touchscreen — not the 2.65-inch display on the T100/T120.
  • You print mixed CAD line drawings and color renderings — HP Thermal Inkjet with the HP 711 4-cartridge set handles both, plus HP Click software for project-set workflows.
  • You need wireless and mobile printing — Wi-Fi, HP ePrint, AirPrint, Mopria standard.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to ~75 A1 plots a day — the engine handles it but the HP 711 ink cartridges (29-ml CMY, 38-ml or 80-ml black) drive per-plot cost up vs. the T530's 80-ml options.
  • You can live with 1 GB memory — fine for typical CAD plots; very large GIS files or complex Adobe rasters may bottleneck.
  • You only print from one roll — single roll only; dual-roll auto-switching is a T1600DR / T1700 feature.
  • You can live without PostScript — this is non-PostScript. The T1600 PS / T1700 PS are the PostScript step-ups.
  • You want occasional letter/A3 prints from the input tray — the front input tray handles cut sheets, but it's not as clean as a dedicated office printer.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need to scan large originals — this is print-only. The MFP equivalent is the T2530 / T2600.
  • You need 36-inch (E-size) or 44-inch output — this is 24-inch only. The T520 is also available in 36-inch (CQ893C), or step up to the T530, T730, or T1600.
  • You print high volumes of presentation color or GIS maps for outdoor use — dye-based CMY isn't lightfast. Z-series pigment printers fit better.
  • You need PostScript — this model is non-PostScript. Look at the T1600 PS or T1700 PS for PostScript workflows.
  • You print more than 75 A1/day on tight deadlines — the T730 (25 sec/A1) and T1600 are real production engines; the T520 is the sweet spot for small offices, not departments.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T520 24-in is HP's mid-tier wide-format CAD plotter — a single-function inkjet printer for small-to-mid architecture, engineering, and design teams (3-10 seats) that need in-house A1/D plot output with photo-quality detail. It prints A1/D pages in 35 seconds (mechanical) from the roll, around 70 A1 prints per hour, at up to 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi using HP Thermal Inkjet and the HP 711 4-cartridge set (dye-based CMY, pigment K). Roll handles up to 24-inch widths; the A4/A3 input tray takes 210 x 279 to 330 x 482 mm cut sheets. Memory is 1 GB — enough headroom for typical CAD plots. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi standard; mobile printing via HP ePrint, AirPrint, and Mopria. Dimensions are 987 x 530 x 932 mm (38.9 x 20.9 x 36.7 in with stand) at 34 kg, with a real 4.3-inch color touchscreen for media-roll management and reprint queue. The thing buyers regret: not paying the small extra for the T530, which is the next-gen successor — same chassis, faster A1 (30 sec), more polished UI, slightly better paper handling, similar price. If you're shopping new, get the T530; if you're buying refurbished or want the T520 specifically for HP Click compatibility and known driver behavior, this is fine.
