Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet Z9+ 24in Postscript Printer 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 photo lab, fine-art print shop, or pro photographer doing 17 to 24-in gallery prints — 9-ink set with chromatic green and chromatic blue gives you a wider gamut than the Z6.
  • You need an embedded i1 spectrophotometer for closed-loop color calibration so prints match across the day, the week, and across machines.
  • You print 100-1,000 sq m/month and want a chassis built for daily photo and graphic-design output.
  • You print mixed photo-paper and matte fine-art and want short-term color stability under 1 dE2000 in 5 minutes (you can ship the print without a 24-hour cure wait).
  • You'd like the option to add HP Gloss Enhancer (2QX55A upgrade kit) so glossy photos have uniform sheen across the page.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print CAD and maps — it works, but the Z6 6-ink chassis costs less and uses less ink for non-photo workloads.
  • You don't need a vertical trimmer — the 24-in Z9+ is single-roll only; the dr/V-trimmer is 44-in only.
  • You don't have HP Click or SmartStream — the printer ships ready for both, but if you're using a third-party RIP confirm it's HP-certified.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need 36 or 44-in output — wrong size; pick the W3Z72A 44-in.
  • You print under 50 sq m/month of photo work — the Z9+ is overspec'd; a Z6 24-in or even a T230 covers light use.
  • You're printing technical CAD only and don't need photo gamut — a Z6 24-in saves money on chassis and ink.
  • You need a built-in scanner — separate HP HD Pro 2 42-in or SD Pro 2 44-in scanner accessory.
  • You don't have HP-certified service nearby — i1 spectrophotometer service requires a trained tech.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet Z9+ 24-in PostScript Printer (W3Z71A) is the photo-grade member of the DesignJet Z lineup at 24 inches wide — 9 pigment inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, photo black, matte black, chromatic red, chromatic green, chromatic blue, gray; gloss enhancer optional), 5 universal printheads with 21,120 nozzles total, and an embedded i1 spectrophotometer from X-Rite for closed-loop calibration. Print speeds run 55.7 m²/hr fast on plain media (13.4 m²/hr normal on coated, 3.5 m²/hr best on glossy). Resolution is up to 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi with HP Pixel Control for smooth gradients. The thing photo buyers love: short-term color stability under 1 dE2000 in 5 minutes, so you can ship a print without a 24-hour color settle. Native PostScript 3 + PDF 1.7 + TIFF/JPEG/CALS G4/HP-GL/2/HP-RTL covers Adobe and CAD workflows without a third-party RIP. HP Secure Boot, whitelisting, and a 500 GB self-encrypting HDD cover compliance work. Buyers regret: paying for the Z9+ when their work is mostly CAD and maps (Z6 is the right answer for non-photo). Footprint is 50.9 in wide; weight 159-216 lb. Comes with printheads, intro 746/747 cartridges, stand, media bin, spindle. 3-in core adapter is not included on 24-in models — add CN538A if you need it.
