Streamlined HP Professional Printing For CAD Professionals

The built environment is slowly starting up again and has good reason to raise its hopes, thanks to the government’s recent announcement of 276 major infrastructure projects. However, operations are not likely to return entirely to previous standards of normality. Everyone in the industry needs to find new ways to produce excellent outcomes while working smarter and reducing costs. That's why the DesignJet HP range of printing solutions is the perfect answer for architects and professional printing needs.

Architects, engineers, designers and CAD professionals will feel the effect as much as everyone else in the industry. As a result of cost-cutting measures and COVID-19 health and safety precautions, many will be working in downsized offices or from home. Under these constraints, they will need to continue producing large, detailed print outputs, such as blueprints and plans, to strict standards. Unfortunately, these can result in unacceptably high print costs.

Perfect For Remote Working

Instead of outsourcing your print needs or buying an expensive large-format printer, you can produce high-quality prints economically. Whether you are a start-up, working for a company in the built environment, or studying towards a qualification, HP’s range of printers for architects, engineers, designers and CAD professionals are specifically designed to print the fine lines, details and texts that your clients require. These printers are also compact and cost-effective, ensuring you have an ergonomic solution that doesn’t take up too much space in your home office.

There are many plotter printers on the market today that offer excellent quality and fine detail. Epson’s SureColor range, for example, especially the T5270 model, is known for its speed and versatility across a variety of sizes and formats. OKI offers a number of high-level CAD solutions, such as their LP-1040-MF and LP-2060-MF models. However, few of the printers in this particular niche have been able to complement their performance with the required combination of affordability and reduced footprint. HP is able to offer this essential balance with a comprehensive range of solutions: our DesignJet T100, T500 and T800 series.

Designed To Fit Your Budget

HP professional printing is affordable. These three plotters, while varying in size and specifications, were all designed to reduce the overall cost of computer-assisted design (CAD) printing. These are the most affordable plotters in their respective ranges, designed to provide consistent value for money. You can bring your printing in-house and thus remove the costs – in both time and money – of outsourcing, without sacrificing quality.

Designed To Fit Your Office

Like time and money, space is a valuable resource, especially for start-up companies and students. For this reason, HP has built the world’s smallest plotters. These are printers that offer quality to rival and exceed any other plotters on the market while fitting comfortably into even the most constrained working areas. The T125 and T525, for example, while both sized to produce A1 prints or larger (the T525 also comes in an A0 model), have incredibly compact footprints. This enables you to place them neatly and conveniently in a small area of your office.

The T125 (an A1 printer), T525 (available in A1 and A0 models) and T830 (an A0-capacity multi-function printer in 24-inch and 36-inch sizes) are also equipped with WiFi connectivity. You can connect and print immediately and wirelessly, without having to worry about cabling and other connectivity issues. This is large-format printing at its most compact and most convenient.

Designed To Make Printing Easy

There is absolutely no reason for printing to be complicated – even in the case of highly detailed graphics. Aside from instant connection via Wi-Fi, all three of these printers are enabled for faster, easier printing with the HP Click software, which enables you to print the most common formats, such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF and DWF, in just a single click, optimising media usage and lowering costs. You can also print from your phone or tablet, at any time, from wherever you are, using the HP Smart app, which also enables you to save and access files simply and quickly in cloud folders.

Designed For Productivity

HP understands that you always need to meet client expectations, in terms of both quality and deadlines. The T125, T525 and T830 are all built to offer you an ideal pairing of quality and speed. You can print high-quality A1 size documents at incredibly high speeds – as fast as 27 seconds per document. The finished prints give you perfectly matched colour in both small and large formats (all models include built-in A3/A4 trays), and precise details with up to 2400dpi and original HP/GL-2 capability.
