Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet SD Pro 44-in MFP 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 AEC firm, repro shop, or GIS team that needs to scan, copy, and print 44-in-wide drawings, maps, and red-lines from one workstation.
  • You scan 6+ wide-format originals a day — the SD Pro 2 scans color at 9 in/sec and grayscale at 18 in/sec, batch-scan straight to PDF, TIFF, or DWF.
  • You print on 6-color ink (cyan, magenta, yellow, grey, photo black, matte black) for technical drawings AND high-quality renderings/maps.
  • You need PostScript 3 native — handles complex GIS and CAD PDFs without a separate RIP.
  • You need full security: HP Secure Boot, whitelisting, 500 GB self-encrypting hard disk for the printer plus 256 GB SSD for the scanner.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 50-200 D-size plots a day — the dual-roll 44-in T1700dr is built for it; you'll burn 130-ml cartridges fast and want to upgrade to 300-ml.
  • You scan a few originals a week — the scanner is overbuilt for that, but the workflow is the same as high volume.
  • You're moving from a separate plotter and a flatbed wide-format scanner — operator workflow consolidates well, just plan for footprint (printer + scanner stand each separate).
  • You need to scan thick originals — straight-through paper path handles foam board, plastic laminate, cardboard up to spec.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 20 D-size plots a day — you're paying for a 6-ink production printer + production scanner. Get a DesignJet T830 36-in MFP instead.
  • You only need scan, no print — buy the SD Pro 2 (G6H50B) standalone scanner; you don't need the bundled printer.
  • You don't have floor space — the printer is 71 x 27 x 39 in, the scanner is another 60 x 37 x 65 in; combined the MFP needs 11+ feet of room.
  • You don't have 110V dedicated 20A circuits available for the production-grade scanner (5A max draw).
  • You don't want to deal with HP dynamic security — HP 730 cartridges are HP-chip-locked and firmware can disable non-HP cartridges over time.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet SD Pro 44-in MFP (1GY94E) is a bundle SKU pairing the HP DesignJet T1700dr 44-in PostScript dual-roll printer with the HP SD Pro 2 44-in scanner — sold as a single MFP solution for AEC firms, repro shops, and GIS teams that scan, copy, and print 44-inch-wide drawings and maps from one workstation. The printer prints 116 D/hr (26 sec per D-size), 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi, with a 6-color ink system (cyan, magenta, yellow, grey, photo black, matte black) for both technical and graphic work. Two 44-in rolls auto-switch with a horizontal cutter. The SD Pro 2 scanner reads up to 1200 dpi optical, scans color at 9 in/sec and grayscale at 18 in/sec, and supports a straight-through path for thick originals (foam board, plastic laminate, cardboard). Scan formats include PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000, DWF with multipage PDF generation. Scan destinations: file, email, USB, internal HDD, network folder, FTP, direct print. The printer ships with 128 GB processing memory and a 500 GB self-encrypting HDD; scanner has 8 GB DDR4 and a 256 GB SSD. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 3.1 Gen 1 host. The thing buyers regret: not budgeting for both 130-ml cartridge swaps in the early months — heavy color jobs drain them fast; consider 300-ml HP 730 cartridges for sustained volume. The other gripe: footprint. The printer and scanner are separate units, each on its own stand, needing roughly 11 feet of total floor width. For a real wide-format MFP environment this is the right tool. For light scan-and-print, get a T830 instead.

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:

  • ★ "Been using this for our architecture firm for about a year now. The 44-inch width handles our large format plans without needing to tile, and the scan function saves us time on client revisions. Color accuracy is solid for proofs."
  • ★ "Good machine overall, especially the multifunction capability. Setup took longer than I expected and the drivers can be finicky on Windows updates, but once it's running it's reliable. Paper handling is smooth."
  • ★ "Upgraded from our old plotter and this thing is night and day better. The scan quality is crisp, print speeds are reasonable for the size, and HP support actually answered when I called. Worth the investment for a design shop."
