Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1700 44-in 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 an architect, engineer, GIS analyst, or AEC firm printing technical drawings, maps, and renderings at 24x36 to 44-in width.
  • You print 100-800 sq m/month — the T1700 is the CAD/GIS workhorse below the production-class Z6.
  • You need a 6-ink pigment chassis (CMYK + chromatic red + gray) for accurate technical color, lines, and renderings.
  • You want native PostScript and PDF 1.7 (the T1700 PostScript variant) so AutoCAD, Revit, and Adobe files print straight.
  • You need HP Secure Boot, whitelisting, and an encrypted HDD for AEC and government compliance.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print occasional photo posters — it works, but Z9+ is the photo answer.
  • You print mostly mono CAD — it works on the 6-ink chassis but you're not using all the inks; T630/T650 is more economical.
  • You don't need dual rolls — single-roll is fine; if you do, go T1700dr (W6B56A).
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 1,500 sq m/month — step up to a Z6 production chassis with faster mode and bigger duty cycle.
  • You need a vertical trimmer — not on the T1700; only the Z6dr/Z9+dr have inline V-trimmers.
  • You print fine-art photo gallery work — wrong chassis; Z9+ has the 9-ink chromatic gamut.
  • You need a built-in scanner — separate HP HD Pro 2 42-in or SD Pro 2 44-in scanner accessory.
  • You print under 30 sq m/month — the T1700 is overspec'd; T230/T250/T630 desktop covers low-volume CAD.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer (W6B55A) is HP's 44-inch CAD/GIS workhorse — sits below the production-class Z6 and above the T-series desktop plotters. Six pigment inks (CMYK + chromatic red + gray), 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi, A1 plain output as fast as 21 seconds (mechanical), and a 500 GB self-encrypting HDD for AEC and government compliance. Native HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL print AutoCAD/Revit drawings without translation overhead; the T1700 PostScript trim adds Adobe PostScript 3 and PDF 1.7 for design workflows out of Adobe Illustrator and Bluebeam. HP Secure Boot and whitelisting are why most municipal and federal AEC contracts spec the T1700 instead of the older T-series. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles roll-loading, ICC profiles, and basic queue management on the bezel. Buyers regret: assuming the T1700 includes dual rolls (it doesn't — the dr variant is W6B56A) and underestimating the 70.9-in footprint. Comes with printheads, intro HP 746 cartridges, stand, media bin, spindle, and 3-in core adapter. 1-year limited warranty; add a Care Pack at PO time for next-business-day on-site.
