Pick this if...
- You're an AEC firm, GIS shop, or contractor printing 50-300 D-size plots a month and need scan/copy on the same device.
- You need to scan 36-in-wide as-built drawings or red-lines back to the office without driving them to a service bureau.
- You want a small-footprint plotter that fits in a 6-foot wide spot — at 55 inches wide, the 36-in model is the most compact MFP plotter HP makes.
- You need 2400 x 1200 dpi line accuracy of 0.1% for technical drawings, plans, and maps.
- You print mostly black-and-white CAD with the occasional color rendering — 4 dye-based cartridges (CMYK) cover both well enough.
