Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T850 36-in MFP 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 a small A/E/C studio that scans, copies, and prints 36-inch large-format work in one footprint and one chassis.
  • You print 50-500 large pages a month and scan 50-300 large originals a month at up to 11.43 cm/sec (grayscale, 200 dpi) or 3.81 cm/sec (color, 200 dpi).
  • You need scan-to-email, scan-to-network folder, scan-to-USB, and copy with 25-400% reduce/enlarge in 1% steps.
  • You want a single chassis (printer + sheetfed CIS scanner integrated above) instead of a printer-plus-separate-scanner like the HD Pro 2 MFP.
  • You need Wi-Fi standard — 802.11 b/g/n built in, plus Wi-Fi Direct and AirPrint.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You scan less than 30 large originals a month — capacity is overbuilt; you might prefer the printer-only T850 plus a smaller scanner.
  • You print 600-1,000 pages a month — the T850 MFP handles it but the T950 MFP is the higher-volume option.
  • You're upgrading from a T520 or older T-series MFP — refreshed firmware, sheetfed CIS scanner, scan-to-cloud via HP app.
  • You scan thin or fragile originals — the sheetfed CIS path handles up to 0.3 mm thick; for blueprints over that, you need the HD Pro 2 scanner (15 mm thickness).
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You scan blueprints, foam-core, or thick originals — sheetfed CIS scanner tops out at 0.3 mm; HD Pro 2 MFP handles 15 mm.
  • You need 44-in or 64-in width — T850 MFP is 36-in only.
  • You need PostScript — T850 MFP is not a PS device; T1600 PS is the option (printer-only) at 36-in.
  • You print more than 1,000 pages a month — T950 MFP is the higher-volume scan-and-print MFP.
  • You don't have desk space for the MFP plus stand — chassis is 55.4 x 27.6 x 38.1 in and 132 lb.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T850 36-in MFP integrates the T850 plotter with a sheetfed CIS scanner mounted above the print engine — built for small A/E/C studios that need to walk up, scan a drawing, copy a redline, and print a plot from one chassis. Print speed is up to 90 A1 pages per hour at 25 sec/page at 2400 x 1200 dpi (4 pigment inks). Scan speed is up to 11.43 cm/sec in grayscale at 200 dpi or 3.81 cm/sec in color at 200 dpi, with a maximum scan width of 36 in (914 mm) and length up to 7 m. Scan formats are JPEG, PDF, and TIFF; destinations include email, network folder, USB, and cloud (via HP Smart). Copy supports 25-400% reduce/enlarge in 1% steps. Paper handling is a 50-sheet input tray plus sheet feed and roll feed (11 to 36 in) with an automatic horizontal cutter. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi standard, with Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, HP Smart, and HP Click. Security is HP Secure Boot, allowlisting, security event logging, SNMPv3, 802.1X, and FIPS 140-2 (in transit). The thing buyers regret: the sheetfed scanner caps at 0.3 mm thickness. If you scan stacks of fragile blueprints, mounted boards, or thick originals, you need the HD Pro 2 MFP — which handles 15 mm.

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 1 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Good machine overall, but the initial setup was more involved than I expected and the ink costs add up quick if you're doing heavy volume. That said, it handles the 36-inch media smoothly and color reproduction is consistent."
