Questions about the HP DesignJet T870 24in
The T870 is faster, about 21 seconds per A1 against 26, and its HP Flex Tech pigment inks resist water, smudging and highlighter bleed, which suits drawings taken to site. The T650 24in costs less, and its dye-based colour inks are fine for office prints. Both print up to A1 and handle A4 and A3 sheets.
No. It takes rolls from 369 to 610 mm (24 inches) wide, so A1 is its largest standard size. For A0 drawings choose the 36-inch T850 or T950, which use the same HP 738 inks and HP 739 printhead, so supplies are shared if you run both.
HP 738 ink cartridges and the HP 739 printhead, the same supplies as the T850 and T950. All four inks are HP Flex Tech pigment inks, and each colour is replaced on its own. DPI keeps both the ink and the printhead in stock.
