Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T1600 36-inch 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 need a secure 36-inch plotter for AEC, GIS, or MCAD output.
  • You print at high D-print rates and want an integrated 100-page stacker.
  • You want automatic duplex on wide-format plots.
  • You print around 300 wide-format pages per month.
  • You connect over USB, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet.
  • You print across bond, photo, and glossy media.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print large-format occasionally and don't need top production speed.
  • You print mostly A3/Tabloid but rarely use the full 36-inch width.
  • You don't need scan or copy on this device.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need a compact printer; this is a 36-inch wide-format machine.
  • You only print letter-sized documents.
  • You need built-in scan or copy.
  • You're shopping on a budget for an entry plotter.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T1600 36-inch is a single-function wide-format plotter for AEC, GIS, and MCAD professionals who need fast technical output with enterprise-class security. It hits speeds up to 180 D-prints per hour, includes an integrated 100-page output stacker so plots stack neatly instead of curling on the floor, and supports automatic duplex on wide-format. Color and black both run around 3 ppm at full plot. Comfortable monthly volume is around 300 prints. Connectivity covers USB, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet. Media support spans bond, photo, glossy, and the standard A4 to A0 range. The honest regret to know: this is single-function (no scan/copy); if you also digitize as-builts, look at the T2600 MFP instead. For a busy AEC office that needs secure, fast, organized plotting and doesn't need scanning on the same box, the T1600 nails it.

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 large format CAD prints at my architecture firm for about 8 months now. The 36-inch width saves us a ton of time compared to our old 24-inch setup, and the print quality on technical drawings is sharp. Setup was straightforward and the software integration with our existing workflow didn't require much troubleshooting."
  • "Using this for my small graphic design business printing proofs and mockups. The color accuracy is solid and it handles different media types well. My only complaint is the footprint is bigger than I expected, so space planning matters if you're in a tight studio."
  • "Had this in our print department for just over a year and it's been dependable. Running it through heavy usage cycles with various substrates and haven't had major issues. The maintenance alerts are helpful and cartridge replacement is straightforward enough."

Replacement high-yield HP 730/730B 300-ml ink cartridges are available in Matte Black, Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Gray. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

In contrast, the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E78625dn is a floor-standing A3 color laser MFP with print/copy speeds of 25 ppm, scanning at 90 ppm, and a monthly duty cycle of up to 110,000 pages. The DesignJet is ideal for large-format plotting, while the E78625dn is suited for high-volume office environments needing multifunction capabilities.
