Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Oce Plotwave 500 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...

  • Pick this if you print 800-3,000 D-size drawings monthly and your current plotter is the bottleneck.
  • Pick this if you need 4-roll capacity so an operator can load Friday and not touch media until Tuesday.
  • Pick this if optional inline folding (FanFold or FullFold) ships sets straight to the field.
  • Pick this if you need integrated wide-format scanning for redline workflows and project archiving.
  • Pick this if energy and noise matter because the machine sits near desks instead of in a print room.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your volume is 500-800 D-size monthly with room to grow.
  • It's fine if you stick with the standard 2 rolls and add more later if needed.
  • It's fine if your scanning is occasional and you don't need a dedicated scanner station.
  • It's fine if your CAD output is line work where 600x1200 dpi is plenty.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need color printing; monochrome only.
  • Skip this if you print 3,500+ D-size monthly; step up to the PlotWave 5500 or 7500.
  • Skip this if you need duplex wide-format; single-sided only.
  • Skip this if you need archival-grade scanning resolution; the integrated scanner is workgroup quality.
  • Skip this if you're a small office printing under 200 D-size monthly; this is overkill.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Oce PlotWave 500 is the workhorse mid-volume monochrome plotter, running 10 D-size or 5 E-size pages per minute with a 16-19 second warm-up. LED electrophotography with Radiant Fusing keeps power use down and emissions low. Standard 2 rolls, expandable to 4, holding up to 7,800 square feet of media before reload, which is the kind of capacity that matters when an operator is feeding a job-site set on a Friday afternoon. Integrated Oce Scanner Express II handles wide-format originals at color or B&W. The ClearConnect multi-touch UI is the same family interface that runs across all PlotWaves. Cloud, USB, and mobile printing supported. Optional Top Delivery Tray, 2400 FanFold, and 4312 FullFold turn raw prints into ready-to-ship sets. Sweet spot is 800 to 3,000 D-size prints monthly. The one thing buyers regret is overlooking the wide-format scanning quality; if you're scanning archival drawings for digitization, this scanner is good but not specialty-grade. Quiet, runs at roughly half the energy of older laser plotters. Suitable for AEC firms, civil engineering shops, and reprographics teams that have outgrown a 4-6 ppm plotter.

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.

FAQ

Oce Plotwave 500, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (704) 741-0821 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Oce PlotWave 500 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically includes two 400g or 500g black toner bottles, designed for high-volume printing. Replacement toner options include the Oce 6696C001 Universal PlotWave Black Toner Cartridge (2 x 500g bottles) or the Oce Toner Kit (9625B001). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Oce PlotWave 500 is a monochrome LED electrophotography plotter designed for technical printing, with speeds of 10 D-size pages per minute and a focus on AEC firms and reprographics. In contrast, the Canon Arizona 1240 GT is a UV-curable inkjet flatbed printer for sign shops and industrial applications, capable of printing on rigid substrates up to 49.6 x 98.8 inches with CMYK ink configurations. The PlotWave 500 is ideal for high-volume black-and-white technical prints, while the Arizona 1240 GT excels in color graphics and direct-to-substrate printing. For small offices needing technical prints, the PlotWave 500 offers a more compact and cost-effective solution.
The Oce PlotWave 500 is well-suited for small businesses, particularly AEC firms and engineering shops, with its monthly volume capacity of 800 to 3,000 D-size prints and speeds of 10 D-size pages per minute. Its integrated scanner and expandable media capacity make it versatile for technical printing needs. However, if your business requires color printing or higher volumes, consider stepping up to a commercial option.
No, the Oce PlotWave 500 is a monochrome printer designed for black-and-white technical printing. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Canon ColorWave 500, HP DesignJet T830, or Epson SureColor T5170.
