Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Oce Plotwave 5500 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 2,000-6,000 D-size drawings monthly across multiple project teams.
  • Pick this if your IT or security team requires LDAP/Active Directory authentication on the plotter.
  • Pick this if you need to keep 6+ media types loaded simultaneously without operator intervention.
  • Pick this if integrated color scanning at production speeds is part of your daily workflow.
  • Pick this if optional McAfee antivirus integration is a procurement requirement.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your volume is 1,500-2,000 D-size monthly and you want significant headroom.
  • It's fine if you start with 4 rolls and expand later.
  • It's fine if you don't need McAfee integration but want LDAP for user accounting.
  • It's fine if your operators handle the IT integration with help from corporate IT.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need color printing; monochrome only.
  • Skip this if your volume is under 1,000 D-size monthly; the PlotWave 500 fits better.
  • Skip this if your IT team can't dedicate time to enterprise auth setup; the value of this machine depends on it.
  • Skip this if you need duplex wide-format; single-sided only.
  • Skip this if your floor can't accommodate a 516-lb device.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Oce PlotWave 5500 is the heavy mid-line monochrome production plotter, running 10 D-size or 5 E-size pages per minute at 600x1200 dpi via LED electrophotography with Radiant Fusing. Media capacity is up to 24 rolls with auto-switching and size detection (yes, 24, configured with the right base; 4 to 6 is more typical), supporting plain, recycled, engineering bond, vellum, polyester film, and transparent media. Integrated Color Contact Image Sensor scanner runs at 15.2 m/min B&W and 5.0 m/min color with Oce ImageLogic. This is the one with real enterprise security: encrypted storage, LDAP and Active Directory authentication, optional McAfee antivirus integration. Sweet spot is 2,000 to 6,000 D-size prints monthly. The one thing buyers regret is underestimating the integration work; this is a real production device with enterprise auth that needs your IT team to configure properly, not a plug-and-play purchase. Footprint is 58.9 wide by 31.7 deep by 58.9 tall, weighing 516 lbs. Quiet for a production machine. Suitable for large AEC firms, government print rooms, university planning offices, and high-volume reprographics shops.

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 5500, 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 5500 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner kit typically includes two 500-gram bottles of black toner, designed for high-volume production environments. For replacements, you can use the Canon 6816C001 PlotWave 5000/5500 Black Standard Yield Toner Kit, which also includes two 500-gram bottles and a waste toner container. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Oce Plotwave 5500 is a monochrome LED electrophotography plotter designed for high-volume D-size and E-size prints, ideal for AEC firms and reprographics shops. In contrast, the Canon Arizona 1240 GT is a flatbed UV-curable inkjet printer for sign shops and industrial applications, capable of printing on rigid substrates up to 49.6 x 98.8 inches. The Plotwave 5500 excels in monochrome technical documents, while the Arizona 1240 GT offers full-color, near-photographic quality on materials like wood, glass, and acrylic. For small offices needing high-volume monochrome prints, the Plotwave 5500 is the better fit.
The Oce Plotwave 5500 is designed for high-volume production environments, with a monthly page volume of 2,000 to 6,000 D-size prints. Its enterprise-level features, such as encrypted storage and Active Directory authentication, may be excessive for a small business. Additionally, its large footprint and complex setup require IT support.
No, the Oce Plotwave 5500 is a monochrome-only printer. For color printing, consider alternatives like the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100, HP DesignJet T830, or Epson SureColor T5170, which offer high-quality color output for technical and graphic applications.
