Why businesses choose it

This is the machine for a business that needs real wide format on site without giving up floor space or budget. Architectural drawings, site plans, permit sets, shop posters and signage all come off a 36 inch roll at full accuracy, and the auto sheet feeder handles letter and tabloid pages without touching the roll.

It speaks the languages CAD workflows expect, HP-GL/2 and HP RTL, so it drops into AutoCAD and Revit environments without fuss. UltraChrome XD2 pigment ink holds fine lines crisp and resists fading, which matters when a drawing lives on a job site wall for months.

It is a strong fit for an office that plots through the week: architects, builders, engineers and shops that need accurate drawings and posters on demand, sized and priced for exactly that duty as the specifications note. If your team needs faster output and larger cartridges for daily production, the SureColor T5475 is the step up, and we will help you match the machine to your real volume. One planning note: busy offices do well to keep an extra ink set on the shelf so the printing never has to wait.

Configure it to the work

The print shop, in house
D size sets print down the hall instead of across town, so proofs and permit sets stop costing a drive and a per sheet fee.

One machine, many stocks
Bond, matte, glossy and technical media run straight off the roll, so the same machine covers daily drawings and the presentation prints you hand to clients.
We deliver it, set it up and leave it printing, so day one is a working day.
