HP DesignJet T210 Large Format 24-inch Plotter Printer, with Modern Office Design (8AG32A), Black

I bought this as my printing needs were getting expensive. In our business, companies have turned to giving digital posters to print at your own leisure rather than shipping out promotional posters. Also, we commissioned prints quite regularly. Last year our local business printer left, leaving us with big box store printers only and my costs doubled. The price of this will pay for itself in about 6 months just from saving on printing. At first, I thought setup was going to be a problem. I use Mac products primarily and the firmware and software were fraught with errors. When I did get it to load by overriding the download, it didn't want to print anyway. Of course, I immediately just attempted to print from my own design software and had absolutely no issues. It does print at a default of draft upon first print which resulted in single passthrough lines about every one inch creating lines in the print and washed out colors. Once set to "FINE", the prints were actually pretty accurate and vibrant, as expected. I tested on cheap regular paper 20lb roll, as this was what I had. I also had a request to print some 11x17 flyers which had photos in it (also sized up from their 8.5x11 doc per request). (This was a test print. I noticed the flyer image is off center and needs to be corrected. Designer's error, not printer.) My 11x17 paper is 60lb stock. I was absolutely impressed that the pictures were distinguishable and all the faces were recognizable. Don't get me wrong. This is not a high res photo printer and it isn't intended to be. The color gamut isn't as well replicated, nor is the resolution as a photo printer and you won't get edge to edge printing. It's as if you are printing from a decent home inkjet. I don't do a lot of photo printing, only product posters intending to be temporary, so my quality isn't as demanding as some industries. Digital images created for the desired size look the best. All-in-all, I'm having a blast with this and look forward to many years with it. If anything changes my mind, I'll post an update.

Love it! Bought to do canvas prints..works beautifully! Not overly expensive, seems to have great ink capacity. Had to turn off automatic cutter for canvas material as it WILL NOT cut canvas , but everything else PERFECT!Used at Christmas to make nephews a extra large continuous coloring sheet.

I absolutely love this printer. I used it all day just with the app on my phone. I used to have to drive 15 miles to office max and print my larger images out for 18 bucks a pop and I've been doing this for year. Even though its a pricy purchase, i know in the long run I'll be saving so much money.It prints accurately and fast. The quality all depends on the quality of the image. My images, even the ones that were a bit more pixalated printed out beautifully.It's an easy set up. Just follow the directions on the screen and make sure your phone is charged.I'm not sure why others had issues with it because it works great. I literally printed out 8 huge portraits with perfect results. The negative comments made me a bit hesitant BUT I did spend weeks researching plotter machines. It's my first big purchase in a very long time only because I read too much into the negative comments but I'm so very glad I got this for myself.

This printer does great.. when it loads paper. Excellent, fast drawings and prints... efficient use of ink. However, the paper will rarely load in the first 7 tries. It sometimes will load right away... but most typically after a couple days of trying, which just DOES NOT work for business. It does jam sometimes because the paper cutoff won't fall off the end into the hopper or on the floor... and the next sheet hits and jams, requiring re-loading the roll of paper.. which again, is a mystery process. I've been on the phone with HP longer than the plotter is worth. Save yourself this trouble. This one is about to get tossed and I'll find something else. PS-- i've owned it about 8 months.
