HP Designjet T1700 116 / Hour Black Print Speed Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB Thermal Inkjet Large Format Color Printer

The HP DesignJet T1700 is a 44-inch thermal inkjet color printer for businesses and technical teams that need large-format drawings, plans, posters, or other wide-format prints, with Ethernet and USB connectivity.

Recommended For

• Architecture, engineering, and construction teams that regularly print full-size, color-coded plans and technical drawings for project reviews or job sites; HP positions the T1700 series for CAD workgroups and prints up to 44 inches wide.
• GIS teams and mapping departments that produce detailed, large-format maps from complex files and need printer security for work on an enterprise network; HP specifically positions the series for GIS workflows and describes its security and file-processing features.
• Office print rooms that need a shared, network-connected plotter for recurring large-format plan and map jobs, rather than a compact personal printer; HP describes the T1700 as a workgroup printer, and users report using the series for heavy seasonal batches as well as occasional large prints.
• Utilities, infrastructure, and urban-planning organizations that print technical documents or maps containing sensitive project information; HP identifies these sectors as intended users of the T1700 series’ enterprise security features.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• An architecture or engineering team prints full-size CAD plans for a project review; the large sheets make linework and drawing details easier to inspect together than on reduced office prints.
• A GIS team prints large color maps or orthophotos for planning and field discussions; the wide-format output keeps geographic detail and color-coded information visible at working size.
• A construction, utilities, or urban-planning workgroup prints project documents and maps in-house; the T1700 is positioned for these technical workflows, so teams can review large-format materials without sending every job to an outside print shop.
• A team prepares large presentation maps or display boards for a conference or trade show; users report using a T1700 for occasional event displays alongside their map-printing work.
• A technical office shares the printer over its wired network for large-format jobs; multiple staff can send drawings or maps from their workstations instead of relying on a single directly connected computer.
