HP Enhances Its Large-format Designjet Printer

By DE Editors

HP (Las Vegas, NV) announced the new HP Designjet 510 Printer series, HP’s most affordable stand-alone printer designed for small studios that print technical (including AEC, MCAD, GIS, and GPP) drawings in-house.

The HP Designjet 510 offers the same reliability and high quality as the HP Designjet 500, of which more than 500,000 have been sold, and offers enhanced functionality and ease-of-use.

The HP Designjet 510 Printer series includes HP-GL/2 in-printer processing technology — to be included in all stand-alone large-format printers in HP’s technical printing portfolio going forward — enables the HP Designjet 510 Printer series to process technical files up to four times faster than the previous model.

As part of a continuous effort to streamline large-format printing, the new HP Instant Printing Utility 1.0 lets users create, store, and reprint CAD projects conveniently without reconfiguring settings, thereby avoiding trial and error. The utility works with the nearly 2 million technical Designjet printers that HP has sold (over the last 25 years).

The HP Designjet 510 Printer series enables users to conveniently print D/A1-sized line drawings, plans,  schematics or maps on a variety of HP and other large-format printing materials let CAD users view their work and present or make changes in real time.

The HP Designjet 510 24-inch model ($2,095) and the 42-inch model ($3,195) are expected to be available this month.

For further details about the HP Designjet 510 Printer series and HP Instant Printing Utility, are available at HP.
