Large-format thermal inkjet printer
The HP Designjet T1600 is a thermal inkjet printer built for large-format colour output. It handles media from A4 through A0 and prints up to 180 A1 pages per hour at 2400 x 1200 dpi black quality. A single universal printhead manages all colours on media up to .5 mm thick.
Network and space prerequisites
The unit connects through a single Ethernet 10 / 100 / 1000BaseTX RJ45 port and requires a 100 - 240V, 50 / 60Hz supply. At 54.72" x 29.92" x 42.52" and 180.78 lbs it needs a stable floor area and clearance for roll loading. Power draw is 100 W while printing and under 36 W in ready mode.
Replaces slower wide-format devices
This model supersedes older wide-format printers that cannot reach 19.3 sec per A1 or lack native PostScript 3 and PDF 1.7 support. The jump is worthwhile when workflows demand faster throughput on A1 / A0 sheets and direct network submission without an external RIP.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the T1600 and do I need to buy ink cartridges separately?
The box contains the printer, one universal printhead, setup guide and power cord; starter ink cartridges are included so you can print immediately.
Should I choose the PostScript or non-PostScript version for CAD and PDF workflows?
The PostScript model adds Adobe PostScript 3 and Adobe PDF 1.7 support, which is useful if you send native PDF or PostScript files directly from design software.
What does the 180 A1 per hour speed mean for everyday printing?
In practice you can expect roughly 19.3 seconds for each A1 sheet, so a batch of ten A1 drawings finishes in about three minutes.
