A colour upgrade kit C3178A was available to convert DesignJet 330s to 350s; it has been discontinued.

The DesignJet 330 and 350C replaced the 230 and 250C. These in turn replaced the 220.
The 330 and 350C were introduced in May 1996 and are now obsolete themselves. Recent printers are much faster and have higher resolution.

The mechanism of the 220, 230, 250C, 330 and 350C share many parts. The cartridges used in the:
250C are shared with the DesignJet 650C and
350C are shared with the DesignJet 750C.

Unfortunately most HP parts are no longer supplied.
