HP DesignJet 70

Cost effective large format colour printer for sizes up to A2+ - 18 inch. A relatively low cost device for architects, engineers and designers with additional uses for printing office charts, diagrams, spreadsheets and marketing material. Four long-life thermal inkjet printheads with 304 nozzles. Low costs and reliability with ink cartridges that can be individually replaced. Black pigmented HP ink provides lasting results for archiving CAD plots and architectural plans. Colours are dye-based ink. Intelligent print preview feature shows actual layout positioning ensuring you get accurate results. Enhanced drivers offer support for AutoCADTM files.

The DesignJet 70 is related to the Designjet 90, its an older version of that machine. It has similar capabilities to the 24 inch Designjet 100 . and 30, 130. The designjet 70 is an older design but remains adequate for engineering and architectural diagrams in small offices. The DesignJet 90 has the same A2+ print area but uses a 6 colour CcMmYK process for better photographic and pre-press handling.
