HP Designjet T1500 Printer.
The HP Designjet T1500 is a 36 inch printer/plotter with a 6-ink system and roll feed for up to 36" plots . Launched in 2013 it is aimed at medium sized photographic operations and larger work teams
The T1500 is similar to the T920 - indeed the user manual is the same. Differences are:
- The T1500 has two rolls with automatic switching, enabling long runs of unattended printing.
- The T1500 has high-productivity features such as job previewing and nesting using the printer's Embedded Web Server
HP say the US street-price for the base model T1500 is $7,495. In January 2014 we are seeing an actual UK street price for the base model of about £5000

Duty Cycle:
We haven't come across any specific recommendations from HP on usage expectations. Obviously a printer with 130ml cartridges will be more economical to run compared with the smaller machines in HP's Designjet lineup. We would say this printer is intended for medium sized photograpic operations and demanding workgroups
