HP Original Inks

HP Designjet T790 Printer.

The HP Designjet T790 is a 24 inch printer/plotter with a 6-ink system, up to 24-inch roll feed and sheet feed. Launched in 2012 it is aimed at engineering and design professionals working individually and in small teams.

HP say the US street-price for the T790ps is $3,600. In January 2014 we are seeing an actual UK street price for the Postscript model of about £2000.

The T790 is similar to the T1300 44 inch machine - indeed the user manual is the same. Differences are:

The T790 is just 24 inches wide whilst the T1300 is 44 inches wide.
The T790 supports Fast Ethernet, where the T1300 supports Gigabit Ethernet
The T1300 shows job previews in the front panel
The T1300 - two paper rolls loaded at once provide fast and easy switching between different rolls, or long runs of unattended printing
The T1300 has high productivity features such as job previewing and nesting using the HP Utility or the printer's Embedded Web Server

HP say the US street-price for the T790 PostScript model is $3,600. In January 2014 we are seeing an actual UK street price for the base (non Postscript) model of about £1600 and for the T790ps of just over £2000.

HP are very much pushing Web connection - it allows them to offer value added "cloud" services.

Security Features:

Note: HP say : "When you have set up Web Services, the printer is in unlock mode. In unlock mode, anyone who knows your printer's email address can print to your printer by just sending a file to it. Although HP provides a spam filtering service, you should be careful about giving out your printer's email address, as everything sent to that address may be printed on your printer."

Duty Cycle:

We haven't come across any specific recommendations from HP on usage expectations. This printer has 69ml cartridges and will be more economical to run compared with the smaller machines in HP's Designjet lineup. We would say this printer is intended for the smaller photographic operations.

Print Speed:

Line drawings: 28 sec/page on A1/D,103 A1/D prints per hour

Options are: Best and Fast.

If you select Fast, you can also select Economode, which uses a lower rendering resolution and consumes less ink. It therefore increases printing speed even further, but reduces print quality.
