HP DesignJet 500 Series plotters are the perfect choice for graphics and technical professionals who want a smart, reasonably priced system for a personal office or small workgroup. The 24" HP DesignJet 500 plotter delivers clear, crisp images with rich true colors and uncompromising image quality. With Adobe PostScript support, your capabilities are vastly increased. Another important feature included on this model is the included printer stand, which adds convenience. Delivering uncompromising image quality means you get rich, brilliant colors from print to print, regardless of ink levels or prinhead usage. These plotters print at an amazing 85 square feet an hour rate and they also feature resolutions of up to 1200 dpi. Fewer supplies changes are needed, unattended printing is possible and low cost of ownership is achieved with the high-capacity HP cartridges and long-life HP printheads. Equipped with smart chips, the 500 can identify low ink levels and worn printheads. In addition, HP Zoomsmart scaling technology allows easy printing from any Microsoft Windows application.
