The HP C7770B DesignJet 500 (42") Plotter delivers clear, crisp images with rich and uncompromising image quality. This plotter delivers Hewlett Packard quality which has been the reason that the 500 series has been the best selling plotter for several years. The versatile paper handling capabilities let you choose between roll and sheet-fed paper of many different types (such as inkjet paper, heavyweight paper, coated paper, Tyvek, film, and many more). The supplies are very easy to change and since the plotter is equipped with smart chips that identify low ink levels and worn printheads, it will give you ample time to change the consumables. Regardless of printhead usage or ink levels, you can expect brilliant colors and consistent output. HP's high capacity ink cartridges and long life printheads make it easy to conduct unattended printing while giving you a low total cost of ownership. In addition, HP Zoomsmart scaling technology allows easy printing from any Microsoft Windows application. The Hewlett Packard Designjet 500 is the perfect choice for graphics and technical professionals who want an all-purpose plotter that is smart, durable, and reasonably priced for their personal office or small to medium sized workgroup.
