HP DesignJet T850 36-Inch Large Format Plotter Printer

The HP DesignJet T850 is a 36-inch large format printer that prints, copies and scans in one compact unit. It handles everything from A4 to A0 without you switching media by hand. Its integrated input tray takes A4 and A3 sheets, and roll feed covers your larger jobs.

Output is fast: 25 seconds per A1 page, up to 90 A1 prints per hour. Print quality reaches 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi, which keeps fine lines, maps and renderings sharp. For teams that print drawings, posters and presentations every day, this hp plotter cuts waiting time and manual handling.

The T850 also suits shared offices. It has Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB printing and HP Click for sending mixed-size jobs in one step.

Key Features

• Multi-size printing from A4 to A0: the integrated input tray holds up to 50 sheets, and roll and manual feed handle larger sizes. You can print mixed-size jobs without constantly changing media.

• Fast output: 25 seconds per A1 page and up to 90 A1 prints per hour. Urgent drawing sets and posters come out sooner.

• High print quality: up to 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi with HP Thermal Inkjet technology, a 0.02 mm minimum line width through the raster driver and ±0.1% line accuracy. Technical drawings and maps stay crisp and precise.

• Pigment-based inks in four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, matte black): produce rich, durable output for documents, line drawings and posters.

• 300 ml cartridges: larger ink volume means fewer cartridge changes and fewer interruptions during long print runs.

• Built-in scanner and copier: scan up to 914 mm wide at up to 600 dpi, and copy at 25 to 400% scaling. You can digitize or duplicate large documents without a separate machine.

• One-click shortcuts and HP Click: print multi-size files in one click and set up personalized scan and copy shortcuts, which saves time on routine tasks.

• Flexible connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, USB pen drive printing, remote printing and Apple AirPrint. Print from a PC, phone or tablet, in the office or remotely.

• Security features: HP Secure Boot, allowlisting, security event logging, SNMPv3, 802.1x compatibility, TLS/SSL and FIPS 140-2 (in transit). This protects your network and sensitive project files.

• Compact, energy-aware design: it uses 35 W while printing and under 0.1 W when off, with auto-scheduled on/off. The hardware also contains 37% post-consumer recycled plastic by weight of plastic.

Why Choose the HP DesignJet T850 36-Inch Large Format Printer

If your team prints in different sizes every day, the T850 removes much of the manual work. You load an A3 sheet or a roll and keep printing, without stopping to change setups. The integrated input tray, automatic horizontal cutter and media bin keep output organized.

You also get three functions in one machine. Printing, copying and scanning large documents on a single device saves space and reduces the number of tools to maintain. For buyers who search for a dependable hp plotter, this model offers fast output, wide media support and professional print quality.

It also fits a modern office. Wi-Fi, Ethernet and mobile printing mean anyone on the team can send jobs easily, and quiet operation (42 dB(A) pressure while printing) makes it comfortable in shared workspaces.
