Hewlett Packard DesignJet 800 Inkjet Printer

This is an expensive large format printer tuned to provide clear, crisp images and true color printouts.  These printers are network ready, making them ideal for small workgroups.  The DesignJet 800 has a virtual computer inside which boosts productivity by working through much of the processing work.  This printer is used primarily by architects and engineers who need to print illustrations, precise line drawings and other high res- type images.  It prints in black at 7.7 square meters per second and offers 2400 X 1200 dpi resolution.  From our own experiences, we feel this is not really good for graphic markets and CAD.  It can create perfect line drawings and photos – but for this kind of money, you’d expect more.
