Product overview
 
Ultimate line and photo quality
•  Ultimate photo quality is achieved using HP color layering and up to 1200 dpi resolution. 1 Ultimate line quality, with lines as thin as 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) and an accuracy of +/- 0.2%, is the result of minuscule drops and continuous ink flow. Many more colors are available per printed dot as the printer layers different color ink drops over each other to create new colors. 

Low cost of operation
•  The HP Designjet 500 Plus is an exceptionally priced printer and has incredibly low cost-per-copy of ink and media. 

Fast and efficient printing with no hassle
•  The printer is ideal for small workgroups (1 to 3 people) and has print times as short as 90 seconds for D-size (A1-size) drawings. Drivers are easy to install and intuitive to use, an ink-set change takes less than 1 minute, the control panel is simple to navigate, and media loading is smooth and straightforward. 

Great media flexibility
•  A wide choice of HP Premium Printing Material is available, including HP Coated Paper, HP Heavyweight Coated Paper, HP High-Gloss Photo Paper, HP Satin Poster Paper, HP Studio Canvas, HP Bright White Inkjet Paper, HP Translucent Bond, HP Natural Tracing Paper, HP Vellum, HP Clear Film and HP Matte Film. 

Unattended printing
•  The printer can work unattended with its off-axis, 69-cc ink cartridges, long-life printheads, 150-ft (45-m) media rolls, automatic cutting, and stacking of finished prints in the media bin [optional on the 24-inch (61-cm) model]. The ink cartridges have almost double the ink capacity of previous HP ink cartridges in this category, and printheads last through five to six ink-cartridge changes on average, depending upon usage. 

Smooth connectivity
•  Drivers for Windows® applications come in the box and include support of AutoCAD. The printer comes with an HP-GL/2 processor. The printer has USB and parallel ports, and 32 MB of RAM, which is expandable up to 160 MB. It also has a powerful HP JetDirect EIO 10/100 BaseTX print server.
