HP DesignJet T1600: A Right-Sized Plotter for Nevada Firms
Print PDFs straight from your CAD or GIS software, no extra steps. Built for teams that need precision more than raw speed.
Sized Right for Smaller Nevada Firms
The T1600 fits offices that don’t need a production-floor machine but still need real precision.
Small architecture practices in Reno. One- or two-person engineering consultancies in Carson City. GIS and survey teams who print maps and drawings, not banners.
It’s built for configuration, not compromise. Single roll or dual roll. PostScript or non-PostScript, depending on how your team handles PDFs. You pay for what you actually use.
Why the T1600 Works for Small Nevada Offices
PDFs Print the Way They Should
HP Click software and a built-in Adobe PDF Print Engine handle PDF files cleanly. No wrestling with file formats before a job goes out.
Speed Without the Premium
Up to 180 A1 prints per hour, as fast as 19.3 seconds per A1. Fast enough for a busy small office, without paying for a machine built for a production floor.
Quiet Enough for a Shared Space
Up to 87% less noise than comparable machines, with a footprint that fits a smaller office. It won’t dominate the room the way older plotters do.
Security IT Teams Actually Trust
HP Secure Boot, network whitelisting, and secure authentication. Real control over who touches the printer and what’s on it.
Configured for Your Workflow
Single or dual roll. PostScript or non-PostScript. Choose based on how your team works, not what’s on the shelf.

Trusted by Small Nevada Firms
We picked the PostScript T1600 so we could send PDFs straight to print without an extra conversion step, and went with dual roll so we’re not swapping media every time a drawing size changes. It came in right at our budget, and the Nevada Blue rep walked us through every configuration choice before we signed off.

Not Sure Which DesignJet Fits Your Team?
The T1600 and the HP DesignJet T2600 share the same print engine, speed, and security features. The difference is what’s built into the device. The T1600 is a dedicated printer, a good fit if you already have a separate scanning workflow. Want print, copy, and scan in one machine? See our full HP DesignJet T2600 guide.
