HP DesignJet XL 3600: Dependable Wide Format Printing for Nevada Offices
Retire the aging plotter.
The XL 3600 prints every day without drama, at a cost you can plan around.
Built for Offices That Print Every Day, Not Just Fast Days
Many offices run an old KIP, Océ, Canon, or Ricoh plotter that’s on borrowed time. The XL 3600 is built for that exact swap. Architecture and engineering offices lean on it for daily technical printing. Contractors use it because it doesn’t miss a beat on a normal workweek.
This isn’t the machine for a shop chasing the fastest print speed on the market. It’s the machine for a shop that wants low running costs and a printer that just works, day after day.
Why Northern Nevada Offices Choose the XL 3600
Built to Handle the Daily Grind
The XL 3600 is engineered for constant, everyday use. No slowdowns, no random breakdowns like you get from a plotter past its prime.
Color Costs the Same as Black and White
Mono and color prints cost the same. Your team never has to think about which mode saves money. Over a year, that difference is real.
Fast Enough Not to Notice the Wait
First page out in as fast as 29 seconds. Jobs keep moving without the delay of older plotter tech.
Smaller Machine, Quieter Office
Up to 30% smaller than comparable machines, and noticeably quiet. Worth something when the printer sits ten feet from someone’s desk.
Security Without the IT Headache
HP Wolf Pro Security protects your network and print jobs out of the box. No extra setup required from your IT team.

Our old plotter was down more than it was up, and switching to the XL 3600 was the easiest call we made all year. It fit our budget, and it hasn’t given us a single problem since Nevada Blue installed it.
