1 Local printing requires mobile device and printer to be on the same network (usually Wi-Fi access points bridge wireless to wired connections). Wireless performance is dependent on physical environment and distance from access point. Wireless operations are compatible with 2.4 GHz operations only. Remote printing requires an Internet connection to an HP web-connected printer. Wireless broadband use requires separately purchased service contract for mobile devices. Check with service provider for coverage and availability in your area. See http://www.hp.com/go/designjetmobility for more details. 2 As of June, 2017 there are over 150,000 HP DesignJet T520 610 mm and 914 mm (24- and 36-inch) printers installed worldwide.

A very popular wireless choice currently. Inks are very small capacity so it's recommended that you purchase an extra set for stock. This printer does not offer borderless printing. Useful cassette for A4 and A3 sheet feed. If you are sending large files, producing layered PDFs or you are wising to connect with a scanner now or in the future, we recommend HP's DesignJet T790PS as the base level.
