What you should know
Key takeaways
- The HP Designjet 110plus nr is suited to intermittent 24-inch technical plotting and short mixed-media work.
- HP rates draft A1 color line drawings at up to 1.5 min/page, which favors small runs over set production.
- One roll, one tray, and 50-sheet output capacity limit unattended bid-set work.
- Its rear paper path supports media up to 300 g/m2 for occasional heavier presentation sheets.
- The HP DesignJet T918 36-in is the listed in-family step-up when wider output and scan/copy capability matter.
At 4:45 p.m., this is the printer for the architect who needs a last D-size detail sheet, a color-marked coordination plan, or a short run of presentation graphics without walking across the office. The HP Designjet 110plus nr is a compact technical printer with a 24-inch roll-feed capability, a 150-sheet input tray, manual sheet paths, Ethernet, and USB.
It fits an older small-office AEC workflow better than a production print room. HP rates a draft A1 color line drawing at up to 1.5 min/page. That is workable for a few sheets. It is not how anyone wants to build a permit set after lunch. Its 0.001-inch minimum line width and +/- 0.2% line accuracy matter for CAD drawings where a fine grid, utility callout, or structural note still has to read at arm’s length.
Where it earns its floor space
The paper paths are the useful part of this design. The automatic tray holds 150 sheets up to A2+, while manual feeding accepts larger sheets up to 25 x 64 inches. The rear path takes media up to 300 g/m2, which gives an in-house team a route for heavier presentation material without turning the ordinary tray into a science project. Roll media feeds through the rear path and has an automatic cutter.
For architects, engineers, surveyors, and construction teams, that means ordinary bond plans, a one-off D+ exhibit, a translucent technical sheet, or a short color map can stay in the office. Pigment-based black and dye-based color inks suit mixed technical and graphic output. Networked submission is possible through Ethernet, with USB available for direct connection. The control panel is deliberately simple: status lights, three keys, and information icons. There is not much to negotiate when a job needs attention.
Bottom line: It is most at home with intermittent, mixed-media technical printing rather than repetitive set production.
The limits show up when the set gets large
One roll, one input tray, and a 50-sheet output capacity put a clear boundary around unattended work. There is no duplex option. A crew printing several plan sets will be loading paper, collecting output, and watching the queue more than they should. The 64 MB of internal memory also belongs to an earlier workstation era, alongside listed support for Windows XP and older Mac operating systems. IT should validate driver availability, network policy, and the actual PDF workflow before putting this unit back into regular service.
The printer handles standard Letter through D+ sheet sizes and up to 24-inch rolls, but it is not a scanner or copier. Firms with frequent marked-up plan copying, archive intake, or 36-inch documents should look at the HP DesignJet T918 36-in instead. That is the meaningful in-family step-up listed here: wider media plus scanner/MFP capability. It is also listed as discontinued, so service and supply planning still deserve a hard look.
Bottom line: The failure mode is not poor line work; it is a modest paper-handling setup meeting a big deadline.
Use the estimator as a starting point for a short line-drawing run, then add time for file preparation, roll loading, output handling, and any reprints.
One set: – · Weekly plotting time: –
Computed from the manufacturer's rated 269 ft²/h (a per-page burst rating). Real-world mixed sets run slower — treat this as a best case for comparing machines, not a promise.
Replacement and installed-base reality
If this machine is already in service, its compact 41 x 21.1 x 8.66-inch body and 50.7-lb weight can make it practical to keep as a secondary plotter for occasional technical sheets. Confirm the condition of the ink system, cutter, paper paths, and network connection before assigning it deadline work. Compatible supplies listed for the unit include HP 10 and HP 11 ink families, plus Greenman H10B ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Black, Greenman H11C, Greenman H11M, and Greenman H11Y. Verify the required supply family against the installed machine before ordering.
For a 24-inch alternative, the Canon GP-200 24-in is a current catalog option. It should be evaluated on its own workflow fit, not treated as a like-for-like answer simply because the roll width matches. Use the side-by-side comparison to keep the discussion tied to media handling, connectivity, and the jobs that actually leave the print room.
Bottom line: Keep this model for light, local plotting if it is dependable; replace it when volume, scanning, wider sheets, or modern IT support become daily requirements.

The read
The HP Designjet 110plus nr remains a sensible fit for a small AEC office that prints occasional plans, color coordination sheets, and heavier one-off media close to the design team. It is not a plan-room substitute. The rated A1 line-drawing pace, single-roll setup, and limited output capacity will become painfully visible when several people send sets at once. If that happens only now and then, it can still do useful work. If it happens every Thursday, the printer has already voted.

Straight answers
Can the HP Designjet 110plus nr print D-size construction drawings?
Yes. Supported imperial sheet sizes include Letter, legal, tabloid, C, D, and D+. It also supports rolls up to 24 inches wide.
Is this a good printer for large bid or permit sets?
Not usually. HP rates a draft A1 color line drawing at up to 1.5 min/page, and the machine has one roll input and a 50-sheet output capacity. Those limits create operator work during larger runs.
Can it print thick presentation media?
The rear path supports media up to 300 g/m2. The tray, manual single-sheet feed, and roll feed have lower stated media-weight ranges.
Does it scan or copy marked-up drawings?
No scanner or copy function is listed for this printer. The HP DesignJet T918 36-in is the listed in-family alternative with scanner/MFP capability.
What connectivity does it have?
Ethernet LAN and USB are listed. Its compatible operating systems are older Windows XP and Mac OS versions, so current driver and network compatibility should be checked before deployment.
Which inks should buyers verify for an installed unit?
Compatible supplies listed include HP 10 and HP 11 ink families, plus Greenman H10B ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Black, Greenman H11C, Greenman H11M, and Greenman H11Y. Confirm the installed configuration before ordering supplies.
