What you should know
Key takeaways
- A 24-inch four-cartridge color inkjet that prints up to A1 sheets from a media tray, not a roll.
- Line accuracy is rated at +/- 0.2%, keeping scaled drawings dimensionally trustworthy.
- The tray handles bond, coated, glossy and photo stock from 60 to 210 g/m² for both working plans and presentation sheets.
- No roll feed means every large sheet is a manual load — practical for a few A1s a day, not for full plan sets.
- No Ethernet and support topping out at Windows 7 / Mac OS X 10.6 make office networking a real IT question.
- Quiet at 50 dB and ENERGY STAR listed at 45 W typical, so it suits an occupied studio.
Picture the small studio at 4:45 on a Thursday. One person, one machine, one A1 site plan that needs to be in a client’s hands before they leave. That’s the job the HP Designjet 111 with tray was built to do — not run a bid room, not feed a reprographics counter, just print a clean drawing when a small office needs one.
It’s a four-cartridge color inkjet, 24 inches wide, sheet-and-tray fed. No scanner. No roll deck. No Ethernet. Know that going in, and the rest of the picture makes sense.

What it actually does well
Line accuracy is rated at +/- 0.2%. For a small architecture or civil practice, that means a scaled detail measures out the way it should — close enough that nobody’s arguing over a dimension pulled off a printed sheet. Black text prints at up to 1200 x 600 DPI in best quality, which keeps 8-point callouts and hatch patterns legible instead of muddy.
The tray is the story here. It pulls bond, coated, glossy and photo stock from 60 to 210 g/m². So the same box that prints a working plan can also spit out a coated presentation sheet for a client meeting. Media loads flat, not off a roll, which sidesteps the curl and cutter problems that plague small roll-fed units.
At 45 W typical and ENERGY STAR listed, it won’t move your power bill. And at 50 dB it’s quiet enough to sit in an occupied studio without anyone glaring at it.
Where it isn't the right tool
Let me name the failure modes before you find them the hard way. No roll feed means every large sheet is a manual load — fine for a few A1s a day, painful for a permit set of thirty. No Ethernet either; connection is via the parallel port, so networking it for a whole office takes a print server and some patience. And the supported operating systems top out at Windows 7, Vista, XP and Mac OS X 10.6. On a current Windows 11 network, that’s a conversation to have with IT before you buy.
If your day involves rolls, collated plan sets, or a scanner for as-builts, you’ve outgrown this class entirely. That’s where a wider MFP like the HP DesignJet T918 36-in lived — a 36-inch machine with an integrated scanner, though it’s now discontinued. For a current 24-inch roll-fed alternative, the Canon GP-200 24-in or the Canon iPF600 line are worth a look. See how the 24-inch class stacks up before you commit.
Worth comparing before you decide
The read
The HP Designjet 111 with tray is a single-user, single-sheet machine for a small office that prints a handful of drawings a day and occasionally a coated presentation sheet. On that job it’s honest and quiet. The tray feeding four media types is its real advantage, and +/- 0.2% line accuracy keeps your dimensions trustworthy.
But the no-roll, no-Ethernet, older-OS reality is not a footnote — it’s the whole buying decision. If your work never leaves the drawing table in bulk, it fits. If your afternoons involve plan sets, rolls or a scanner, look past this class and don’t stay late fighting it.

Questions
Straight answers
Can this printer handle a full permit or bid set?
Not comfortably. It feeds from a tray with no roll, so every large sheet is a manual load. It’s built for one drawing at a time, not collated plan sets.
How do I connect it to my office network?
There’s no built-in Ethernet — connection is through a single parallel port. Networking it for multiple users requires a separate print server, and it isn’t a native fit on modern networks.
Will it run on current Windows?
The listed operating system support tops out at Windows 7, Vista and XP, plus Mac OS X up to 10.6. On Windows 11 you should confirm driver options with IT before buying.
What inks and printhead does it use?
It’s a four-cartridge system in black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Compatible inks include the HP 11 and HP 82 families, with several maintenance and media options available.
Is the line quality good enough for engineering detail?
Black prints at up to 1200 x 600 DPI in best quality with +/- 0.2% line accuracy, which keeps small text and scaled dimensions legible on a working sheet.
What should I look at if I need a roll or a scanner?
You’ve outgrown this class. For a current 24-inch roll-fed machine consider the Canon GP-200 24-in or Canon iPF600 24-in; for a scanner-equipped MFP, the discontinued HP DesignJet T918 36-in filled that role.
