Analyst take
- The 24-inch maximum width fits D-size and smaller output but not wider-format drawing requirements.
- HP specifies +/- 0.1% line accuracy and a 0.00167-inch minimum line width for detail-oriented technical output.
- One roll input and a rear single-sheet feed make this a small-batch device rather than a mixed-media production platform.

What you should know
Key takeaways
- The 24-inch maximum width fits D-size and smaller output but not wider-format drawing requirements.
- HP specifies +/- 0.1% line accuracy and a 0.00167-inch minimum line width for detail-oriented technical output.
- One roll input and a rear single-sheet feed make this a small-batch device rather than a mixed-media production platform.
- The listed HP-GL/2, HP-RTL, PostScript, Citrix, Mac OS X, and Novell support can help legacy environments, but current endpoint compatibility needs testing.
- Ethernet, an embedded web server, and HP Web Jetadmin support give IT management options, though network security requirements should be reviewed separately.
- A wider or dual-roll alternative becomes more compelling when media changes and plan-set handling consume staff time.
The HP Designjet T1100ps 610 mm Printer is a 24-inch AEC plotter for teams that need dependable D-size drawing output without dedicating the floor space of a wider production device. It handles roll media and rear-fed sheets, includes an automatic cutter, and supports CAD-oriented HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL Windows drivers alongside PostScript Windows and Mac OS X drivers. For an architect issuing a small permit set, an engineer checking coordination drawings, or a survey team producing color GIS sheets, that is a sensible set of basics.
Its strengths are precision-oriented rather than production-line oriented. HP specifies line accuracy of +/- 0.1%, a minimum line width of 0.00167 inch, and draft A1 line drawings in 35 seconds. Those figures deserve context: the rate is useful for individual plots and modest batches, but real output time still includes PDF processing, media changes, retrieval, and sorting. A plotter that saves thirty seconds a plot buys you nothing if the file spends four minutes finding it.

Where it earns its place in an AEC workflow
The five-ink system—cyan, magenta, yellow, matte black, photo black, and gray—is particularly well suited to teams that need readable black linework but also print shaded plans, discipline overlays, site maps, and occasional presentation sheets. HP positions its three-black arrangement and gray ink for smoother tones; in practical AEC terms, that matters most when a PDF contains both fine annotation and color-coded coordination information.
- Single-office teams printing D-size drawings, A-series sheets, and smaller check plots.
- Design and engineering groups that need both CAD/GIS linework and occasional color presentation media.
- Networked environments using Ethernet, the embedded web server, or HP Web Jetadmin.
- Users with legacy Windows, Mac OS X, Citrix MetaFrame, or Novell NetWare workflows.
The 40 GB internal storage and in-printer processing architecture are useful when several users submit large files over the network. The trade-off is media capacity: this is a one-roll device with a single rear sheet feed. It is not designed to keep two common media types loaded or to absorb a long run of mixed-size plan sets without operator attention.
Media, output, and the operator minutes around the machine
The printer accepts rolls from 11 to 24 inches wide and sheets from 8.5 to 24 inches wide, with supported media weights from 60 to 328 g/m². Bond, coated paper, technical papers, films, self-adhesive media, and vinyl are listed among supported media types. That range makes it more versatile than a bond-only drawing device, provided the office has a reason to use those materials rather than merely admire the option.
Output lands in a basket, and the printer has one roll input. For a small studio, that is often manageable. For a construction office repeatedly moving between bond drawing sets and color presentation sheets, it becomes a recurring interruption. Money is minutes: loading a different roll, confirming the media setting, and collecting an uncollated set are small events until they become the print-room job description.
Supplies listed for this model include the HP 85 ink family and HP 84 and HP 85 printhead families. Confirm supply availability and service support locally before treating an installed machine as a long-term fleet standard.
Estimate rated plot time for draft A1 line drawings, then add your own allowance for job processing, roll handling, and set assembly.

Computed from the manufacturer's rated 471 ft²/h. Real-world mixed sets run slower — treat this as a best case for comparing machines, not a promise.
IT fit and the sensible family comparison
For IT, the T1100ps has Ethernet, USB 2.0, an embedded web server, HP Web Jetadmin support, and a 240 x 160-pixel control-panel display. It also has explicitly listed support for operating systems and platforms that are now legacy environments. That is useful for preserving an established workflow, but it should prompt a compatibility test with the firm’s current endpoints, authentication policy, print server, and PDF submission method. Network connectivity is not the same thing as modern security governance.
Within the catalog, the HP DesignJet T1120ps 24-in is the natural same-width alternative for buyers comparing another 24-inch HP configuration. Firms needing wider sheets should examine the HP DesignJet T1100ps 44-in or move to a wider current family option such as the HP DesignJet T1600dr 36-in. The latter is explicitly listed as dual-roll, which is the operational change that matters when staff frequently switch media. Use the comparison tool to keep width, roll configuration, and workflow needs in the same conversation.

The read
Choose the HP Designjet T1100ps 610 mm Printer if your work centers on 24-inch CAD, GIS, and color technical output, your batches are modest, and a single roll is operationally acceptable. Choose the HP DesignJet T1100ps 44-in if width is the immediate constraint; choose the HP DesignJet T1600dr 36-in if roll switching and unattended throughput are the actual problem. Buy the machine for the workflow you have, not the one the brochure imagines.

Questions
Straight answers
Can the HP Designjet T1100ps 610 mm Printer print D-size construction drawings?
It has a maximum media width of 24 inches and supports imperial A, B, C, and D media sizes. Confirm the intended sheet orientation, margins, and application setup for each drawing template.
How fast is it for CAD line drawings?
HP rates draft A1 color and black-and-white line drawings on plain paper at 35 seconds per page, and lists 52 A1 color line drawings per hour. Those are rated print figures, not complete job turnaround times.
Does it support both technical drawings and presentation work?
Yes. Listed media types include bond and coated papers, photographic papers, technical papers, films, self-adhesive media, and vinyl. Its ink set includes matte black, photo black, and gray alongside cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Is this printer suitable for a busy plan room?
It may suit modest batches, but it has one roll input, one sheet feed, and basket output. A busy room that changes between bond and presentation media or produces frequent mixed-size sets should consider a wider or dual-roll workflow.
What connectivity and management tools are available?
The printer includes Ethernet, USB 2.0, an embedded web server, HP Web Jetadmin support, and HP Easy Print Care/Printer Utility. Its listed software support includes several legacy operating systems, so validate deployment with current IT standards.
