It’s 4:45 on a Thursday. Somebody in civil needs a 24-inch site plan out the door before the courier leaves. The T620 is the machine standing between that person and staying late. That’s the job. Not a spec sheet — a deadline with a paper tray.
The HP DesignJet T620 is a 24-inch wide-format inkjet built for the everyday grind of AEC drawing output: bid sets, permit sets, redlines, the occasional presentation board. It runs the six-cartridge HP 72 ink system with HP 72 printheads, which is the same family that shows up across a lot of DesignJet gear from this generation. That matters when you’re buying consumables and don’t want surprises.

What it actually does well
Line work is the point of a machine like this. Fine linework, small annotation text, dimension strings that have to stay legible when a field crew unfolds a sheet in the wind — that’s the daily test. The HP 72 ink set includes a photo black and a matte black path, and the optional HP 72B 130-ml Gray DesignJet Ink Cartridge helps when you’re printing grayscale coordination drawings that shouldn’t go warm or muddy.
Media flexibility is broad. Plain bond for check sets, coated stock for client-facing work, and specialty rolls when you need them — HP Matte Film 610 mm x 38.1 m (24 in x 125 ft), HP Premium Gloss 610 mm x 15.2 m (24 in x 50 ft), even backlit and polyester films are in the compatible list. Most days you’ll live on bond. It’s nice to know the range is there.
The single-roll reality
Here’s the honest limitation. The T620 feeds from one roll on the HP DesignJet 24-in Spindle. One roll. When a mixed bid set wants both bond and a coated presentation sheet, somebody swaps media mid-job. That’s fine for a small studio. It’s a bottleneck when three deadlines stack up on the same afternoon.
If unattended, no-touch production is what you’re chasing, look up the family. The HP DesignJet T650 24-in and HP DesignJet T630 24-in are the current same-width siblings worth putting side by side, and if you need genuine dual-roll switching and a bigger sheet, the HP DesignJet T1600dr 36-in is the step up. Want to see the trade in one view? Compare the T620 and T650 before you commit.
Living with it
Consumables are straightforward: HP 72 cartridges, HP 72 printheads, and the usual maintenance kit and cutter parts. Nothing exotic to source. On the software side, the Serif PosterDesigner Pro add-on is available if presentation output is part of your mix, though most engineering shops won’t need it.
Coverage-wise, HP offers next-business-day support extensions in the DesignJet T-series program. Your real-world uptime still depends on local dealer technicians and how fast parts reach you — that calculation is regional, so ask before you sign anything. Cross-shopping Canon? The Canon iPF605 24-in and Canon iPF610 24-in sit in the same 24-inch bracket if you want a non-HP quote on the table.

The read
The T620 is a sensible single-roll 24-inch plotter for a shop that prints steadily but not frantically — a small architecture studio, a civil or MEP team that needs clean linework and doesn’t stack five deadlines on one afternoon. Buy it for reliable D-size output, not for hands-off volume. If your print room lives and dies by unattended roll-switching, look at a dual-roll model in the family instead. Match the machine to your worst Thursday, not your average Tuesday.
Bottom line: right-sized for the studio that prints on demand, undersized for the shop that never stops.

Questions
Straight answers
Does the T620 support two rolls for unattended printing?
No. It feeds a single roll from the HP DesignJet 24-in Spindle, so mixed-media bid sets require a manual media swap. If dual-roll switching is a priority, look at the HP DesignJet T1600dr 36-in.
What ink and printheads does it use?
It uses the HP 72 cartridge system and HP 72 printheads, with an optional HP 72B 130-ml Gray DesignJet Ink Cartridge for grayscale work. These are widely available across the DesignJet T-series generation.
Can it handle presentation and specialty media, or just bond?
Both. Plain bond covers daily check sets, and the compatible list includes coated papers, HP Premium Gloss, HP Matte Film, backlit and polyester films for client-facing output.
How does it compare to the current T650 and T630?
The HP DesignJet T650 24-in and HP DesignJet T630 24-in are the current same-width siblings worth cross-shopping. Compare them directly on features and workflow fit before deciding.
What support is available?
HP offers next-business-day support and warranty extensions in the DesignJet T-series program. Real-world uptime depends on local dealer technicians and parts availability, so confirm regional coverage before purchase.
Who is this machine wrong for?
A busy central reprographics department or any shop stacking multiple deadlines per afternoon will feel the single-roll limit. Those operations should move to a dual-roll model in the family.
