HP XL-3800: A Worthy Upgrade for Your Toner Plotter - TAVCO

Listen to the audio version:

Move over old-school, legacy toner-based plotters. The HP DesignJet XL-3800 MFP is here to redefine large-format printing for AEC professionals—faster, greener, and budget-friendly.

Why the XL-3800 Stands Out

This next-gen plotter takes precision and durability to new heights, leaving toner-based machines in the dust. It's quicker, eco-conscious, and wrapped up with top-notch security.

Quick Specs to Know

Speed: 6 D-size color pages per minute; 20-second first printout.

Ink: 100% pigment-based HP Flex Inks in 500ml cartridges.

Connectivity: LAN, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct options.

Software: Integrates with HP Command Center and Smart Stream.

Save Big with XL-3800

Regarding fiscal responsibility, the HP DesignJet XL-3800 outshines traditional toner-based plotters. With an average print cost of $0.09 per square foot, compared to the $0.15 per square foot of older toner models, the XL-3800 offers remarkable cost-efficiency. 

 

Since the XL-3800 is a full-color machine, color lines cost the same. So, over a year, that translates to an annual savings of approximately $1,080 for a typical firm printing 1,500 square feet monthly.

The 5-Year Advantage

Considering the total cost of ownership over five years, the XL-3800 could save your firm an impressive $5,400 compared to traditional toner-based plotters. These aren't just savings; they're opportunities for reinvestment in innovation, staff, and other mission-critical resources for your projects.

Why Pigment Ink Matters

HP Flex Inks deliver durability, color saturation, and detail, meeting AEC standards for archival quality. They're long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

 

Pigment inks are incredibly resilient and are fade-proof and water-resistant. So, you can take your printing drawings to the field worry-free. Plus, when you highlight, markup, or redline your sheet, the ink stays in place and does not bleed.
