Your Printer’s Main Features
The HP DesignJet 500PS printing system is specially designed for individuals or small work-groups in the
advertising agencies, in-house graphic departments that specialize in packaging, point-of-sale material and
events as well as other graphics applications.
For the complete printing solution, HP also offers a wide range of media including HP Satin Poster Paper, ideal for
graphics artists as well as HP High-Gloss Photo Paper, designed to produce best quality images with an ultra-
smooth glossy finish. And with the HP Complementary Media Program, HP provides users with a wide spectrum
of choice and flexibility in their media selection.
The HP DesignJet 500PS printer comes in two sizes: A0+/E+ size (42 inches/1066.8 mm) and D/A1 size
(24 inches/609.6 mm) models. Both models have roll-feed capabilities. The A0+/E+ size model also includes legs
and a media bin.
• Ultimate Photo Image Quality: The HP DesignJet 500PS printing system has a true resolution of 1200x600-
dpi on glossy paper, delivering ultimate photo image quality with continuous tones and smooth transitions.
Light pastels to natural skin tones and bright, vivid colors are achieved using the HP one-half inch/12.7mm
wide printhead combined with HP color layering technology. The HP DesignJet 500PS printer also delivers
excellent line quality due to the fact that each printhead contains 304 nozzles, producing miniscule 18-picoliter
black pigmented ink drops and four picoliter color dye-based drops.
• Color Accuracy, Consistency and Management: The HP DesignJet 500PS printer includes Adobe®
PostScript® 3™ software Raster Image Processor (RIP) which imitates the color behavior of offset printing
presses and supports emulation standards DIC, EuroScale, SWOP and TOYO. In addition, the
HP DesignJet 500PS printer delivers consistent color accuracy and supports ColorSync 3.0 for Macintosh
users and PANTONE
tables for Windows users. And by using the closed loop color
calibration system, the HP DesignJet 500PS printer prints repeatable colors,
independently of printhead usage, ambient temperature, humidity or ink levels.
