Solutions
• Unattendedness: The HP DesignJet 500PS printing system includes a modular ink delivery system, with 69-
cc cartridge capacity, and long life printheads which last, on average, through ten black ink cartridges and six
color ink cartridges, depending on use. This modular system allows users to replace individual ink supplies
separately, as needed and also provide automatic alignment and cutting and stacking of finished prints in the
media bin, enabling continuous and unattended printing. In addition, the HP DesignJet 500PS printer
includes smart chips that are embedded into each individual printhead and ink cartridge that alert the user if it
time to replace the printhead and continuously monitor ink levels.
• Ease-of-use: The HP DesignJet 500PS printing system is a true out-of the box solution and provides the user
with everything he or she needs to install and use the printer. The HP DesignJet 500PS printer includes a
control-display panel for simple navigation, straightforward media loading and easy-to-install RIP software.
• HP Premium Printing Material: The HP DesignJet 500PS A0+/E+ size and D/A1 size printing systems accept
a wide range of roll and sheet media from 24 inches/609.6 mm (D/A1 size) to 42 inches/1066.8 mm
(A0+/E+ size) wide including HP Satin Poster Paper, HP High-Gloss Photo Paper and HP Heavyweight
