HP has expanded its large-format portfolio with a range of new workgroup and multifunction printers, software solutions, and new media choices.

With options to integrate into IT-managed network infrastructure environments, the new products, solutions and large-format papers provide geographic information systems (GIS), architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), and mechanical computer aided design (MCAD) workgroups increased personal productivity with improved connectivity, security, fleet management, and cost control capabilities, according to HP.

Delivering fast print speeds, an in-printer processing architecture with an 80GB hard disk and convenient job management tools, the HP Designjet T1120 Printer series allows professionals to meet deadlines while maintaining professional print quality.

The new HP Designjet T1120 SD-MFP provides a solution to small and medium-sized technical firms interested in reducing outsourcing costs with an in-house device that includes print, copy, and contact image sensor (CIS) scanning technology. The HP Designjet T1120 HD-MFP offers copy, scan, and manageability features in one integrated device with charge-coupled device (CCD) scanning technology and HP Vivera inks.
