Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP DesignJet T730 Printer is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a mid-size architecture, engineering, or design firm (5-15 seats) that needs production A1/D plot speed in a 36-inch chassis.
  • You print 30-100 A1 plots per day — 25 seconds per A1, 82 A1 prints per hour from the roll. That's 3x faster than older HP DesignJets in the same class.
  • You want flexible ink cartridge sizes — the HP 728 cartridge family runs 40-ml to 300-ml, so you can match supply size to your monthly volume.
  • You need wireless and mobile printing — Wi-Fi, HP ePrint, AirPrint, and the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app are standard.
  • You need basic device security — HP Trusted Platform Module standard, plus IPSec and 802.1X authentication for enterprise networks.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to ~150 A1 plots a day — the engine handles it but the per-cartridge ink cost is best on the 300-ml HP 728 cartridges; the 40-ml are starter sizes only.
  • You only print from one roll — single roll only on the T730; dual-roll auto-switching is a T1600DR / T1700 feature.
  • You can live without PostScript — this is non-PostScript. The T1600 PS / T1700 PS handle PostScript.
  • You can live without an automatic sheet feeder — the front feed tray handles cut-sheet half-scale prints to cut waste by 50%, but it's not as polished as the T520/T530 input tray.
  • You're stepping up from a T520 / T530 — operators adapt quickly; the touchscreen workflow carries over.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need to scan large originals — this is print-only. The MFP equivalent in this size is the T2530 / T2600 (36-inch with integrated CIS scanner).
  • You only need 24-inch output — don't pay for the 36-inch chassis; the T530 24-inch (5ZY60A) is right.
  • You need 44-inch output — this caps at 36-inch. The T1700 is the 44-inch dual-roll engine.
  • You need PostScript — this model is non-PostScript. The T1600 PS or T1700 PS are the step-ups.
  • You print high volumes of presentation color or GIS maps for outdoor use — dye-based CMY isn't lightfast. Z-series pigment printers fit better.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP DesignJet T730 36-in (F9A29A) is HP's mid-volume production wide-format CAD plotter — a single-function inkjet printer for mid-size architecture, engineering, and design teams (5-15 seats) that need real A1/D plot speed in a 36-inch chassis. It prints A1/D pages in 25 seconds (mechanical) from the roll, around 82 A1 prints per hour, which HP pitches as 3x faster than previous-gen DesignJets in the same class. Resolution is up to 2400 x 1200 optimized dpi using HP Thermal Inkjet and the HP 728 4-cartridge ink set, with cartridge sizes spanning 40-ml to 300-ml so you can right-size ink supply to monthly volume. Roll handles up to 36-inch widths; the front sheet-feed tray cuts waste by ~50% by printing at half-scale onto cut sheets. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T), Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi standard; mobile printing via HP ePrint, AirPrint, and the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles media-roll management, reprint queue, and ink/printhead status. Security includes HP Trusted Platform Module, IPSec, and 802.1X — basic but real. The thing buyers regret: assuming this is a production engine. 25 sec/A1 is fast for a single-roll plotter, but if your team plots 100+ A1/day in deadline crunches, the dual-roll T1600 with auto-switching beats this — no roll changes during long runs.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Been using this for large format printing at my architecture firm for about a year now. The 24-inch width is perfect for our needs, and the image quality on technical drawings is solid. Setup was straightforward and the driver support has been reliable."
  • ★ "I use this for printing photos and design proofs in my small studio. It handles matte and glossy paper well, though the ink cartridges are pricey. Print speeds are decent and I like that it doesn't take up too much desk space."
  • ★ "Upgraded from an older plotter for our construction company. This thing just works. Network printing is easy to set up, colors are accurate on site plans, and we haven't had any major issues in eight months of heavy use."
