Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP PageWide XL 3900 MFP 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 run a reprographics, AEC, or large in-house print room moving 500-2,000 D-size pages a month and need 6 D/A1 pages per minute consistently.
  • You want one device for both mono and color line work — PageWide pigment ink runs cheaper per page than low-volume LED at this volume.
  • You need scan and copy on the same chassis up to 36-inches wide at 1200 dpi optical, with batch scanning and scan-to-network/email/FTP.
  • You print on uncoated bond and need water- and fade-resistant output (HP 849 PageWide XL pigment).
  • You want 2 rolls with auto-switching standard, and the option to expand to 4 rolls so the operator isn't reloading paper between jobs.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 200-500 D-size sheets a month — the machine handles it but you're not amortizing the price as fast as a higher-volume shop would.
  • You need PostScript or multi-page PDF scan output — the CZ317A PostScript/PDF Upgrade Kit is an extra invoice line.
  • You want HP SmartStream for production workflows — it's optional software (6SE88AAE), not bundled.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 100 D-size sheets a month — the operating cost case versus an inkjet plotter (T-series DesignJet) doesn't pencil at low volume.
  • You need photo-quality color graphics — this is a 4-color CMYK pigment system tuned for technical drawings, maps, and posters, not a 6+ ink photo plotter.
  • You don't have the floor space — 77 inches wide and 950 lb (430 kg). Plan for a print-room install, not a workgroup corner.
  • You only need print, no scan — buy the 3900 single-function model (5VR45A) instead and save the scanner cost.
  • You need duplex output — large-format rolls are single-sided only on this platform.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP PageWide XL 3900 MFP is a 40-inch production multifunction plotter built for reprographics, AEC firms, and in-house print rooms that need to consolidate mono and color large-format work onto one device. It runs 6 D/A1 pages per minute with a 30-second first page out, prints at 1200 x 1200 dpi using HP 849 PageWide XL pigment inks (water- and fade-resistant on uncoated bond), and pairs that with an integrated 36-inch CIS scanner at 1200 dpi optical for scan, copy, and digital workflow. Two media rolls are standard with auto-switching, expandable to four with the 1AT07B accessory upgrade kit. The 100-page integrated top stacker handles output without a separate finisher, and an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen drives intuitive copy and scan workflows including automatic background removal. Embedded controller is an Intel Core i3 with 8 GB DDR3 and a 500 GB self-encrypted (AES-256) HDD. Connectivity is wired Ethernet via TCP/IP plus USB 2.0 host. The thing buyers regret: paying for color throughput they don't print. If your color volume is under 10% of total D-size pages, the math against a mono LED plotter gets close — but the moment you need any color renderings, this is the cleaner answer. Footprint is 77.2 x 34.0 x 51.3 in and the unit weighs 430 kg (~950 lb), so plan a print-room install with floor-loading clearance.

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 2 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We got this for our print shop and it's handled the high-volume work way better than our old setup. The 3900 prints large format stuff faster than expected, and the scanning feature saves us time on document management."
  • ★ "Replaced our old wide format printer with this and the difference is noticeable. The XL 3900 is reliable for our engineering department's daily needs and hasn't given us major headaches like the previous model did."
