Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP PageWide XL 5100 Printer series – 2RQ08B 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 busy plan room or AEC firm printing 2,000-6,000 D-size pages per month and need 20 D/A1 pages/minute consistently.
  • You want consolidated mono+color sets in 50% of the time vs. running a separate mono LED printer plus a color printer.
  • You need the high-capacity 500-page stacker so the operator isn't unloading every 100 pages on long runs.
  • You need native PostScript 3 and PDF 1.7 (included on the BH SKU), HP SmartStream, and HP SmartTracker for cost reporting.
  • You need scan/copy on the MFP — 36-in CIS scanner at 1200 dpi optical, 18 m TIFF length, scan-to-USB/SMB/email/SmartStream.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 1,000-2,000 D-size sheets a month — overbuilt for that, but the high-capacity stacker pays for itself when you do hit a 500-sheet job.
  • You're cross-shopping the 4100 — the 5100 doubles throughput (20 vs. 10 D/A1 ppm) and adds dual 400-ml ink supplies with auto-switch. If you ever wait at the printer, jump to the 5100.
  • You don't need 6 rolls — the 5100 caps at 4 rolls; the 8000-series adds a 6-roll option.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 500 D-size sheets a month — the per-page math doesn't justify a 1,194-lb production plotter.
  • You need >20 D/A1 pages/min — jump to the 5200 (20 ppm with 15.6-in touchscreen and Eco-Carton inks) or the 8000-series (30 ppm).
  • You don't have floor-loading clearance — MFP is 76.8 in wide, 948 lb; the high-capacity stacker is another 308 lb in a separate footprint.
  • You need photo-quality color — 4-color CMYK pigment is tuned for CAD, maps, and posters, not photo reproduction.
  • You need duplex output — large-format rolls are single-sided only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP PageWide XL 5100 MFP is a 40-inch production plotter built for plan rooms, busy AEC firms, and reprographics shops that need to push 20 D/A1 pages per minute and want one device for both mono and color. It hits 1200 x 1200 dpi using HP 843C PageWide XL pigment inks in dual 400-ml cartridges with auto-switching (so the printer never stops mid-run for an empty cartridge), and ships standard with a 500-page high-capacity stacker for long unattended runs. The MFP version (2RQ08FBH) bundles a 36-inch CIS scanner at 1200 dpi optical, scan-to-USB/SMB/email/HP SmartStream, and PostScript/PDF on the embedded controller (Intel Core i5, 16 GB DDR3, 128 GB SSD plus 500 GB self-encrypted HDD). 2 rolls are standard, expandable to 4. The 8-inch capacitive touchscreen drives copy and scan workflows including preview-with-cropping, scan quicksets, and batch scanning. The thing buyers regret: skipping the optional folder if they actually need folded D-size or A0/E sheets — the K5H75A or L3M58A folder accessories are an extra invoice line and add a meaningful footprint. If you're already running mono+color sets daily, the 5100 pays for itself in operator hours saved (no manual collation between two printers). Footprint is 76.8 x 33 x 51.3 in for the MFP plus the high-capacity stacker (55.6 x 49.1 x 42.6 in) — 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:

  • "Got this for my small printing business doing signage and banners. The XL 5100 is fast and the output quality is good, though ink costs add up quick if you're doing high volume color work. Worth it for the speed and reliability though."
  • "IT department here. Deployed three of these PageWide XL 5100s across our organization for CAD and engineering departments. Network printing works well, maintenance is straightforward, and it handles our paper types without issues. Good value for an enterprise-level wide format solution."

FAQ

HP PageWide XL 5100 Printer series – 2RQ08B, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (386) 261-8323 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

The HP PageWide XL 5100 Printer series – 2RQ08B does not use traditional toner; it utilizes high-capacity, pigment-based ink cartridges. The printer ships with starter ink cartridges, each holding 400 ml of ink. Replacement cartridges are available in the HP 843A or HP 848A models, also with a 400-ml capacity. When you lease through us with ink included, you never pay for ink separately.
The HP PageWide XL 5100 Printer series – 2RQ08B is a 40-inch production plotter with a 36-inch CIS scanner, designed for high-volume printing at 20 D/A1 pages per minute using pigment-based ink. In contrast, the HP DesignJet HD Pro Multifunction Printer (44 in) is a 44-inch MFP with a CCD scanner capable of scanning rigid originals up to 15 mm thick, offering higher scan resolution (1200 dpi optical, 9600 dpi enhanced) and a slightly slower print speed of 116 A1 prints per hour. The PageWide XL 5100 is better suited for busy AEC firms needing fast, consistent mono and color output, while the DesignJet HD Pro is ideal for large CAD/GIS shops requiring advanced scanning capabilities.
The HP PageWide XL 5100 Printer series – 2RQ08B is designed for high-volume production environments, such as plan rooms or reprographics shops, and may be overkill for a small business with lower print volumes. It is best suited for businesses printing 2,000-6,000 D-size pages per month. If your business has lower print needs, consider a more compact and cost-effective option.
Yes, the HP PageWide XL 5100 Printer series – 2RQ08B supports color printing. It uses HP 843C PageWide XL pigment inks in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, allowing for high-quality color output at 1200 x 1200 dpi.
