For those in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industries, it is crucial to find the right architectural printer that not only meets all your needs but empowers you and the entire team in your office. While you should consider a printer that helps in streamlining workflow, enabling collaboration across departments and supporting an agile work culture, having one that supports sustainability and is well-designed is a perk and helps put you ahead of the competition.
Let’s talk about how HP DesignJet Studio printers can help you be cost efficient while being environmentally friendly.
Firstly, HP DesignJet Studio printers consume lesser ink than competitor brands, adding up to a substantial savings in ink costs for your company.
Secondly, a lot of ink is usually wasted during nozzle cleaning, where ink is purged to clear any nozzle blockage. With HP DesignJet Studio printers, it uses ink spraying instead of ink purging, thus requires no waste ink tanks. Plus, nozzle cleaning only affects the clogged nozzles and not all nozzles — once again, saving ink for the printer, and saving costs for you.
In addition, our HP DesignJet Studio printers are energy efficient, and are proud to be Energy Star-certified!

So far, we have shown how the HP DesignJet Studio printer features cost-efficient ways in terms of ink usage, but that’s not all. When used heavily day to day, all architectural printers will eventually require some maintenance, for example, worn out printheads. This usually means a phone call to the manufacturer and booking an appointment for the maintenance person to come down and replace the printhead. Meanwhile, the printer is out of work for several hours, or even days! All this downtime means more costs for you.
With HP DesignJet Studio printer, all that hassle goes away. With easy to replace printheads, you can do it yourself without engaging professionals to come on site.
In this industry, accurately printed technical drawings support successful AEC projects — that is why when it comes to choosing a large format printer, it is essential to select the architectural printer that features the following:
The HP DesignJet Studio series meets all the above requirements with its unparalleled performance and stylish design. So if you are looking for architectural prints that are sure to impress, look no further than the HP DesignJet Studio printers.
