Hello

If you are not familiar with us, we are from Requiremints (operating also the Mint99 product research platform) and we spend our time comparing products to save you the headache.

To help you figure out the best machine for your blueprints and posters without overthinking it, we recently reviewed 20+ options of plotter printers in different price ranges.

Here are a few things to consider before you buy:

• Media width - Decide if you need a standard 24-inch machine for basic technical drawings or a wider 36-inch model for large architectural plans.
• Space requirements - Some of these are huge standalone machines with legs, while others feature a desktop design to fit into a tight home office workspace.
• Print speed - If you run a busy design studio, look for high-speed models that can spit out a large A1 sheet in under 40 seconds to keep things moving.

Here is how the top options stack up.

36-Inch Wide Format Plotters

• [Best High Speed] HP DesignJet T650 - A fantastic 36-inch machine that handles heavy architectural workloads easily. It prints fast and uses smart software to avoid wasting expensive ink on layout errors.
• [Best Wireless Plotter] Epson SureColor T5170 - This 36-inch unit is incredibly fast, pushing out large sheets in just 31 seconds. It holds high-capacity ink and connects directly to your phone without a router.
• [Great Technical Plotter] HP DesignJet T630 - A reliable 36-inch tool for engineering maps and line art. It includes an automatic sheet feeder and a built-in cutter to keep your workspace organized.
