The 42" HP DesignJet 500PS plotter delivers clear, crisp images with rich, true colors and uncompromising image quality. HP
DesignJet 500 Series plotters are the perfect choice for graphics and technical professionals who want a smart, reasonably
priced system for a personal office or small workgroup.

The added support for Adobe PostScript Level 3 will give you the assurance that your most complex documents will print correctly
and your business will possess superior workflow efficiency and reliability. Fewer supplies changes are needed, unattended printing
is possible and low cost of ownership is achieved with the high-capacity HP cartridges and long-life HP printheads.

Equipped with smart chips, the 500PS can identify low ink levels and worn printheads. In addition, HP Zoomsmart scaling
technology allows easy printing from any Microsoft Windows application. The 500PS uses its 16MB of RAM to its advantage when
it comes to getting media out the door.
