Large-format printers and plotters usually lead you in one of two directions: technical drawings and wide plans, or photo prints and graphics. Some wide-format purchases are about plotter-style documents; others are about photo-style output. The HP DesignJet T210 Large Format Plotter Printer and the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Wide Format Color Inkjet Printer are both open-box options in this space, but they aim at different jobs.
Quick verdict
Your choice comes down to output type. The HP DesignJet T210 is aimed at plotter work, while the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is aimed at photo and graphics work. When you compare listed prices, the HP is USD 574.99 and the Epson is USD 349.99, so the spread is $225. Both are open-box units.

Product notes
HP DesignJet T210 24-in Large Format Plotter Printer
This unit is described as new in the box, with the box opened to confirm the contents. Everything shown in the photos is included. The printer uses thermal inkjet technology and measures 39.9 inches long, 11.2 inches high, and 17.3 inches wide. For buyers who regularly print technical drawings, the 24-inch width and Roll Feed and Sheet Feed inputs make it a strong fit. Ethernet connectivity suits an office setup, and the touchscreen with roll paper support simplifies handling long media. The limiting side is the output focus: it is a plotter rather than a photo printer, so photo prints are not its primary territory; the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is the photo-oriented option.
Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Wide Format Color Inkjet Printer
This printer is brand new and remains in its original packaging. It has never been set up for printing and was powered on successfully but not test-printed. For photo and graphic work up to 13x19 inches, it provides a 5760 x 1440 DPI maximum resolution and USB-C connectivity. The ability to print directly onto compatible inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs is a useful extra. The trade-off is its format ceiling: 13x19 inches is not a 24-inch plotter format, so for continuous large plans, the HP DesignJet T210 is the plotter model.
Final choice by use case
If your daily work is drafting, plans, or other large-format documents, the HP DesignJet T210 is the model to take seriously. If your priority is photo and graphics output, the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is the more aligned choice. Pick the one that matches the bulk of your projects, then plan the occasional other job accordingly.
