HP DesignJet T630 36 In. Large Format Plotter Inkjet Printer
The 36-inch width is the standout here: it's the only printer in this comparison that can output a full 36-inch roll. It also lists Ethernet, USB 2.0, and wireless connectivity, along with 1200 x 2400 DPI resolution and 1 GB memory, which makes it a reasonable fit for an office or studio handling large drawings. At $1,174.99, though, it carries the highest listed price in this group, and the condition is New - Open box. If you need the extra width, that price is justified. If you rarely go beyond 24 inches, you're paying for capacity you won't use. That makes it the clearest choice for design teams that want the full planning sheet size.
HP DesignJet T210 24-in Large Format Plotter Printer - New Open Box
At $574.99, this sits at the middle of the price range. It includes roll feed and sheet feed input plus touchscreen and roll paper support. Dimensions are 39.9 inches long, 11.2 inches tall, and 17.3 inches wide, so it's compact for a large-format unit. Connectivity is Ethernet, which suits many office setups. The touchscreen also helps when you're switching between roll and sheet jobs. The limitation is the 24-inch print width: it won't handle 36-inch rolls, so if your work includes full-width highway plans or other oversized sheets, you'd need to move up to the 36-inch T630. For everyday 24-inch drawings and posters, it provides a balanced set of features for the price.
HP DESIGN T100 24 IN LARGE FORMAT COLOR PLOTTER
This is the lowest-priced option in the group at $450. It's a used large-format color plotter with inkjet technology, and it's in excellent condition. If you're buying a wide format printer on a tight budget and 24-inch color output meets your needs, this gets you there for the least money. The trade-off is condition: this is the only used unit in the comparison, not an open-box unit. Also, like the other 24-inch models here, it won't print wider than 24 inches, so it doesn't cover 36-inch sheets. For a small shop or occasional printing, the low entry price is the main draw, and it leaves room in the budget for paper and ink.
New Open Box HP DesignJet T630 24" Printer, 5HB09D#B1K
This 24-inch T630 comes as the 2025 edition and is priced at $999.99. It's an open-box unit with wireless, Ethernet, and USB connectivity, and it's positioned for architectural drawings, engineering plans, posters, maps, and technical documents. The appeal is getting T630 features in a 2025-edition package without buying a 36-inch machine. The limitation shows up in the numbers: at $999.99, it's $175 less than the 36-inch T630, but you're giving up 12 inches of print width. That makes sense if you specifically want the updated 24-inch model, but if you're only choosing between these two T630 units, the 36-inch version offers more width for a relatively modest absolute increase. If you regularly produce 24-inch plan sets, this model bridges the gap between the lower-cost T210 and the wide-format T630.
Final recommendation
Go with the HP DesignJet T630 36 In. Large Format Plotter Inkjet Printer if you must print full-width 36-inch sheets. For typical 24-inch office work, the HP DesignJet T210 24-in Large Format Plotter Printer - New Open Box offers a balanced set of features for its price. If the goal is simply the lowest-cost color plotter, the HP DESIGN T100 24 IN LARGE FORMAT COLOR PLOTTER is the one. And if you want an updated 24-inch T630 with 2025 edition features, the New Open Box HP DesignJet T630 24" Printer, 5HB09D#B1K delivers that.
