Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Hewlett Packard's CP1700D Inkjet printer was designed with small offices and design houses in mind. Featuring high-quality wide-format color printing, the CP1700D can quickly deliver cost-effective color documents, proofs, collateral, and comps on a wide variety of media.

Print black text at a clear 1200 x 1200 dpi, and with HP's Photoret III color layering technology, enhance color prints up to 2400 x 1200 dpi on photo paper. Add to this the CP1700D's quick 16 ppm black and 14.5 ppm color printing, publishing large projects is a simple feat.

Media options abound as well. The CP1700D is able to print on a wide variety of media types, including plain paper, transparencies, and thick card stock up to 72 pounds. Print on sizes from 4 x 6 inch postcards to 13 x 50 inch banners. Two-sided printing is standard on the CP1700D, and a host of optional accessories are available, including a second 250-sheet input tray, Adobe PostScript 3 RIP software, and network connectivity.

The CP1700D is a cost effective solution for your printing needs. Each ink color is stored in its own separate high-volume ink cartridge, when one color is out, only replace that one cartridge. There is no more need to throw out an entire color cartridge simply because there is no more blue ink.

Ease of use is also paramount with the CP1700D. It is compatible with a host of connectivity options, including USB and parallel connections, front connect infrared, optional network capability. A built-in media size sensor (up to 13 x 19 inches only) recognizes media in use and automatically selects the appropriate settings.

2.0 out of 5 stars good if it works, but beware of the ink cartridge scam, October 26, 2004

By	Ron Barker (Netherlands) - See all my reviews

I bought it some time ago, for a small home business. The idea of being able to print large doublesided sheets automatically, with a separate tank for each colour made it the ideal machine for me.
Or at least so I thought. Printing doublesided is not so automatical as I expected. It sometimes needs some manual work (could be a software problem, not sure) to save many sheets going to waste. And the built in "safety" against using out of date cartridges, regardless of the quantity (sometimes 60%) of ink still available made me decide to dump it. There seems to be NO solution when the printer simply refuses to print any longer with one or more out of date cartridges. I have to go out and buy new HP ones. I think it is a scam and HP should be in a law suit over this. They should leave the decision to throw 60 % full ink cartridges away to me, the customer, not to them. Had they put a warning on the package or in their review of the machine about this I would not have bought it.
It is a shame. I have been a loyal customer to HP printers since the early 90's, but no more HP for me. There must be other companies that make good printers without this stinking ink policy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Built to a price unfortunately, June 10, 2004

By	R. Robson "Dick Robespierre" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this printer as a replacement for a 1220C non duplex printer as duplexing has become a must for our company. I have had this product for 2 years and probably run no more than 200 sheets of paper through it. The quality is superb when it works. It has now developed a fault which makes it as good as useless as it requires a replacement part which I understand would cost almost as much as the printer if I could actually get it. Looking on the HP web-site forums I note that this particular problem appears to be rather too common for this make of printer. I cannot recommend it and suggest you look elsewhere. Shame, as I really rate HP printers
I will be junking it

1.0 out of 5 stars Thrashes and jams!, June 25, 2005

By	P. J. Simons "Phil" (Waukesha, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this unit to replace a 1220C that was short lived but adequete. Life was beautiful for about 2 weeks. Then the unit jammed. After clearing the jam, I got a message that the black print head needed to be replaced. I scrambled to get the part, and ran for another week. I went through this for another 6 months, and finally shut the unit off. (It was that or throw it through the window) I thought HP printers were the benchmark for the competition, but that was a misplaced loyalty. I'm now sending my large format file out for printing, and am really hesitant to buy another printer. (Never another hp inkjet) Perhaps an old 4MV??
