HP DesignJet Security - Stay Safe with HP – 5 March 2021

With an ever increasing focus on network security and organisations significantly increasing investment in preventing cyber attacks it's essential that all your connected devices are secure. It's easy to overlook the obvious and these are the things that hackers target - from wi-fi connected air conditioning units or old printers.

Wide-format plotters are often overlooked as typically they are mechanically reliable and more often than not have extended lifetimes over that of A4/A3 printers as such older devices present a potential network risk, with this in mind the HP DesignJet Security guide provides an insight to the Free of charge security elements integrated in to a selected range of New HP DesignJet Plotters & Graphics Printers starting from the T730 CAD Plotter upwards in the DesignJet technical range including the XL 3600 and also the Z6 / Z9 Graphic Arts & Photo Printers.

The comparison table on page 3 details the differences between enterprise level printers / large format MFD's and entry level T730 / T830, for a relatively low additional investment in a T1600 for example IT managers are able to implement a higher level of security protocol simply by investing a little further up in the range for only a small additional investment which is inevitably recouped quickly via reduced ink cost.
