Differences between the 500/510/800:

As specialists repair experts, understanding the differences between the three machines helps to determine the possible problems and errors codes. All 3 machines are based on the same platform which is HP’s entry level large format printer model.

The 500 is the standard model designed for all CAD work but with excellent graphics capabilities so suitable for printing architectural/engineering plans primarily.

The 510 is the latest version of the 500 but with extra memory and better compatibility with today’s software so suitable for both architects and graphics.

The 800 is predominately a graphics machine due to it’s 6gb standard hard drive suitable for printing large graphic plot files but is more than capable of producing CAD work.
