NEW Plus Edition | Build Connected
One of the most important developments in the latest HP DesignJet T2600 Plus Edition is Build Connected functionality.
The printer is designed to connect physical paper drawings with HP's cloud-based HP Build Workspace environment.
Paper plans can be scanned directly from the T2600 front panel into HP Build Workspace, helping project teams move drawings between physical and digital workflows more efficiently.
This is particularly valuable for architecture, engineering and construction environments where both printed plans and digital project files remain part of everyday operations.
Connect Paper Drawings to the Cloud
The integrated scanner becomes more than a conventional copying device when combined with HP Build Workspace.
Users can scan paper drawings directly into a connected cloud workflow, helping create a digital source that can be accessed and shared by project teams.
This can help organisations:
- Digitise existing paper drawings
- Share plans with project teams
- Reduce reliance on physical archives
- Improve access to project information
- Connect office and site-based workflows
- Move legacy drawings into modern digital processes
For businesses with years of archived paper plans, this provides an efficient pathway between existing documentation and modern cloud-based project management.
QR-Linked Drawing Version Control
Construction and engineering projects frequently go through multiple drawing revisions.
The T2600 Plus Edition's connection with HP Build Workspace supports workflows designed to help teams determine whether a printed drawing corresponds with the latest digital version.
QR-linked version control can help connect a physical print with its corresponding digital project information.
This is particularly useful on construction sites, where outdated plans can create confusion, rework and unnecessary project costs.
Scan Paper Drawings into CAD-Ready Workflows
Another important capability of the Build Connected platform is scan-to-vectorisation.
Scanned paper drawings can be converted through HP's AI-enabled workflow into vectorised files suitable for further CAD-related work.
For organisations that regularly need to recreate older paper drawings digitally, this can significantly reduce the amount of manual redrawing required.
Applications include:
- Converting archived plans into digital drawings
- Recreating legacy architectural plans
- Digitising construction drawings
- Updating older engineering documentation
- Creating editable digital information from paper originals
This makes the T2600 Plus Edition particularly attractive to architectural, engineering and construction organisations maintaining large archives of historical plans.
High-Speed Printing – Up to 180 A1 Prints Per Hour
The HP DesignJet T2600 is engineered for demanding professional workgroups.
It can produce an A1 drawing in as little as 19.3 seconds, with productivity of up to 180 A1 prints per hour.
This high-speed performance makes it ideal for producing complete drawing sets where turnaround time is critical.
Whether you're printing one construction drawing or an entire project package, the T2600 is designed to keep production moving.
