We believe there is no reason to implement a temporary fix as you know it will only last a short time. This would mean multiple instances of downtime, leaving your business waiting – and slowing down the service you provide to your customers.
With this in mind, we offer a long warranty on the work we do for plotter repair. Our competitors only offer a 30-day warranty on parts, but we go above and beyond to ensure you get the best deal. We provide you with the peace of mind of a 6-month warranty on all plotter repair for both parts and labor.
If other plotter repair companies only trust their parts for a month, how good do you think their repairs are? Trust the professional to get the job done right the first time, with repairs that last and give you the confidence to continue using your plotter.

We specialize in repairing the most common DesignJet 500/510 error codes, such as 11:11 trailing cable failure, 21:10 service station failure, 86:01 and carriage belt wear or broken belt, 81:01 error encoder sensor error, error 79:04 carriage jam error, paper path errors and issues with the belt.
While these issues may be common, they require an expert to repair them. The internal workings of plotters of all kinds are complex and you should not attempt to repair them yourself without the proper training. This can lead to further problems and potentially serious damage to the equipment which should be avoided at all costs – accidental damage can put a plotter out of action for an extended period.
All HP DesignJet and plotter repair and service parts are compatible with the only difference being the Design Jet 500 plotter sizes. The difference between Design-Jet 500 24 inch and the 42-inch plotter is the trailing cable, carriage belt, interconnect cable, and encoder strip size.
These DesignJet plotters have different main issues due to the postscript model but they use the same mechanical components. Whichever variant of DesignJet plotter you have, we’re able to repair and maintain it to ensure the maximum benefits of the plotter are always available to your business.
If you want to keep your plotter operational, a regular program of maintenance and cleaning is recommended. Over time, the mechanism can become impeded by dirt or lack of lubrication, ink can dry up, and the final quality of the print may suffer.
Using a plotter for a long time without the appropriate service or cleaning taking place can result in the plotter failing. The printhead may move in an uncontrolled manner, the paper may feed incorrectly, and no ink may reach the paper – or sometimes, too much ink will reach the paper!
Regular and professional maintenance for your plotter will reduce the need for plotter repair and will extend the lifespan of your DesignJet. Maintenance is a lower cost option than repair or replacement of a complete plotter, so it is wise to keep your program of maintenance up to date to get the best output and longest service time from your plotter.
Here’s what the standard Maintenance and Cleaning procedure looks like:
Our Design-Jet 500/510 plotter service technicians are trained to fully troubleshoot your plotter and identify the issues you are facing with ease. They can replace broken belts, clean and replace the ink system, carriage assembly, trailing cable replacement, etc. This means that whatever you need to get your plotter working effectively, our team is capable of getting the result you need.

With a maintenance service for your HP plotter, you’ll find that you can print more easily, quickly, and reliably than before. If your plotter is an important part of your business, make maintenance a regular part or your schedule. Remember that the vast majority of plotter issues can be prevented with regular maintenance, so it should always be a priority.
The DesignJet often shows an indication of the error that is preventing you from printing your work. In most cases, the error is accurate, and we are able to resolve the problem as necessary. However, some DesignJet error codes only show the symptoms and not the cause of the issue. As we have wide experience with a great variety of plotters and printers, it is second nature for us to determine what the root cause of the problem is.
Our training and experience come into play as we can provide a cost-effective solution to the problem, removing the error code, and getting your plotter back online.
Degraded print quality can occur for many reasons. By running a series of tests and physically examining your DesignJet plotter we’ll be able to understand what the cause of the problem is and take action to fix it.
If your DesignJet is making a loud grinding noise, stop using it immediately – continued use could result in severe damage to the printing mechanism. Not all grinding noises are related to this, but the safest option to prevent damage is to hold all print jobs and contact us. We will be with you quickly to diagnose and repair the problem.
We provide Design Jet 500/510, 800/815, 5500/5550, 1050C/1055CM plotter repair with these error codes:
These errors can occur at any time and often become more common as your plotter gets older. While maintenance can help to delay the onset of certain issues, there will come a time when you need DesignJet and plotter repair.
Fortunately, we have the skills, experience, and parts needed to make this a painless process. Our professional and reliable team is ready to get your plotting working again, keeping your business running, and always putting your needs first.
