Wide Format Printer Ink for CAD, GIS & Graphics

Wide format printer ink is the heart of your HP DesignJet or other aqueous printers. When you choose the right original cartridges, you get consistent color, predictable drying, and fewer interruptions in the middle of critical jobs. This Inks category at Paragon Visual brings together OEM supplies for CAD, GIS, photo, and graphics work, so you can match ink sets to your printers with confidence.

We work every day with architects, engineers, schools, print providers, and in-plant print rooms that rely on their wide format printers. Because of that, we focus on original ink supplies that are designed for each printer family, rather than generic alternatives. That helps protect your printheads, maintain warranty coverage, and keep output quality stable across entire projects instead of drifting over time.

Why Buy Wide Format Ink from Paragon Visual?

• Matched to your printer: We stock ink cartridges and printheads that are made for specific HP DesignJet models, so you are not guessing which part number is correct.
• Consistent print quality: Original cartridges are formulated to work with your printer’s printhead technology and media types, which helps reduce banding and color shifts.
• Support from a real service team: If you are seeing image quality issues, our team can help troubleshoot whether it is ink, media, or a service-related problem.
• Focused on wide format: Inks and supplies in this category are chosen for large-format CAD, GIS, and graphics workflows, not just small desktop printers.

Ink Types in This Category

• Dye-based aqueous inks: Often used in CAD and office-focused HP DesignJet printers for fast, economical line work and internal color graphics.
• Pigment-based aqueous inks: Designed for photo and graphics printers where fade resistance, water resistance, and long-term image stability matter.
• Specialized colors and gray inks: Extra colors, grays, and photo blacks that help expand gamut and smooth gradients in photo and presentation work.
• Original printheads and maintenance supplies: Components that keep nozzles firing correctly and support consistent output over the life of the printer.

Matching Ink to Your Work

• CAD, GIS & technical: For plans, check plots, and maps, look for ink sets designed for crisp lines, fast drying, and reliable performance on bond and coated papers.
• Photo and graphics: For posters, photo enlargements, and décor, focus on pigment-based ink sets paired with photo, canvas, or specialty media.
• Mixed environments: If you run both drawings and color graphics on the same device, we can help you choose an ink and media combination that balances quality and cost.
