- Based on competitive analysis of connected functionality across similar MFPs in this class, April 2026.
- Based on published product specifications, the HP DesignJet T2600 MFP Plus Edition | Build Connected can scan directly to HP Build Workspace with vectorization capability. In comparison, the Canon imagePROGRAF TX-3200 can scan to the cloud but does not support vectorization, while the Epson SureColor T5770DM supports neither cloud scanning nor vectorization. HP internal evaluations estimate time savings based on pilot studies using more than 1,000 customer drawings. The comparison measures drafting effort using the solution versus manual drafting. Actual savings may vary due to factors such as drawing complexity and image quality.
- HP Build Workspace is the first solution to offer cloud-based AI vectorization to convert raster drawings into working CAD files, specifically designed for architects. AutoCAD is software not owned by HP. HP AI Vectorization and HP Build Workspace do not include any license to AutoCAD.
