HP DesignJet T1700 44-in Printer

My printer can only print on a roll with core of around 50mm. I have lots of paper rolls, such as Backlight DPI that I want to print on but the paper roll is core 76. How can I adapt to enable me to use the rolls with that type of core.

 

Thank you very much.

Looks like you need a couple spindle adapters:  https://www.provantage.com/hp-cn538a~7HEWE1M2.htm

 

Those are just a sample found with the google machine.  You may have to do some research to find the ones that are specific to your printer.  I'd start by looking at the printer manual document that should've come with your printer.  They usually list accessories in the back.  If you can find the part number, plug it into google to see what's out there.  They're not very expensive.  Ebay is another place to look.  Double check part numbers to be sure you're getting a set that fits your spindle.

 

Also, check the manual to be sure the diameter of the roll will fit into the printer.  They should give a spec that will tell you.  

 

*Just looked up the manual and it give a part number of CN538A.  Quick search showed some on Amazon right now:
