Canon TX-3100 printer
The Next Standard of Engineering.

The 36-inch TX-3100 large-format printer has been upgraded with faster printing speeds, an enhanced automatic roll loading function, and free-size borderless printing to improve productivity and efficiency. Preprocessing technology between pages and a faster cutter speed help to achieve printing speeds up to 3.2 ppm (plain paper, drawings) during continuous printing.

The 36” Canon imagePROGRAF TX Series printers include 5-color Lucia TD pigment ink, Automatic media loading, TX Stacker and a sub-ink tank system. They can hold thicker media rolls, large ink tanks and can stack up to 100 D size sheets in front of the printer. These printers satisfy the needs of the high-volume CAD and low-volume LED plotter markets with print quality, usability, security, and print speeds up to 190 D-sized prints per hour.

In addition, there is a host of creative workflow software included. Newly developed for this series is Free Layout Plus, a print utility that allows users to tile nest and create custom layouts before printing. Direct Print & Share, Canon's cloud portal software, has new added features as does Canon's poster creation software, PosterArtist Lite making this printer an easy choice for the architectural, engineering and construction industries as well as office environments.


Canon TX-3100
36 Inch Large Format Printer

The core technologies of the imagePROGRAF TX Series printers include the ink system, (up to 700 ml catridges) the print head, and the mechanical platform. These printers satisfy the needs of the high-volume CAD and low-volume LED plotter markets with print quality, usability, security, and print speeds up to 190 D-sized prints per hour. The TX-4100 has these same features and will print up to 44 inches wide.

Document Catch Options

The roll away flat TX Stacker provides the capability to neatly stack up to 100 Arch D plain paper prints. When not needed, the TX Stacker can be rolled away or folded for a smaller printer footprint.

The multi-positional Catch Basket can be freely adjusted to enable various output positions and options:

  • Catch Basket
  • Flatbed Stacking
  • Slope (can be used to display a print)

500 GB Hard Drive

A built-in 500GB hard drive within the printer can increase productivity by relieving workload from the host computer, while providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval.

Print from USB Drive

JPEG and PDF files can be directly printed from the TX-Series. Simply load your files onto your USB drive, step right up to the printer and plug your USB drive into the port.

LUCIA TD Pigment Ink Set

The TX Series printer features a 5-color Lucia TD pigment ink set. This ink was formulated to produce fine lines and sharp text on both inkjet and non-inkjet paper. Combine this pigment ink with water resistant media and you have a printed drawing that can withstand many outdoor conditions, especially outdoor job sites such as construction sites. Available in 160 ml / 330 ml /700 ml ink tanks. A total of 970 ml of ink ships standard with the TX-3100.

Print Head PF-06

The 6-channel PF-06 Print Head is engineered to work with the printer's high-speed carriage and high-frequency ink ejection to help facilitate fast printing. This printer boasts Canon's print-head technology that lays down ink with outstanding speed and accuracy. The PF-06 print head incorporates a nozzle orifice shape to help minimize mist spray, producing clean lines and text. The high-precision, high-density print head, with a total of 15,360 nozzles, lays down 5 picoliter-size ink droplets that help produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The result is consistently accurate 2400 x 1200 dpi output (max.) with fine lines that are accurate to ±0.10% and as thin as 0.02mm.

Borderless Printing

The TX-3100 supports borderless printing on all roll widths and custom widths as well as three sized borderless printing for a reduction in paper trimming.

Operation Panel

A large size 4.3" LCD touch screen has been integrated into the TX-3100. The large and more vibrant screen displays information such as remaining ink levels. The operation guide can easily be displayed from this screen and be scanned with a smartphone to access a library of information on how to replace consumables.

Intelligent Media Handling

The Intelligent Media Handling feature allows the user to simply place a roll in the opened drawer and slide in the media from the front of the printer with ease. The printer automatically detects media type, width, and length, for simplified user handling.

Wi-Fi Compatible3

Printing jobs quickly is critical on the work site and in the office. The Wi-Fi connectivity can transfer technical drawing files and help speed up your workflow - perfect for high-volume printing. No Wi-Fi router is needed, which can provide greater freedom during installation.

Large and Multi-Roll Capable

The TX Series can handle rolls up to 6.7", which could be a 650' roll. The optional Multifunction Roll System is a versatile media handling solution system that enables either a second roll of media to be loaded on the printer, or can be configured as a bi-directional media take-up unit. The optional second roll unit allows for the instant switching between different media types or the use of two rolls of the same paper for up to 190 D-sized prints per hour. As a take-up unit the operator can choose to use this option to rewind longer printouts, with the print surface on the outside or on the inside of the roll.

Sub Ink Tank System

The Sub-Ink Tank System allows virtually all of the available ink in a tank to be used before having to replace it, helping to eliminate wasted ink. The empty tanks can also be replaced on-the-fly without stopping the printer. This is extremely useful during your long print jobs.
