So, to helpguide your choice if you are in the market for any of these up-to-the-minuteprinters, what aspects do these devices have in common, and how do they differ?
The TX-3100: a high-speedprinter renowned for its usability and media handling
There aremany features of the Canon ImagePROGRAF TX-3100 that we could point out tocustomers who are thinking of purchasing this machine for the production of CADdocuments and posters.
One of thehandiest characteristics of this printer is its speed; it is capable of up to3.2ppm for A1 CAD drawings, this achievement made partly possible by remarkabledata processing capabilities. Indeed, this is an excellent printer to considerin general if you wish to ensure the most efficient production workflows, dueto such features as its smart media handling system and easy-to-use software.
Furtherensuring that you can count on this printer for high-volume production is theability it gives you to replace ink tanks without the current print job beinginterrupted, as well as the dual roll option. Nor is post-production overlycomplicated or difficult with this device, as it also boasts free-size andthree-side borderless printing functionality.
And in caseyou’re wondering – no, that brisk printing speed and efficiency doesn’t come atthe expense of print quality. One would expect superb print quality from Canonlarge-format printers in any case, but the innovative ink and print processesemployed by the TX-3100 – including the use of durable full-pigment LUCIA TDink – ensure such quality is very much ‘present and correct’ here, too.
