Overview

About the imagePROGRAF TX-3200

The imagePROGRAF TX-3200 is the 36-inch model in Canon's TX production series, sized for offices that live on ARCH D and ANSI D output. It prints up to 3.3 D-size pages a minute — 199 an hour — from a single front-loading roll, ships with 160 ml color tanks and a 330 ml matte black, and can be configured as the TX-3200 MFP Z36 with a 36-inch scanner mounted on top for scan, copy, and share.

The LUCIA TD 5-color pigment ink system, with its newly developed magenta, produces sharp text and fine lines for CAD and AEC documentation and strong reds for posters and signage. Pigment ink resists fading and gives water resistance for outdoor use. Built-in color calibration keeps output consistent over time and across multiple TX-3200 and TX-4200 printers, and intelligent media handling finds the leading edge, feeds the roll, and detects media type, length, and width automatically — loading is about 34 percent faster than the previous generation.

The compact body uses semi-translucent ink and media covers, an intuitive touchscreen that shows ink, sub-tank, and media levels, and user-installable printheads, maintenance cartridges, and hot-swap ink tanks. The optional Multifunction Roll System works as a second roll or a take-up reel for continuous production. Security includes PIN printing, a self-encrypting 500 GB hard drive, and the ability to disable USB and Ethernet ports. The TX Series is EPEAT Gold registered and ENERGY STAR certified.

Key features

What it does well

  • Up to 3.3 D-size prints a minute

    Up to 199 ANSI D prints an hour in Fast Q5 mode, with media loading about 34 percent quicker than the previous TX models.

  • LUCIA TD 5-color pigment ink

    Matte black, black, cyan, magenta, and yellow pigment inks with a newly developed magenta for strong red reproduction. Improved image processing sharpens CAD lines, blueprints, and poster text.

  • Optional Multifunction Roll System

    The RU-32 roll unit mounts below the printer and works either as a second media roll or as a take-up reel for long, unattended production runs.

  • Intelligent media handling

    Load a roll and the printer finds the leading edge, feeds it, and detects media type, length, and width, showing everything on the touchscreen alongside ink and sub-tank levels.

  • Optional Z36 scanner for scan, copy, and share

    The TX-3200 MFP Z36 mounts a 36-inch CIS scanner on the printer with a 15.6-inch SmartWorks controller: up to 13 inches per second monochrome, 6 inches per second color copy, and 1200 dpi optical.

  • Security for confidential drawings

    PIN printing, a self-encrypting 500 GB hard drive, and the ability to disable the USB port, Ethernet port, and USB thumb-drive printing.

  • EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR

    Registered EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR certified, with cardboard packaging in place of EPS foam and reduced power consumption.

Included with every system

What comes with it when you buy from ABC

The imagePROGRAF TX-3200 is the same everywhere. What's different is the 44 years of local service behind it.

  • Delivery, setup, and network install

    We deliver, unbox, place, and connect the device to your network and every workstation that needs it. You print the first page before we leave.

  • On-site training for your team

    A Canon-certified technician walks your staff through the panel, scanning workflows, and the everyday things that generate service calls when nobody explains them.

  • Genuine Canon toner, auto-shipped

    Supplies ship before you run out, based on your device's own meter readings. Genuine Canon consumables only, so your warranty and image quality stay intact.

  • Same-day service standard

    Local technicians dispatched from our office in Old Hickory, not a national ticket queue. Average response is under four hours.

  • Plain-language agreements

    Lease, rent, or buy. Separate color and mono cost-per-page, no hidden escalators, and a person who answers questions about the contract by name.

  • One dedicated account manager

    The same person from proposal through the life of the system. They know your account, your volumes, and when it's time to talk about what's next.
