imagePROGRAF TX-3300 / TX-3310 MFP Z36

The imagePROGRAF TX-3300 is the 36-inch production model in Canon's TX Series, built for businesses that print line drawings, renderings, and posters in volume. It comes in two versions. The TX-3300 is a printer. The TX-3310 MFP Z36 pairs the same printer with Canon's high-volume Z36 scanner and SmartWorks MFP software on a 15.6-inch touchscreen all-in-one PC, mounted on an MFP stand. Both print up to 3.3 D-size pages a minute, and both are sold with either the TX Stacker, which holds up to 100 D-size sheets of plain paper, or a multi-positional flat stacking basket.

The five-color LUCIA TD pigment ink set includes an updated Matte Black for crisper lines, sharper text, and vibrant posters on plain paper. The printer ships with a 330 ml Matte Black and 160 ml colors, and you can mix and match 160, 330, and 700 ml replacement tanks to suit your volume; gravity-fed sub tanks use virtually every drop and can be changed while printing. Canon's L-COA PRO controller keeps large files moving, non-firing nozzle detection and compensation protects line quality, and lines are accurate to ±0.1% down to a 0.02 mm minimum weight. Intelligent media handling finds the leading edge and feeds the roll for you, and the optional RU-34 Multifunction Roll Unit adds a second roll or a take-up reel.

On the TX-3310 MFP Z36, the Z36 scans originals up to 38 inches wide and 1 mm thick at up to 1,200 dpi, at up to 13 inches per second in monochrome and 3 in color, and copies in color at 6 inches per second. SmartWorks MFP handles scan to copy, file, and email in TIFF, JPEG, and PDF, with a real-time image viewer for deskewing, cropping, and brightness adjustments before printing. Both versions have a 256 GB encrypted hard drive with secure erase, plus Secure Boot, TLS 1.3, SNMPv3, 802.1X, a secure event log, pattern printing, and PIN code authorization.

The imagePROGRAF TX-3300 is for offices and print rooms that print 36-inch drawings and signage all day: architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing design teams, government agencies, universities, and professional print shops. Its 700 ml tank option, TX Stacker, and optional second roll are what set it apart from the TM Series, so it can run long sets with fewer interruptions.

Choose the TX-3310 MFP Z36 if your team also scans and copies drawings; it adds the Z36 scanner and SmartWorks to the same printer. If you print at mid volume and want scanning in a smaller system, the TX-1300 MFP Z36 uses 130 and 300 ml tanks with a single roll. If you need 44-inch output, the TX-4300 series is the same design wider, and if you want two rolls as standard and up to 4 D-size prints a minute, look at the TZ-32000.
