Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30 36-inch 5-color inkjet printer 3661C002

36-inch five-colour large-format printer

The Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30 is a 36-inch inkjet printer built for large-format output. It uses five pigment ink tanks to produce prints at up to 2400 x 1200 dpi in both black and colour. The unit suits architects, engineers and graphics professionals who need precise line work and solid colour fills on wide media.

Roll and cut-sheet handling with wired

Media rolls up to 5.9 inches in diameter and cut sheets from 8 to 17 inches wide feed through the same path, while borderless printing spans the full 36-inch width. A Gigabit Ethernet port and IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN give flexible network placement, and a USB port allows direct local connection. Operational noise sits at 42 dB(A), dropping to 35 dB(A) or less in standby.

Replaces narrower or four-colour wide-format devices

Moving up from a 24-inch or four-colour printer adds the extra matte black channel for deeper blacks on uncoated paper and extends the printable width to 36 inches. The jump is worthwhile when projects regularly demand full-bleed A0 or ARCH E sheets, or when the matte black ink improves contrast on bond and coated media.
