Canon imagePROGRAF TX-3200 Dual Roll 36″ Printer 6854C003AA
The Canon imagePROGRAF TX-3200 is a 36-inch, dual-roll, large-format printer built for demanding environments where precision, speed, and flexibility are essential. Ideal for CAD, GIS, poster, and production print applications, it combines Canon’s renowned print quality with industrial-grade reliability and intelligent workflow automation.
High productivity, dual roll convenience
The TX-3200’s dual roll system lets you load two different media types or sizes simultaneously, or double up on the same media for extended production runs. Automatic media switching ensures continuous printing with minimal downtime, perfect for busy studios and print rooms producing mixed A0, A1, and A2 output.
Designed for high productivity, it delivers an A1 print in as little as 21 seconds. Intelligent media handling and automatic roll loading further simplify operation, making roll changes quick, precise, and effortless.
Flexible ink configuration with hot-swap capability
One of the TX-series’ biggest advantages is its versatile ink system. Choose between 130ml, 300ml, and 700ml Lucia TD pigment ink tanks, mix and match sizes across colours to suit your workflow.
Hot-swap functionality allows you to replace inks while the printer continues printing, eliminating downtime and maximising throughput. This capability, combined with the use of all-pigment, water-resistant inks, ensures sharp lines, deep blacks, and vibrant colours that perform equally well indoors and outdoors.
Exceptional print quality and performance
Powered by Canon’s Precision Printing Technology and the PF-06 printhead, the TX-3200 achieves 2400 × 1200 dpi resolution with remarkable accuracy. The five-colour Lucia TD pigment ink set provides excellent fine line reproduction, high optical density, and outstanding weather resistance, making it ideal for CAD drawings, construction plans, maps, and posters.
A built-in multi-sensor automatically calibrates colour and media feed to ensure consistent, repeatable results across print jobs.
Efficient and secure workflow
The TX-3200 includes 2GB of RAM and a 500GB encrypted HDD for secure, high-volume job storage and fast print processing. Native support for HP-GL/2 and PDF files allows seamless integration with CAD and office environments, while the built-in Adobe PostScript 3 option provides enhanced compatibility for complex graphics and PDF workflows.
Printing directly from USB drives or cloud services is quick and convenient. Canon’s intuitive driver and PosterArtist software make it simple to manage media, queue jobs, and monitor ink usage.
Designed for professional environments
The printer’s durable, industrial-inspired build ensures reliable operation even in high-demand print settings. A compact footprint, low noise output (around 44 dB), and front-access design make it ideal for shared office spaces or reprographic environments.
Optional Z36 scanner, transforming into an MFP
For users requiring scanning or copying capability, the TX-3200 can be easily paired with the Canon Z36 dual-light CIS scanner to create a powerful multifunction solution.
This configuration enables high-speed scanning up to 13 inches per second, with excellent image accuracy and minimal shadowing, perfect for digitising drawings, redlines, and documents directly to file, email, or network folders.
