This is where we would like to present acomparison between two of the highest-rated machines to have recently beenintroduced in this category – the Canon TX-3100 and HP DesignJet T1600dr.
Two printers thatconsistently deliver the most impressive results
These Canon and HP large-format printers are bothdevices that you can rely on to print both quickly, and to the higheststandards.
The Canon ImagePROGRAF TX-3100,for instance, is a frequently chosen machine for the printing of posters andCAD drawings; it is easy to use, enables free-size borderless printing, andincorporates a smart media handling system, with software that supports themost efficient production workflows. With its printing speed of up to 3.2ppmfor A1 CAD drawings, this is a device you can depend on to help get those essentialprojects done.
However, the HP DesignJet T1600dr PostScriptPrinter is also no slouch in these stakes. As with the Canon printer, this HPmodel prioritises ease of use, as partly made possible by HP’s own Clicksoftware. It is a superb 36-inch printer for the swift production of maps,technical drawings, posters and renders, capable of working with media as thickas 0.5mm, and prints impressively detailed A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 pages. Aprinting speed of up to 19.3 seconds per page is possible, whether you printcolour or mono.
Remarkable efficiency,attention to detail, and security
Whether you choose the HP or Canon model, you canbe sure of benefitting from the greatest technological refinement, reliabilityand security.
The HP device, for instance, is a quiet printerthat boasts 128GB of RAM and 500GB of self-encrypting hard disk. It sportsthermal inkjet technology that yields prints with a resolution of as much as2400 x 1200dpi; there is also a dual roll feed to keep the print speed high,and smart connectivity that allows for printing via your smartphone, USB,shared network folder or cloud storage.

As for if it’s the Canon machine that you select,you’re sure to be wooed by its high-volume production capabilities, as ensuredin great part by enhanced data processing, uninterrupted ink tank replacement,and a dual roll option. The TX-3100 uses full pigment LUCIA TD ink to ensurethe final prints are highly durable, and innovative processes mean you canexpect the remarkable ink quality for which Canon has always been known; again,a 2400 x 1200dpi print resolution is assured.
