How Do The Leading Canon Wide-Format Printers Compare For Ink Usage
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerWhen you are on the lookout for the most suitable device for your wide-format printing requirements, it is natural that you will pay close attention to such crucial aspects as the given printer’s design, reliability, print speed, and ease of use. Something else that you may be likely to carefully consider, however, is the extent of your favoured printer’s ink usage.
So, to assist you in your choice, our team at Prizma Graphics decided to provide a quick rundown of the ink usage figures for a range of Canon’s current leading large-format printers. The below numbers are based on the production of a single A1-size print.
The TM-200, TM-300, TX-2100, TX-3100 and TX-4100
Whether you’re in the market for a TM-200 or TM-300 inkjet printer, or you instead have your eye on the highly regarded TX Series, these Canon wide-format printers are highly regarded for their combination of remarkable performance, precision and productivity.
The
ImagePROGRAF TM Series machines, for instance, are noted for being 10% faster
and 60% quieter than the iPF 670 and 770 devices, and even allow for printing
to continue while ink is being changed. The TX Series
printers, too, enable high-volume
production, including through such features as uninterrupted ink tank
replacement, a dual roll option, and enhanced data processing.
As
for the exact cost per page you can expect from the use of these devices, that
varies, as set out in the figures below; the more ink that is used, the higher
the cost per page will be.

Canon’s
ImagePROGRAF PRO Series devices,
too, deliver astounding efficiency without compromising on print quality. This
