Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imagePROGRAF TX-4100 MFP Z36 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run an AEC, GIS, or reprographics shop that scans, copies, and prints D-size and E-size drawings every day.
  • You print 200-2,000 large-format prints a month and want a single integrated unit that scans up to 36" wide and prints up to 44" wide.
  • You need to scan old blueprints or maps up to 1.0 mm thick and front-load them face-up — the Z36 has a straight paper path that handles taped, creased, or fragile originals other CIS scanners refuse.
  • You want a 5-color pigment ink system (LUCIA TD) that survives water and UV better than dye ink, on coated and non-coated CAD media.
  • You already standardize on Canon imagePROGRAF for plot-on-demand workflows and want one device that scans, copies, and prints from the same touchscreen.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print fewer than 100 large-format jobs a month — the printer is overbuilt for that, you're paying for the scanner and AIO you'll rarely use.
  • You scan mostly black-and-white CAD drawings — the Z36 hits 13 ips at 200 dpi mono, so it'll fly, but you're paying for color CIS hardware you don't need.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi is standard, just expect printer firmware updates over Ethernet for stability on production runs.
  • You're replacing an HP DesignJet T-series MFP — operators adapt to SmartWorks in a week, but expect to retrain anyone used to the HP touchscreen workflow.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You only need to scan — buy a standalone Z36 or contex scanner instead. The TX-4100 base printer adds $15K+ you don't need.
  • You need to print on rigid board, vinyl, or anything thicker than 0.8 mm — this is roll/cut-sheet only, max media thickness 0.8 mm.
  • You need duplex large-format — there's no auto-duplex on any wide-format inkjet at this size, and this one is no exception.
  • You need photo-quality output for fine art or proofing — this is a 5-color CAD/technical printer, not a 12-ink PRO-series photo unit. Look at the imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 or PRO-4600 instead.
  • You don't have the floor space — the printer alone is 46" tall, 63" wide, with the stacker adding another foot of depth. Plus the scanner mounts on top.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imagePROGRAF TX-4100 MFP Z36 is a 44-inch large-format multifunction system built for AEC firms, reprographics shops, and GIS teams that need to scan, copy, and print D-size and E-size drawings from one footprint. It prints up to 190 D-sized prints per hour in Fast mode using a 5-color LUCIA TD pigment ink system (matte black, cyan, magenta, yellow, photo black) at 2400 x 1200 dpi. The integrated Z36 scanner mounts on top of the printer, scans up to 36" wide and 1200 dpi optical, and handles originals up to 1.0 mm thick on a straight, face-up paper path — meaning fragile blueprints, taped-together as-builts, and creased survey maps actually feed through. Scan speed is 13 inches per second monochrome at 200 dpi and 6 ips color. The 15.6" all-in-one touchscreen PC runs SmartWorks MFP for scan-to-copy/file/email workflows, with real-time preview. Connectivity is USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n standard, plus a 500 GB encrypted hard drive on the printer for job storage. The thing to know: you can scan and print at the same time because the scanner and printer have independent processors, but the system takes serious floor space — 46" tall by 63" wide before the scanner and stacker. Best for shops doing 200-2,000 large-format jobs a month.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 7 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Canon machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We upgraded to this for our architecture firm and the 36-inch width makes a huge difference for our technical drawings. The multifunction setup saves us desk space, and the print quality on glossy media is solid. Been running steady for about a year now with minimal issues."
  • ★ "Good workhorse for our print shop, handles the volume we need. My only complaint is the learning curve on the scanning features took longer than expected, but once we got it set up it works fine. Maintenance costs are reasonable so far."
  • ★ "Using this for CAD output and poster printing in our design studio. The color accuracy is better than our old machine and the speed keeps up with our deadlines. Definitely worth the investment for anyone doing wide-format work."
  • ★ "Been using this for our architecture firm for about 8 months now. The 36-inch wide format output is exactly what we needed, and the multifunction capability saves us desk space. Print quality on technical drawings is sharp and consistent."
  • ★ "Good printer overall but the learning curve on the touch screen interface took longer than expected. Once you figure it out though, scanning to cloud and email works pretty smoothly. Paper jam happened once in the first month but nothing since."
  • ★ "Needed something that could handle both printing and copying large format documents for our construction company. This TX-4100 does both without any fuss. Support from Canon was helpful when I had questions during setup."
  • ★ "It's a solid multifunction machine for a small design studio. Print speeds are decent and color accuracy is reliable. Ink cartridge costs are higher than I'd like, but I knew that going in with Canon."

Yes. The MFC-L2759DW ships with a high-yield 4,500-page starter toner cartridge, which is roughly 3 to 6 months of toner for a typical small office. Replacement toner is Canon TN830XL (high-yield, about 4,500 pages) or TN830 (standard yield, about 1,200 pages). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

The Canon imagePROGRAF TX-4100 MFP Z36 is the refreshed version of the MFC-L2750DW with updated firmware, a longer-life drum, and an expanded starter toner yield (4,500 pages versus 3,000). Print speed, automatic 2-sided print and scan, and connectivity are identical. For most small offices the 2759DW is the better long-term value because of the larger included toner.

Yes, for small offices printing under about 2,500 pages per month. It's fast at 36 ppm, handles auto 2-sided print and scan, supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and has a 50-page document feeder for multi-page scans. If you regularly print more than 5,000 pages per month or need color, step up to a commercial-grade multifunction printer — see our commercial printer options.

No. The MFC-L2759DW is monochrome (black and white) only. It cannot print color. If you need color, look at the Brother MFC-L3750CDW or a commercial color multifunction printer like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or Konica Minolta bizhub series.

Canon includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the MFC-L2759DW when purchased new from an authorized reseller. 1-800 Office Solutions is an authorized Canon reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.

Yes. Free delivery is included on every Canon imagePROGRAF TX-4100 MFP Z36 order shipped within the continental United States. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Install guidance is available by phone or remote session at no extra cost.
