Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Oce ColorWave 300 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 print 100 to 400 plots monthly that need waterproof field handling.
  • You work in AEC, GIS, or reprographics with 36-inch roll output.
  • You need instant-dry plots that don't require lamination.
  • You have one or two CAD users feeding the plotter.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 50 to 100 plots monthly with growth.
  • You'd use scan-to-folder for archiving large originals.
  • You need touch-panel direct print from USB.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 500 plots monthly, the ColorWave 500/600 fits.
  • You need photo-quality renderings, choose aqueous inkjet.
  • You print under 30 plots monthly, lease access from a service.
  • You need duplex on plots, wide-format is single-sided.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Oce ColorWave 300 is the entry to Canon Production Print's ColorWave wide-format MFP line, 3 ppm color and 3 ppm B&W at A1 with TonerPearl crystal toner technology that delivers genuinely waterproof, instant-dry output. Built for AEC firms, GIS departments, and reprographics shops doing 100 to 400 plots monthly on 24-inch or 36-inch rolls. Resolution 600x1200 dpi enhanced via TonerPearl, scan width up to 36 inches at 600 dpi, single-roll feeder standard with optional second roll. Touch panel for scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, and direct print from USB. The TonerPearl technology is the differentiator versus aqueous inkjet, plots come out dry, won't smudge in field conditions, and don't need lamination for outdoor use. The buyer regret on the ColorWave 300 is spec'ing it as a primary plotter for a busy CAD shop, the 3 ppm rating means you wait roughly 10 minutes per A1 color plot and a 20-plot batch ties up the engine for half a workday. ColorWave 300 is right when plot volume is genuinely under 400 monthly. Heavier shops should look at the ColorWave 500 or higher.

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.

FAQ

Oce ColorWave 300, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Oce ColorWave 300 ships with a starter set of TonerPearl ink cartridges, including high-yield black (400ml) and color (350ml each for cyan, magenta, and yellow). These cartridges are designed for high-volume technical document printing. Replacement cartridges are available in the same high-yield capacities. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Oce ColorWave 300 is a wide-format MFP designed for AEC firms and reprographics shops, offering 3 ppm color and B&W printing on rolls up to 36 inches wide. In contrast, the Canon Arizona 1240 GT is a flatbed UV-curable inkjet printer for sign shops and industrial applications, printing on rigid substrates up to 49.6 x 98.8 inches. The ColorWave 300 uses TonerPearl technology for waterproof, instant-dry output, while the Arizona 1240 GT uses UV-curable inks for direct printing on materials like wood, glass, and acrylic. For small offices, the ColorWave 300 is more suitable for technical document printing, whereas the Arizona 1240 GT is geared toward large-format graphics and industrial use.
The Oce ColorWave 300 is ideal for small businesses like AEC firms or GIS departments with monthly plot volumes under 400, thanks to its 3 ppm speed and 24-inch or 36-inch roll support. However, its slow speed (10 minutes per A1 color plot) may not suit busier environments. If your business requires higher volume or faster output, consider stepping up to a commercial option like the ColorWave 500.
Yes, the Oce ColorWave 300 supports full-color printing using TonerPearl technology, delivering waterproof, instant-dry output at 600x1200 dpi resolution.
