Is this the right printer for you?

Who the WideTEK 36ART 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...

  • Pick this if you digitize paintings, framed art, or canvas up to 200 mm thick.
  • Pick this if 3D texture capture of brush strokes is a real archival requirement.
  • Pick this if contact-free, UV/IR-free LED is required for wet or fragile material.
  • Pick this if your scan area can routinely be up to 36 x 60 inches.
  • Pick this if you're a museum, gallery, or conservator with art digitization budget.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you do mixed art and large flat document work.
  • It's fine if you accept 1.66 ips speed — fidelity over throughput.
  • It's fine if you can store to network share via the touchscreen interface.
  • It's fine if 600 dpi covers your reproduction needs.
  • It's fine if you have the floor space and ceiling clearance for an overhead unit.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need throughput — 1.66 ips is genuinely slow.
  • Skip this if your originals are flat and under 3 mm — the WideTEK 36 saves money.
  • Skip this if you need a printer or MFP — scanner only.
  • Skip this if budget is tight — this is a specialist tool with specialist pricing.
  • Skip this if your originals fit on an A3 flatbed — the 12-600 covers it.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The WideTEK 36ART is an overhead CCD scanner built specifically for fine art: a 36 x 60 inch (914 x 1,524 mm) contact-free workspace, 600 dpi optical color and grayscale resolution, 200 mm (8-inch) document thickness support for canvas, frames, and bulky artifacts, patent-pending 3D texture capture for brush strokes and surface detail, UV/IR-free LED that's safe for wet paintings, motorized focus with 4-inch depth of field, and a 15-inch color touchscreen running on Linux. Scan speed is 1.66 inches per second — slow by design, because it's built for fidelity over throughput. The honest catch: this is a specialist tool for galleries, museums, and conservators — at 1.66 ips it is genuinely slow and will frustrate anyone expecting batch throughput. And the 200 mm depth and 60-inch length come at a price that only makes sense if your work is really paintings, sculpture reliefs, and framed art. For flat documents under 3 mm, the WideTEK 36 covers it for far less.

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.
