36-inch five-colour large-format printer
The Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30 is a 36-inch inkjet printer built for large-format output. It uses five pigment ink tanks to produce prints at up to 2400 x 1200 dpi in both black and colour. The unit suits architects, engineers and graphics professionals who need precise line work and solid colour fills on wide media.
Roll and cut-sheet handling with wired
Media rolls up to 5.9 inches in diameter and cut sheets from 8 to 17 inches wide feed through the same path, while borderless printing spans the full 36-inch width. A Gigabit Ethernet port and IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN give flexible network placement, and a USB port allows direct local connection. Operational noise sits at 42 dB(A), dropping to 35 dB(A) or less in standby.
Replaces narrower or four-colour wide-format devices
Moving up from a 24-inch or four-colour printer adds the extra matte black channel for deeper blacks on uncoated paper and extends the printable width to 36 inches. The jump is worthwhile when projects regularly demand full-bleed A0 or ARCH E sheets, or when the matte black ink improves contrast on bond and coated media.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum wireless standard supported by the TA-30, and what real-world speed does it cap at?
The printer uses IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN; the 802.11n link rate caps practical throughput well below the 1000 Mbps available on the wired RJ45 port.
What roll diameter and media width must the stand or shelf accommodate for this 36-inch model?
The TA-30 accepts rolls up to 5.9 inches (150 mm) in diameter and 36 inches wide, so the mounting surface must clear at least that width and depth.
How are the five PFI-030 ink tanks installed, and which step do users often miss?
Open the top cover, insert each 55 ml tank into its colour-coded slot until it clicks, then run the initial ink-charge routine from the control panel — skipping the charge leaves the print head unprimed.
