Canon TX-3100 MFP Supplies FAQ
What ink cartridges does the Canon TX-3100 MFP use?
The Canon TX-3100 uses five LUCIA TD pigment ink cartridges: Matte Black (MBK), Black (BK), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), and Yellow (Y). You can choose between PFI-310 (330ml) standard capacity or PFI-710 (700ml) high-capacity cartridges. The high-capacity option reduces cost per print by approximately 18% and is ideal for offices printing over 75 sheets weekly.
How does the TX-3100's dual-black ink system improve print quality?
The TX-3100's dual-black system uses Matte Black (MBK) for superior line definition on plain and matte papers, essential for CAD drawings where precision matters. Black (BK) ink optimizes density on coated and glossy media for presentations and posters. The printer automatically selects the appropriate black based on your media type setting, eliminating manual switching and ensuring optimal output quality.
What's the typical lifespan of the MC-30 maintenance tank?
The MC-30 maintenance tank collects waste ink during cleaning cycles and typically lasts 12-18 months. Heavy users running daily nozzle checks may need replacement every 6-10 months. Your TX-3100 displays remaining capacity on the maintenance screen. Keep a spare MC-30 on hand—the printer stops operating when the tank reaches capacity to prevent overflow.
Can I use third-party inks in my Canon TX-3100 to save money?
While third-party inks may seem economical, they pose significant risks to your TX-3100 MFP investment. Non-OEM inks can cause print head clogs requiring $900+ repairs, color accuracy issues affecting professional credibility, scanner mechanism contamination from ink overspray, and immediate warranty voiding. The 10-15% savings rarely offset potential repair costs and downtime. Protect your MFP with genuine Canon supplies.
How do I calculate ink costs for project budgeting?
For accurate project costing, calculate approximately $0.38 per square foot for full-color prints using PFI-710 cartridges, or $0.45 with PFI-310. Monochrome CAD drawings cost roughly $0.12 per square foot. These estimates include all five inks at standard coverage. Factor in media costs ($0.15-0.50/sq ft) and add 10% for maintenance supplies. We provide detailed cost calculators for precise project quotes.
