Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 3100 Wide Format Printer is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device 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 offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • Pick this if your AEC office prints 1,500-3,000 D-size sheets a month and the 3000-series feels slow.
  • Pick this if you want dry-toner durability with 50% more throughput than a 3000.
  • Pick this if you regularly plot 20-30 sheet bid sets and can't lose 8 minutes per set.
  • Pick this if you want dual rolls so you can keep 24 and 36 inch loaded at once.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine for civil, structural, and architectural plotting with mixed line weights.
  • It's fine if you need a single device that handles plot and walk-up reprint duty.
  • It's fine for shops that do occasional scan-to-PDF on the side.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need any color plotting — monochrome only.
  • Skip this if you push more than 3,000 D-size sheets monthly; jump to a 5000 or 7000.
  • Skip this if you need photo-quality halftone rendering.
  • Skip this if your install spot can't handle 440 lbs and 50 sq ft of floor.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 3100 is the step-up from the 3000 family, running at 6 D-size prints per minute (about 360 per hour) at 600 x 600 dpi on the same proven monochrome LED dry-toner engine. It's the right pick for mid-size AEC firms doing 1,500-3,000 36-inch sheets a month — busy enough that 4 ppm felt slow, but not so big that you need a 7000-series production plotter. You get one or two roll feeds, an integrated touchscreen, KIP PrintNet job management, and full HPGL/2, PDF, TIFF, JPG, and Postscript 3 support out of the box. Energy Star qualified, runs on standard 120V 15A power, footprint stays in the ~49 inch range, weight around 440 pounds. The 50% speed bump over the 3000 series is real and noticeable when you're plotting a 30-sheet bid set — about 5 minutes instead of 7-8. The regret to know about: the 3100 still uses single-roll spindle changes that feel slow when you switch from 24 to 36 inch paper mid-job. If your shop swaps roll widths constantly, the dual-roll 3100 config is worth the upcharge.

FAQ

KIP 3100 Wide Format Printer, 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 KIP 3100 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 8,775 sq ft per cartridge. Replacement toner is available in 300-gram cartridges (SUP3100-103, sold in 2-packs) with the same yield. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The KIP 3100 runs at 6 D-size prints per minute (ppm) at 600 x 600 dpi, while the KIP 7170 operates at 4 D-size ppm but with higher resolution (600 x 2400 dpi). The 3100 supports one or two roll feeds and includes KIP PrintNet job management, whereas the 7170 has a 12.1-inch touchscreen and KIP System K. The 3100 is better suited for mid-size firms with higher volume needs (1,500–3,000 sheets/month), while the 7170 is ideal for smaller offices or teams of 5–25 users. For small offices prioritizing speed, the KIP 3100 offers better value.
The KIP 3100 is well-suited for small businesses with moderate to high-volume printing needs, handling 1,500–3,000 36-inch sheets per month at 6 ppm. Its monochrome output, integrated touchscreen, and support for multiple file formats make it efficient for technical documents.
No, the KIP 3100 is a monochrome-only printer designed for black-and-white technical documents. For color wide-format printing, consider alternatives like the KIP C7800, HP DesignJet T830, or Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30.
