Is this the right printer for you?

Who the KIP 3101 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 you want a 3100 with newer firmware and a more responsive touchscreen.
  • Pick this if your team plots 1,500-3,000 D-size sheets monthly and 6 ppm fits.
  • Pick this if you need dual-roll setup for mixed 24/36 inch jobs.
  • Pick this if dry-toner job-site durability matters more than the cheapest acquisition cost.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine for everyday plotting in a 5-15 person design office.
  • It's fine for combined plot, copy, and scan duty without buying separate devices.
  • It's fine if you batch plot 2-4 times a day rather than streaming continuous jobs.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you want the latest controller — the 3102 has it.
  • Skip this if you need color, photo-quality output, or production-press throughput.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume passes 3,000 sheets — pick a 5200 or 7100.
  • Skip this if your team needs cloud-native walk-up printing without extra software.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The KIP 3101 is the mid-life refresh of the 3100 — same 6 D-size ppm at 600 x 600 dpi monochrome LED dry-toner engine, but with updated controller hardware and a smoother KIP Request/PrintNet experience than the original 3100. It's aimed at mid-volume architectural and engineering shops printing 1,500-3,000 36-inch sheets a month, where the 3000 series feels too slow but a 5000 or 7000 is overkill. You get one or two roll feeds, full file format support (HPGL/2, PDF, TIFF, JPG, Postscript 3), Energy Star certification, and a compact 49-inch console footprint. The 6 ppm speed handles a 25-sheet check set in just over 4 minutes — fast enough that nobody waits long, slow enough that you don't pay for unused capacity. The thing to know: the 3101's controller is a generation behind the 3102, which means fewer cloud printing options and slightly older drivers. If you're running modern Windows 11 fleets and need the latest universal print driver behavior, the 3102 is worth the small premium.

FAQ

KIP 3101 Wide Format Printer, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (904) 579-2558 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the KIP 3101 ships with a starter toner cartridge yielding up to 30,000 pages at 5% coverage. Replacement toner uses 300g cartridges (2 per pack) for high-volume efficiency. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The KIP 3101 prints at 6 D-size ppm with a 600 x 600 dpi monochrome engine, while the KIP 7170 runs at 4 D-size ppm with higher 600 x 2400 dpi resolution. The 3101 supports 1-2 rolls and targets mid-volume users (1,500-3,000 sheets/month), whereas the 7170 is a 1-roll MFP designed for smaller teams. For small offices needing faster output, the 3101 offers better value.
The KIP 3101 is ideal for small businesses printing 1,500-3,000 wide-format sheets monthly, with its 6 ppm speed and compact design. However, its monochrome-only output and mid-volume limits may not suit high-demand color needs.
No, the KIP 3101 is a monochrome-only printer. For color wide-format printing, consider alternatives like the KIP C7800, HP DesignJet T830, or Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30.
