Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Oce ColorWave 3500 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...

  • You print 200 to 800 plots monthly with batch runs of 30+ at a time.
  • You work in AEC, GIS, or reprographics with 36-inch roll output.
  • You need waterproof, instant-dry field-ready plots.
  • You need dual-roll for switching sizes without reloading.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 150+ plots monthly with growth.
  • You'd use scan-to-folder for as-built archiving.
  • You handle mixed 24-inch and 36-inch roll output.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 150 plots monthly, the ColorWave 300 saves money.
  • You need photo-quality renderings, choose aqueous inkjet.
  • You print over 1,000 plots monthly, the ColorWave 600/700 fits.
  • You need duplex on plots, wide-format is single-sided.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Oce ColorWave 3500 is the higher-speed entry in the ColorWave wide-format MFP line, 4 ppm color and 4 ppm B&W at A1 with TonerPearl crystal toner technology delivering instant-dry, waterproof output. Built for AEC firms, GIS departments, and reprographics shops doing 200 to 800 plots monthly on 24-inch or 36-inch rolls. Resolution 600x1200 dpi enhanced, scan width up to 36 inches at 600 dpi, dual-roll feeder standard. Touch panel for scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, direct print from USB. Misclassified in catalog as Small Office, actual usage class is Production. Same TonerPearl differentiation as the rest of the ColorWave line, plots come out dry and won't smudge in field conditions. The buyer regret on the ColorWave 3500 over the 300 is paying for the speed step-up when actual volume doesn't justify it, the 4 ppm versus 3 ppm jump is marginal in practice and only matters when batch runs of 30+ plots are common. If your peak day pushes a ColorWave 300 over 6 hours of plotting, the 3500 earns its keep. Otherwise the slower model saves real capital.

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.

FAQ

Oce ColorWave 3500, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (704) 741-0821 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Oce ColorWave 3500 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields 2,500-3,000 D-size prints at 5% coverage.

When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Oce ColorWave 3500 is a wide-format MFP designed for AEC firms and reprographics, printing at 4 ppm on rolls up to 36 inches wide using TonerPearl technology for instant-dry, waterproof output. The Canon Arizona 1240 GT is a flatbed UV-curable inkjet printer for sign shops and industrial applications, printing directly onto rigid substrates up to 49.6 x 98.8 inches with variable droplet sizes for near-photographic quality. The ColorWave 3500 is ideal for high-volume plotting, while the Arizona 1240 GT excels in versatile, high-quality rigid media printing. For small offices, the ColorWave 3500 is more practical due to its lower footprint and ease of use.
The Oce ColorWave 3500 is designed for production environments, handling 200 to 800 plots monthly at 4 ppm, making it overkill for most small businesses. Its wide-format capabilities and TonerPearl technology are best suited for AEC firms or reprographics shops. Small businesses with lower volume needs may find it more cost-effective to lease a smaller, more versatile printer.
