On The Lookout For An Affordable, Easy-To-Use Multi-Function Device For Large-Format Printing

 


Although it is not exactly a new development for our team at Prizma Graphics to express warm words about the Canon ImagePROGRAF printers TM-200 and TM-300, for today’s blog post, we wished to draw attention to two specific models in the acclaimed TM Series range: the TM-200 MFP 24” A1 L24ei Compact Colour Printer Scanner, and the equivalent TM-300 MFP L36ei 36” A0 machine.

These five-colour CAD and poster printing devices sport formidable specifications all-round, including such features as 2GB memory and 60% noise reduction compared to their direct predecessors in the Canon line-up. However, it is the integrated scanner present with both these wide-format printers that may be of particular interest to many.

Convenient scanning and printing in a complete solution

Even when these devices are considered ‘just’ as printers, there are a lot of excellent reasons to consider them for a design office or studio where there is a need for the swift printing of high-quality CAD and general poster work. And when we say “swift”, we are referring to print speeds of 24 seconds per A1 print in the case of the TM-200, and 40 seconds per A0 print for users of the TM-300.

These wide-format printers also use new pigment inks that produce waterproof prints suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. Don’t overlook, either, the compact designs of these printers, including their flat rears that allow them to be placed against a wall to save space.

If, though, it is specifically the Canon TM Series printer with the incorporated Lei series scanner that you select, you will presumably wish to also make use of the scanning functionality in this attractively priced multi-function printer (MFP).

And sure enough, both the Canon ImagePROGRAF printers TM-200 and TM-300 – in their MFP forms – live up to the expectations of those seeking a device that would enable them to easily scan, copy, print and save. These MFPs are both unfussy and easy to use, and for users who don’t need to immediately print the image they are looking to have scanned, they can simply choose to have it scanned to a USB stick instead.

In fact, you won’t even need a computer to be connected to either of these printers, in order to scan direct to a USB thumb-drive that has been plugged into the scanner itself. In this situation, the scanned image can be stored as a TIFF file, although if you would prefer to have it saved as a PDF or JPG, all that you have to do is connect the scanner to a PC on which the supplied ScanApp software has been installed.

A broad range of scan modes to ensure your exact needs are met

Delving more deeply into the specifications of these sophisticated MFP machines, it is interesting to note that they use SingleSensor scan technology with multiple LED illumination, delivering an optical resolution of 600dpi. An impressive level of scan accuracy is also made possible by these devices – specifically amounting to 0.2%, plus or minus one pixel.

No less intriguing with these MFPs, though, is the wide range of scan modes provided. Users are able to scan to USB formats, for instance, using the ScanApp, including RGB/Greyscale/BW, TIFF, JPG and PDF, or they can scan to PC, with the supported formats being RGB/Greyscale/BW, TIFF, JPEG and PDF. There is also a Copy scan mode to RGB/Greyscale/BW, as well as Copy & Archive, which effectively combines the aforementioned Copy and Scan to PC modes.

All in all, these are serious machines for serious applications, while also not compromising on affordability and user-friendliness as far as multi-function printing and scanning are concerned.

A comparison between the Canon ImagePROGRAF TM and TX Series printers - Prizma Graphics Ltd

Image
While Canon’s ImagePROGRAF range of printers can always be counted on to deliver high-quality, efficient and hassle-free wide-format printing results, you may understandably struggle at first to decide between the TM Series and TX Series models in our present stock.   So, we thought we’d take a look at the respective merits of these strong-selling lines, which include the 24” Canon ImagePROGRAF printers TM-205 and TM-200 and the 36” TM-305 and TM-300 , as well as – in the case of the TX Series – the 24” TX-2100 , 36” TX-3100 and 44” TX-4100 .   What distinguishes these industry-leading printers?   While all of the printers across these Canon ImagePROGRAF ranges are rated strongly by users, they do cater to different needs, and incorporate different features accordingly.   The TM Series, for instance, consists of low-to-medium-volume printers, with the TM-205 and TM-305 both having a 500GB hard drive. The TX Series machines, meanwhile, are higher-volume pri...

It’s The Simple Things That Often Make The Biggest Difference On Canon’s Imageprograf Wide-Format Printers - Prizma Graphics

Image
  We have previously written extensively here at Prizma Graphics on the merits of Canon’s ImagePROGRAF large-format inkjet printers, and there are good reasons for that. Indeed, it could be argued that not all of the features of these remarkable devices are acknowledged as much as they should be.   The catch basket on your printer can mean more than you think   The catch basket might not seem an especially important feature of a wide-format printer, but when you invest in a Canon ImagePROGRAF   TM-200   or  TM-300 inkjet printer , for example, the catch basket can double as a stacker. Some 20 sheets are held face-down in order of printing, thereby preventing the prints from being damaged and saving the user the hassle of sorting.   This is in contrast to certain competitor machines that might have no stacking ability, and that simply offer a catch basket where the prints fall and can become curled, crumpled and damaged. It’s no surpr...
