New Canon imagePROGRAF Models: TM and TX Lineup

Key Points (TL;DR)

• Lineup: Canon's new imagePROGRAF TM and TX plotters include eleven models in 24-inch, 36-inch, and 44-inch widths.

• Ink: All use a five-color LUCIA TD pigment set with a reformulated matte black.

• Speed: Canon rates them from 2.4 to 3.3 ARCH D prints per minute.

• Scanning: Five models add a scanner for print, scan, and copy work.

• Fit: Width, scanning, and ink tank size narrow the choice.

Introduction

The new Canon imagePROGRAF lineup includes both plotters and MFPs, with Canon-rated print speeds from 2.4 to 3.3 ARCH D prints per minute. Canon calls the scanner in the TM-510M and TM-610M the first integrated large-format scanner for the imagePROGRAF family.

What Are the New Canon imagePROGRAF TM and TX Models?

The new Canon imagePROGRAF lineup includes seven TM Series models and five TX Series models. The TM Series covers 24-inch and 36-inch plotters, including two with integrated scanners. The TX Series adds the TX-3300 plotter, the TX-3310 MFP Z36, and the TX-1300 MFP Z36, all 36 inches wide.

Canon's TM Series brochure describes the TM Series as a compact family for CAD documents, posters, banners, and flyers. Canon measures speed in Fast Q5 mode on plain paper.

If you already run an older imagePROGRAF, the pairings below show where each new model sits in your upgrade path. You can ask TAVCO for a spec-by-spec comparison against your current printer.

Which Older Canon Models Do the New Ones Replace?

TAVCO pairs new models with the older model each one replaces: 

• the TM-500 replaces the TM-240
• the TM-600 replaces the TM-340
• the TM-610 replaces the TM-350
• the TM-610M replaces the TM-350 MFP LM36
• the TM-615 replaces the TM-355
• the TX-1300 MFP Z36 replaces the TM-355 MFP Z36
• the TX-3300 replaces the TX-3200
• the TX-3310 MFP Z36 replaces the TX-3200 MFP
• the TX-4300 replaces the TX-4200and
• The TX-4310 MFP Z36 replaces the TX-4200 MFP Z36

The right replacement still depends on your sheet sizes an print volume.

What Do All the New Canon imagePROGRAF Models Have in Common?

Every model in the lineup uses Canon's five-color LUCIA TD pigment ink with a reformulated matte black, built-in wireless printing, and free workflow software. Canon says the updated matte black produces crisper lines and sharper text than the previous TM series.

• Ink: Matte black, black, cyan, magenta, and yellow pigment inks, which Canon says resist fading.

• Software: Direct Print Plus batch prints PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and HP-GL/2 files, and PosterArtist and Free Layout Plus come at no cost.

• Connectivity: Each model lists built-in Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n), USB, and Gigabit Ethernet.

• Security: Canon lists options such as TLS 1.3, 802.1X, and SNMP v3 for the TM Series, and advises testing security settings in your environment.

How Do You Choose Between the New TM and TX Models?

Choose by width first, then scanning, ink tank size, storage and security, and roll options. Width comes first because you cannot change it after you buy. The other four factors separate models that share the same ink set, software, and print quality.

1. Width. The TM-500, TM-510, and TM-510M print up to 24 inches wide. The other seven models print up to 36 inches wide.

2. Scanning. The TM-510M and TM-610M have an integrated scanner rated at 600 dpi. The TX-1300 MFP Z36 and TX-3310 MFP Z36 use a separate Z36 scanner rated up to 1200 dpi with a 15.6-inch touchscreen controller.

3. Ink tank size. The TM-500 and TM-600 ship with 80ml matte black and 55ml color tanks. Most other models ship with 130ml and 90ml tanks, and the TX-3300 and TX-3310 MFP Z36 ship with 330ml and 160ml tanks.

4. Storage and security. Canon lists HDD encryption and secure erase for the TM-615 only among TM models, and the TX-3300 and TX-3310 MFP Z36 list a 256 GB encrypted hard drive.

5. Roll options. The optional multifunction roll unit on the TX-3300 and TX-3310 MFP Z36 adds a second roll or works as a take-up reel.

Does an Integrated Scanner Make the Printer Bigger?

No. Canon says the integrated-scanner models match the single-function models in depth, width, and height. The TX Z36 scanner is a separate unit, so plan space for both it and its controller.

What Does Each Setup Look Like in Practice?

Three common setups map to the lineup: a compact 24-inch printer, a 36-inch print and scan system, and a 36-inch printer with large ink tanks and a hard drive. These examples use Canon's listed specifications, not customer results.

• A compact 24-inch office: The TM-500 is rated at 2.4 prints per minute, and the TM-510 is rated at 2.9 with larger starter tanks.

• A team that marks up paper sets: The TM-610M prints and scans 36-inch drawings on one system, and the TX-3310 MFP Z36 adds a 1200 dpi scanner with SmartWorks software.

• A print room with sensitive drawings: The TM-615 adds HDD encryption and secure erase, and the TX-3300 adds 330ml matte black tanks and an optional second roll.

What Should You Confirm Before You Order?

Confirm availability, what ships in the box, and installation details before you order. Box contents vary by model, so a stand, basket, or stacker may differ from what you saw in a brochure. TAVCO can confirm what ships with your model and quote large-format printer installation.

Is a New Canon imagePROGRAF the Right Choice for Every Office?

A new imagePROGRAF fits most offices that print up to 36 inches wide, but a working plotter that meets your needs does not have to be replaced. Offices that need wider output should ask TAVCO about other models.

The strongest fits are offices replacing one of the older models above, teams adding scanning, and shops that want larger ink tanks. Write down your largest sheet size, your weekly print volume, and whether you scan marked-up sets. Send those three details with a custom quote request and TAVCO will match them to a model.

Key Takeaways

• Canon's new imagePROGRAF lineup has ten TM and TX models in 24-inch and 36-inch widths.

• Every model uses the same five-color LUCIA TD pigment ink with a reformulated matte black.

• Four models include a scanner: two integrated and two with a separate Z36 scanner.

• Width, scanning, ink tank size, storage, and roll options separate the models.
