A 24-inch CAD plotter for bid sets, check sets, and busy small offices
- Crisper lines on plain paper. Canon says the reformulated matte black ink and image processing improvements give sharper lines and text, which matters when reviewers zoom in on dimensions and notes.
- Faster check sets. Canon rates the TM-510 at up to 2.9 ARCH D prints per minute, measured after the first print in Fast Q5 mode on plain paper.
- Larger tanks, fewer swaps. It ships with 130ml matte black and 90ml color tanks, and replacement tanks come in 130ml and 300ml sizes.
- Change ink mid-print. Canon's gravity-fed sub ink tank system lets you swap inks while the printer is printing.
- Fits small spaces. The flat-top body, full-front access to ink and media, and 4.3-inch tilt touchscreen suit a plan room or a corner of the office.
- Free batch tools. Direct Print Plus prints PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and HP-GL/2 files in batches, and Free Layout Plus can tile or arrange drawings.
Who this is not for: The TM-510 prints up to 24 inches wide and has no built-in scanner. If you need 36-inch output, look at Canon's 36-inch TM models. If you need scanning and copying, look at the TM-510M.
