A 36-inch CAD plotter with HDD security for bid sets and check sets

• Hard drive security. Canon lists HDD encryption and HDD secure erase for the TM-615 only among TM models, and the printer has a 256 GB hard drive.
• Network security options. Canon also lists TLS 1.3, 802.1X, SNMP v3, PIN code authorization, Secure Boot, and Secure Event Log for the TM Series.
• 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-615 at up to 3.2 ARCH D prints per minute, measured after the first print in Fast Q5 mode on plain paper.
• Sheets stay together. The stacking basket holds up to 20 D-size sheets, so a check set lands in one place.
• Larger tanks. It ships with 130ml matte black and 90ml color tanks, and replacement tanks come in 130ml and 300ml sizes.
• Fits small spaces. The flat-top body, full-front access to ink and media, and 4.3-inch tilt touchscreen suit a plan room, and Canon lists about 41 dB(A) operating noise.

Who this is not for: The TM-615 prints up to 36 inches wide and has no built-in scanner. If you don't need the hard drive and its security options, the TM-610 is rated at the same print speed. If you need scanning, look at the TM-610M.
