Canon India has announced the launch of the new imagePROGRAF TM Series printers, a range of high-performance, large-format printers designed for copy shops, photo studios, corporate offices, site engineering offices, and print shops.
The new lineup offers both single-function and multifunction printers and is designed to deliver high-quality prints at a faster speed. The series is tailored to meet a wide spectrum of large-format printing, catering to copy shops, the photo studio segment, corporate offices, site engineering offices and print shops.
“In light of the swift transformation and digitization being witnessed in the professional printing industry, Canon India is pivoting its cutting-edge technology towards developing specialized products tailored to the contemporary needs of users,” said Manabu Yamazaki, president and CEO, Canon India.

This versatile and innovative lineup encompasses printers in both single and multifunction categories, effectively addressing the diverse printing requirements of copy shops and businesses.”
Superior print speed with efficient print applications
Canon‘s new L-COA PRO II image processing engine delivers fast print speeds and rapid activation from sleep mode, ensuring remarkable productivity when producing drawings and posters. The imagePROGRAF TM-5350/5355 achieves an impressive printing rate of approximately 3.2 sheets of drawing prints per minute, representing a significant 28% improvement compared to its predecessors.
High-quality vivid prints
The newly designed image processing reproduces the color of the print deeply and vividly. Equipped with newly developed magenta ink for excellent red color development, it helps to reproduce important details highlighted in lines and texts for CAD drawings and good quality posters even on plain paper. In addition, all-colour pigment ink is used to print posters and other layouts, which ensures that they do not fade easily over a long period. Borderless posters using roll papers can also be produced without the hassle of cutting the margins after printing. With the color calibration function enabled, variations in output color will be corrected, leading to stable color reproduction for optimum print quality.
All models come with a new flat top design for easy daily operation in loading media by placing roll paper on top of the printer, attaching roll holders, and sliding along a guide, thus enabling smaller operational space without using another table.
Added features such as paper type detection shorten operation time during the loading of paper and reduce labor costs. Enhanced with a wider printer panel, paper type with remaining roll paper estimation and ink levels are visible at one glance. There is a significant reduction in the operating noise during printing, especially for TM-5240/5340. With operating noise of about 39dB, it is about 1/3 of the conventional model.
