Canon U.S.A.'s new imagePROGRAF TC-20M large-format, 4-colour inkjet printer supports roll paper and cut-sheet media and produces posters and signs in sizes up to 24” x 36”.
“Educators, retail shop owners, hospitality staff, graphic designers, side hustlers, office employees and more can easily print a wide variety of vivid, original large print materials such as posters and banners in just a few short steps,” said Canon. “Users can breathe life into smaller printed originals (such as hand drawings, diagrams and flyers) via the printer’s ‘enlarge copy’ feature, for a variety of applications, from visual learning to creative review, to media and advertising.”
The compact, desktop printer is the first Canon imagePROGRAF large-format model equipped with an integrated contact imaging sensor (CIS) flatbed scanner that assists in digitizing originals (to cloud or USB), as well as offering the ability to produce enlarged copies of letter-size originals without the use of a computer. The TC-20M is designed for use in almost any environment and can print the most common document and poster sizes, up to 24” x 36”. 
“The imagePROGRAF TC-20M is emblematic of how Canon is committed to delivering valuable products that meet the needs of today’s productive and creative workforce,” said Shuji “Steve” Suda, vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Thanks to technology advances, we can now offer even novice users the ability to produce and digitize their own large graphics, or even enlarge originals, to serve a wide range of needs, through a product that is designed to simplify the user experience and make it accessible at a more affordable price point. This product is a real game-changer.”
Features of the imagePROGRAF TC-20M include:
Print without a PC
Directly print PDF and JPEG files with the imagePROGRAF TC-20 M using a USB drive – no computer needed. The printer’s panel screen displays previews of selected files, making it convenient to see what is being printed. In addition to the enlarge copy feature, a repeat copy function is available, which enables the repeated placement of a copied image onto roll paper up to A1 paper size, including wrapping paper for retail gifting applications.
Bang for your buck
A large-capacity ink tank system (bundled 70ml per colour) benefits users by reducing frequency of needing to refill. Ink slots are colour coded to prevent incorrect filling. Pigment ink improves durability, provides water and UV light resistance, reduces smudging and offers colour stability.
Free design software available
Easily create posters and flyers using the PosterArtist web application - choose from a variety of templates, and modify text and images to create an original design. Variable data printing is possible via a simple Excel import for personalized batch printing. In addition, new templates have been included for a wide range of applications, both business-oriented (i.e., menus and flyers) and personal (i.e., photo collages and calendars).
Environmentally conscious
Currently rated Gold by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)2 – this is the first Canon large-format printer to earn the rating. It achieves low power consumption of just 26W (during operation) and 1.9W (in standby), and utilizes refillable ink bottles, helping to reduce waste.
