SPECIFICATIONS

Brilliant Image Quality

The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-255 MFP Lm24 A1 Printer and Scanner features single sensor accurate scanning technology combined with the LUCIA TD 5-colour all pigment ink system which produces the sharpest, thinnest lines. The scanner features multiple LED illumination and a maximum resolution of 600 dpi.

The LUCIA TD Ink system features a uniquely formulated MBK, which features high surface tension, eliminating feathering and generating crisp, sharp lines. Drawings can be precisely reproduced even on uncoated papers. LUCIA TD inks also create weather resistant prints, enabling outdoor viewing and easy handling of drawings. Enhanced reactivity between the LUCIA TD pigments and media components means pigments stays close on the media surface, allowing colours to be vivid, even on plain paper. Designed specifically for CAD, GIS, and Poster applications, a minimum line width of 0.02mm can be achieved with a range accuracy of +/- 0.01%.

The 5-colour all pigment LUCIA TD inks are available in 130 and 300 ml, and deliver improved magenta  and black print quality on plain paper and higher density clearer lines and text on uncoated paper with vivid colour expression.

The improved LUCIA TD magenta ink expands the colour gamut and improves the  clarity and vibrancy of red, perfect for high-precision CAD drawings and posters alike.  The TM-255 MFP Lm24 A1 Printer and Scanner delivers better and brighter reds, especially for company logos and corporate colours.

The Canon Lucia TD Inks include two types of black inks with different surface tension.  Matte Black (MBK) ink with high surface tension enables minimal spreading of ink droplets, and pigment remains near the surface.  This is suitable for producing crisp lines and dense text with minimal feathering. Black lines are sharper and more crisp making small text and detailed expression like hatching is better reproduced with the TM-255 MFP Lm24 A1 Printer and Scanner.

MANUFACTURER INFORMATION

Canon imagePROGRAF TM Series CAD, GIS, and Poster (5-colour) wide format printers use a number of advanced Canon proprietary technologies to achieve fine lines, small text and highly detailed graphics produced with incredible accuracy and sharpness. The Canon TM Series builds on the previous success of the Canon TX Series, with updates to all core technologies, including the print head, ink system, and mechanical platform.

FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print-head technology for 5-colour imagePROGRAF printers features a total of 15,360 nozzles into a new 1.07″ high density, 6 chip print head. There are 5,120 nozzles for MBK, and 2,560 nozzles for C, M, Y, and K. Bi-directional printing design of the imagePROGAF printers means print times are significantly faster than conventional print systems which require multiple passes for each line to compensate for uneven droplet size and placement on the paper. An innovative ink-nozzle manufacturing method results in precisely uniform 5 picoliter droplets resulting in 2400 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) and outstanding print performance. The non-firing nozzle detection and compensation system ensures excellent repeatable image quality for every print.

Canon imagePROGRAF TM Series Large Format Printers feature the LUCIA TD 5-colour all pigment ink system designed specifically for the CAD/GIS/poster making market. Canon LUCIA TD pigment inks are water resistant, enabling outdoor viewing and easy handling of drawings. The unique formulation of LUCIA TD inks enhances reactivity between pigment inks and media components. Pigments stay close on the media surface, allowing colours to be vivid, even on plain paper. LUCIA TD inks improve ink adhesion to the media and minimise colour bleeding. When black ink intersects with coloured ink (for example, words printed on a colour background) the black and cyan inks induce a chemical reaction that prevents black from bleeding into the colours. This means clearer text, smoother curves, and sharp fine lines even on uncoated technical papers. Using pigment inks also improves scratch and marker resistance so prints are far more durable than those printed with conventional dye inks. Canon imagePROGRAF TM Large Format Printers utilise two types of black ink for the best possible results on all types of media. For photo-type a black ink (BK) is used and for high contrast prints on matte paper, a matte black (MBK) is used. This process ensures smooth graduations across every media type and is highly efficient as the relevant ink is automatically selected for each media type. The LUCIA TD MBK is a newly developed pigment ink with high surface tension, resulting in less feathering, and lines remain crisp and sharp.  The LUCIA TD Magenta ink is newly developed for the TM-240, TM-255, TM-340, TM-350, and TM-355 printers, delivering more vivid reds and a wider colour gamut.

Canon imagePROGRAF TM Series Large Format Printers incorporate a sophisticated, ergonomic design in a compact body, with fully -front accessible operation that enables the printers to be flush against a wall. The TM Series features easy roll paper loading with a natural posture and a colour touchscreen display for easy and intuitive operation.

The Canon TM Series features state of the art noise reduction technology, making the  Canon TM Series one of the quietest large format printers on the market. The TM Series features a smaller exhaust fan, and the platen fan, for keeping paper flat for enhanced precision printing. With its new silencer design the TM Series cancels the noise from the platen fan, with the exhaust fan, reducing the main operation noise. The TM-Series large format printers incorporates further noise suppressing design, including the roll-feeding system which reduces the noise caused by paper vibration, and the cutter system which suppresses the cutting noise with clean and sharp performance. As a result, the Canon imagePROGRAF TM Series has significant reduction in the main operation noise by up to 60% relative to current models.

State of the art noise reduction technology continues to improve with  Canon TM-240, TM-255, TM-340, TM-350 and TM-355,  making them the quietest machines on the market, ideal for small spaces. The low vibration motor, silencer and other technologies reduce the printing noise, making the printer less distracting, even next to your desk. The previous TM Series have a operating noise of 44 dB, the TM-255, TM-350, TM-355 have 1/2 of the operation noise at 41 dB, and the TM-240 and TM-340 have 1/3 of the operation noise at 39 dB.

Canon’s advanced L-COA PRO (Large Format Printer Common Architecture) image processor delivers faster high-quality output and print optimisation, even data-heavy HP-GL/2 files such as electrical CAD drawings with intricate lines can be processed quickly. L-COA PRO helps your printer carry out the most complex print jobs – where files can often exceed 200MB – with ease.

The Canon L-COA Pro II processing engine used with the TM-240, TM-255, TM-340, TM-350 and TM-355  has up to 28% faster productivity than the previous Canon TM Series. The L-COA PRO II returns to printing faster from sleep mode, provides faster processing page-to page, improves PDF print performance and lowers total power consumption.

In addition, newly added disk encryption, protocol locking and secure data transmission makes the imagePROGRAF TM Series the most robust on the market with measures such as SNMPV3 and IPSec support to prevent leaks and intrusions.
