Canon U.S.A., Inc. announced the imagePROGRAF TC-20M, a new large-format, multifunction, 4-color pigment inkjet printer supporting both roll paper and cut-sheet media. 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 company said. It can print the most common document and poster sizes, up to 24” x 36”. Directly print PDF and JPEG files with the imagePROGRAF TC-20M 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.
“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.”
The imagePROGRAF TC-20M complements the previously announced imagePROGRAF TC-20 single-function 24” desktop model and is available for purchase directly through Canon and via select retailers and resellers for an MSRP of $995.
