Canon Australia has launched seven new large format printers on the local market, including the imagePROGRAF TX Series and imagePROGRAF PRO-6000.
“We’ve expanded our range of large format printers to meet the growing demands of our broad customer base, which spans from photographers and graphic artists, design and construction companies,” says Michael Mashman, manager of large format print at Canon Business Services. “The ability to print high quality large format images in-house means these customers have the capability to quickly create, scan and share large documents, whenever they need them.”
Canon’s new imagePROGRAF TX Series includes the imagePROGRAF TX-2000, TX-3000 and TX-4000, available in 24-inch, 36-inch and 44-inch widths respectively. The new devices offer a number of enhanced features that were only available in higher-end toner devices, making them ideal replacements for the high-end CAD (computer-aided design) market.
The entire TX Series is also available as a multifunction print (MFP) solution when combined with the new T-Series scanner and All-In-One 15.6” touch-screen PC. The imagePROGRAF TX-2000MFP T24, the TX-3000MFP T36 and the TX-4000MFP T36, complete the new TX-Series allowing customers to buy a machine that is suitable for their environment based on their needs, budget and available space.
When you combine the MFP capabilities with the newly developed LUCIA TD pigment ink, print service providers are able to offer a print, scan, copy solution to their technical clients, as well as durable, light-fast posters to their graphics customers. All models in the Series are available with the optional Mulitfunctional Roll Unit
“Where previously CAD drawings were printed in centres using LED plotters, today many businesses want their own inkjet printers so they can produce drawings when they need them,” says Anjana Maikap, product marketing manager, Canon Business Services. “Our new imagePROGRAF TX Series provides a high performance, high-speed inkjet.”
The imagePROGRAF PRO-6000 completes Canon’s PRO-Series range of 12 colour printers and helps to ensure the same high print quality across the range from 17” to 60” wide. This ensures print consistency for multiple machine users as all devices use the same print head, ink type and processors.
Maikap says fine art professionals and graphic artists will welcome the versatility that the imagePROGRAF PRO-6000 offers, including the ability to print on various media types, such as a full range of photo papers, fine art papers and specialist materials like fabric and canvas.
