Canon TM-240 Reviews

B&H Fantastic, Printer-Great, Sheet catcher/handler - terrible

By Brett
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-07-23

Great "large format printer" on a smaller platform than the customary 36" plotters... very reasonably priced, even better here with B&H... however, the lack of sheet catching for simple organization of a set of sheets when printed is very disappointing... we purchased the matching stand to compliment the plotter thinking the basket would suffice but it is not good... really even to catch one sheet printed if its a standard 24x36 sheet. seems like a simple slide out or pop up tray on the stand would be a clean and easy fix and its mind bogling that canon would offer a product without this.... had to rig my own sheet catcher on this brand new "$1500-$2000" equipment setup....

I really disappointed with this product

By Carlos
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-30

I bought this printer from B&H as a backup for my iPF200. Unfortunately, the ink tanks are far too small. I printed only a few blueprints before the ink ran out. Every time the printer powers on, it goes through a mixing cycle that consumes an excessive amount of ink. To make matters worse, the ink usage between the PFI-30 and PFI-31 tanks is completely uneven; one finishes much faster than the other. This is the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had with a printer. I am deeply disappointed.

Is the Canon imagePrograf TM-240 printer suitable ...

Is the Canon imagePrograf TM-240 printer suitable for professional photo printing?
Asked by: Ty
(Before I answer I want you to know that I run a poster printing business from home and have owned a few fancy printers, as well as had many vendors print for me.) The short answer is- YES. You CAN use this for professional photo printing. Are there printers that are even better? Yes and you'll pay 3X- 4X more for those printers. This printer has 3 colors and 2 Blacks. A fancier printer has even more color channels. In my opinion- this is good enough. This my friends, is the Toyota Camry of printers. It can do pretty much anything well. - Great looking photos? Check. - Pigment ink for longevity? Check. - Print on really thick Photo paper? Check. A normal human will be impressed by what this printer produces. A printing enthusiast may see room for improvement. Now, here's Canon's Marketing in play... TM series is advertised as a Plotter printer only (for construction sites) and Canon doesn't let on to everything it can really do. Why? Because Canon sells a "Pro Photo Printer" That costs 3-4X as much. How will they ever sell that? Downsides: - TM series is truly intended to print mainly from ROLL paper. If you need to print a lot of pre-cut sheets, look elsewhere. This printer tray can only load ONE sheet at a time. That's not fun if you need to print ten 11x17 sheet papers. - This can do borderless, but ONLY on roll paper. Need borderless on single sheets? Look elsewhere. - Just buy the stand for $300, don't torture yourself. - The $999 model can only hold a 55ML cartridge. Thats really small for large printing. Canon intends to make its money off of you in inks. One set is $250. My recommendations? - If you need an occasional wide format printer- go for it. This printer works great if you have another printer for smaller, high volume prints. - If you need to print 24x36 20 times a week, spring for the TM-250, which has MUCH larger ink cartridges, you save $600 on the first refill- investment will pay for itself by the second refill. If you need something that can do roll AND single sheet printing well, buy another printer. Some research: Here's an educational video link about this "TM" series of printer showcasing photos it can produce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2TWXPIONbg&t=834s
