The new products enhance the rendering performance of text and lines through a newly developed matte black ink that improves black density, combined with optimized CAD image processing algorithms, achieving high-quality CAD and poster output. Concurrently, the upgrades focus on three main directions: design, smart operations, and high-efficiency production, providing more flexible and efficient wide-format output solutions for users in industries such as architecture, manufacturing, government, and civil engineering.

Canon imagePROGRAF TX Series New Models: More Space-Saving The release of these new models further enriches Canon's*1 product lineup for the CAD and poster output market. The Canon imagePROGRAF TM series features a compact body and convenient operation, improving both image quality and efficiency. It can meet the daily drawing processing needs of architecture and surveying, design and manufacturing, and government agencies, while also catering to the poster and announcement output needs of retail, catering, and educational institutions. The Canon imagePROGRAF TX series is aimed at high-volume drawing operations in industries such as architecture, design, and manufacturing, focusing on improving continuous output efficiency and reducing post-printing sorting work. With the addition of built-in scanner models and multi-functional solutions, this expanded product lineup can meet professional users' requirements for drawing processing efficiency while accommodating daily office color display needs, further expanding the application space of large-format printing equipment in engineering drawings and posters.

Full-Line Upgrade: New Matte Black Ink Empowers High-Quality Output of Engineering Drawings and Posters The new Canon imagePROGRAF TM and TX series models all use LUCIA TD 5-color pigment inks and are equipped with a newly developed matte black ink. By enhancing the performance of black solid areas, it achieves high-quality black density output, making fine lines and small-sized text in engineering drawings clearer and sharper, thereby improving the overall readability of the drawings. Addressing the needs of the architecture, design, and manufacturing industries for high-precision drawing output, the new matte black ink can further enhance the rendering of lines and text, helping users achieve clearer and more refined drawing outputs.

Canon Practices Eco-Friendly Design, Continuously Promoting the Application of Recycled Materials The new Canon imagePROGRAF TM and TX series models further consider environmental impact during product design, with the new bodies utilizing recycled materials. Specifically, the steel used contains approximately 5% recycled steel, and the resin materials contain approximately 25% recycled resin*2. While maintaining product performance and reliability, this helps improve resource utilization and reduce dependence on new resources. Additionally, the product packaging has been further optimized to eliminate the use of foamed plastics and reduce the use of corrugated cardboard, alleviating the environmental burden while achieving a more eco-friendly product design.

Canon imagePROGRAF TM-5610M/5510M with Built-in Scanner: Enhancing the Convenience of Large-Format Document Processing through Smart Operations To quickly complete scanning and easily archive original documents electronically, the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-5610M and 5510M adopt a new integrated large-format scanner design, incorporating the scanning function directly into the printer body to achieve integrated printing, scanning, and copying functions. Compared to traditional combinations of separate printing and scanning equipment, the integrated design further reduces space occupation, keeping the device's body structure more compact and effectively improving the convenience of reading and copying large-format originals. The new models feature a flat-top design, allowing users to place large-format originals more easily. This not only improves the stability of original placement but also reduces adjustment steps during operation. Meanwhile, the built-in scanner uses a dual-LED light source design, which can effectively eliminate shadows caused by creases and wrinkles in the originals and provide stable color reproduction capabilities. This optimizes scanning quality while improving operational efficiency, further enhancing the scanning and copying experience for large-format documents.

Stronger CAD Image Processing Technology: Highly Restoring Original Colors with One-Click Blueprint Clearing In terms of print quality, the Canon imagePROGRAF TM series has optimized image processing algorithms specifically for CAD drawings, enhancing the clarity of fine lines and text while reducing interference from stains and background noise. When scanning or copying color drawings and maps, the device can automatically identify text, lines, and solid color areas, optimizing each separately. This preserves clear text and lines while restoring the original colors, ensuring precise ink droplet placement and avoiding bleeding at the edges of lines, making information in maps and color drawings easier to recognize. Addressing the common needs for blueprint copying and archiving old drawings in domestic engineering applications, the series also provides preset modes for blueprint scanning and copying. Users only need to select the corresponding original type on the operation panel to invoke the appropriate processing settings, which remove the blue background, reduce background noise, and enhance lines and text in old or faded drawings, automatically outputting clear and readable black-and-white scans or copies. This eliminates the need for repeated manual parameter adjustments and is suitable for scenarios such as construction and design drawings. Furthermore, the operation panels of the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-5610M and 5510M models feature a 5-inch adjustable-angle touch screen, identical to those used in Canon office MFPs, allowing for intuitive operation of various functions. Unified with the UI design of Canon MFPs, it is easier for users to get started. The menu interface can be flexibly customized according to business needs, and the icons have been optimized and upgraded. Users can also customize the layout of frequently used menus and parameter settings according to different usage scenarios such as construction sites, design studios, or schools, facilitating quick access to daily functions. The TM-5610M and 5510M are also equipped with a whitelist function to help reduce the risk of malware intrusion and unauthorized tampering.

Canon imagePROGRAF TX Series Equipped with New Output Baskets and High-Speed Printing, Significantly Boosting High-Volume Drawing Output Efficiency The four new models in the Canon imagePROGRAF TX series (TX-5330, 5331, 5430, and 5431) are equipped with newly developed output baskets that can neatly stack ordinary paper drawings up to A0 size in output order, with the print side facing down3. Users do not need to reorganize or align the drawings and can take them out directly, effectively reducing the burden of subsequent processes and improving the efficiency of subsequent review, distribution, and archiving. The TX-5130 MFP also comes standard with an output basket that supports orderly stacking and provides two stacking positions—drop-style and flat-style—to accommodate the stacking needs of different drawing sizes. In terms of printing efficiency, the TX-5330, 5331, 5430, and 5431 can achieve continuous output of up to 3.3 A1 landscape drawings per minute4 and support "Smart Roll Paper Installation." After the user places the roll paper into the paper feed unit, the device can automatically complete paper feeding, paper type detection, and roll paper remaining volume estimation. Additionally, through the dual roll paper feeder*5, users can print continuously using the same paper or switch between rolls of different sizes and types, reducing the frequency of paper changes. Regarding drawing digitization and copying, the TX-5431, 5331, and 5130 MFPs are paired with a 15.6-inch large touch screen, allowing users to directly view scanned images and perform real-time editing such as skew correction and brightness adjustment. The scanner and printer can operate independently, supporting parallel processing of scanning and printing. Users can start scanning the next original without waiting for the current drawing to finish copying and outputting, and can also output print files submitted from a computer while scanning drawings, thereby improving the efficiency of drawing digitization and copying.

With the addition of the 13 new models in the TM and TX series, Canon's imagePROGRAF large-format printing product lineup is further enriched, covering diverse needs from daily office drawing processing to high-volume engineering drawing output. In the future, Canon will likely continue to focus on user needs, driving continuous innovation around smart operations, high efficiency, and eco-friendly design. This may provide more professional and efficient large-format output solutions for users in industries such as architecture, design, manufacturing, government, and civil engineering.
