New Canon imagePROGRAF TM-500 and TM-600 Printers
New from Canon
Quiet, versatile imagePROGRAF printers for AEC, retail, hospitality and education
Canon has added the imagePROGRAF TM-500 and TM-600 to its large format range. Available in 24" (A1) and 36" (A0) formats, they are designed for offices that print CAD drawings in the morning and posters in the afternoon, all at a whisper-quiet 39dB(A). Contact us for availability and pricing.
Sharper thin lines with new MBK ink
The headline upgrade is the new high-density matte black (MBK) ink. Together with enhanced image processing, it delivers sharper thin lines and cleaner technical detail. For architects, engineers and construction teams, that means CAD prints where fine linework stays crisp and legible, even on small-scale drawings.
Canon has also improved the colour mapping used on plain paper. The result is darker, more vivid output for posters and retail materials, so one printer can cover both technical and marketing work without a trip to the print shop.
Built for quiet offices
At just 39dB(A), the TM-500 and TM-600 are designed to sit comfortably in open-plan offices, shops and teaching spaces. If the printer lives near your team rather than in a back room, quiet running is a practical benefit you will notice every day.
Simple to use
The 4.3" tiltable touchscreen puts settings and job controls close to hand and can be angled to suit the way you work. Canon has also improved connectivity, making it easier to get files from your team to the printer. That matters in shared environments such as schools and busy offices, where many different people use the same machine and nobody wants a long learning curve.
Ink tanks and running costs
The printers use 55ml ink tanks, which Canon describes as sufficient for moderate printing demands. That makes them a good match for offices that print regularly but not around the clock. If your team prints very large volumes every day, talk to us about whether a model with larger ink tanks, such as the TM-510/515, would suit you better.

Where it fits
Canon positions the TM-500 and TM-600 as a versatile choice for AEC offices, retail, hospitality and education. In practice, that covers architecture and engineering drawings, posters, menus and promotional displays, and teaching or project materials. The range is also built with sustainability in mind, which helps organisations that have environmental targets to meet.
Check before you specify one
- Pick the right width. Choose the 24" (A1) format if that is your largest regular output, and the 36" (A0) format if you print A0 drawings or posters. Contact us to confirm which model matches the size you need.
- Think about volume. The 55ml ink tanks suit moderate demand. Heavy daily printing may need a model with larger tanks.
- Match your media. A 24" printer takes rolls up to 610mm and a 36" printer takes rolls up to 914mm. Browse our plotter media for compatible rolls.
- Plan your supplies. Check our range of inks and printheads so you always have the right ink to hand.
- Check your network set-up. If you rely on specific connectivity options, confirm them with us before you buy.
