Canon’s new imagePROGRAF TA Series for entry-level large format print professionals

Canon has announced the new imagePROGRAF large-format 5-colour 24-inch TA-20 and 36-inch TA-30 printers. Aimed at small businesses and first time large-format print users, the TA Series offers end users Canon’s high-quality software and overall brand value in a cost-efficient, easy-to-use solution.

“In order to evolve in the competitive large-format inkjet market, it is important for companies to develop productive, user-friendly solutions intended to meet customer and market demands,” said Shinichi Yoshida executive vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc.

“With the new TA Series, users now have access to a printer complete with a full set of ink and software suite for a streamlined customer experience that is ready right out of the box.”

The multi-purpose imagePROGRAF TA Series is great for posters, technical documents, and designs. These new devices provide users the ability to print on water resistant media for outdoor signage by utilising Canon’s high yield TD pigment ink.

Unlike printers that use dye ink, the TA Series uses pigment ink that can produce posters that can be used for up to six months outdoors — no lamination needed when using Canon’s water resistant media!

With the ability to print borderless on all paper sizes, these models help eliminate the need for manual cutting. With wireless capabilities, users can print from anywhere in the office.

The TA printers include Canon’s free poster creation software, PosterArtist Lite, allowing customers to easily design and print professional posters. These devices also come standard with a layout software enabling users to easily nest images minimizing paper waste and can print directly from Microsoft Office with ease.

As seen through its fast print speeds and precise ink placement, the TA Series incorporates features designed to stand out in the current market. With the ability to print a 24x36 inch document or poster in as fast as 27 seconds, on plain paper using Fast (Q5) mode, Canon’s technology gets the job done.

The series’ air-feeding system offers end users high quality, consistent printing which is designed to help increase productivity by helping the paper to remain straight to reduce wrinkles and paper jams.

The imagePROGRAF large-format 5-colour 24-inch TA-20 and 36-inch TA-30 printers are now available in the USA. Local availability has not yet been announced.
