Developed to benefit entry-level print customers, Canon U.S.A., Inc. has announced the new imagePROGRAF large-format 5-Color 24-inch TA-20 and 36-inch TA-30 printers. The TA Series offers end users Canon’s software and brand value in a solution built to help stimulate workflow and productivity for small businesses and first-time large-format print users, according to Canon.
The multi-purpose imagePROGRAF TA Series devices provide users the ability to print on water resistant media for outdoor signage by utilizing 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 6 months outdoors. 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 also include Canon’s free poster creation software, PosterArtist Lite, allowing customers to design and print posters. These devices also come standard with a layout software enabling users to nest images and can print directly from Microsoft Office.
With the ability to print a 24×36 inch document or poster in as fast as 27 seconds, according to Canon, on plain paper using Fast (Q5) mode, Canon’s technology gets the job done. The series’ air-feeding system offers end users printing which is designed to help increase productivity by helping the paper to remain straight to reduce wrinkles and paper jams.
“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 TA printers ship standard with a total of 330 ml ink, 164% more ink than the comparable HP 5 device, and 157% more ink than the comparable Epson 6 device currently offered.
Designed for small businesses and home offices, the TA-20 and TA-30 devices are compact printers created to fit into small office spaces. These models feature an economy print mode, which allows for 40% less ink usage than standard mode. Additionally, Canon provides an on-the-fly ink tank technology that gives users the ability to replace ink during printing.
