Every New Year, of course, brings change. In your case, one such change may be investment in a new large-format printer, especially as technological advances march on, and the leading manufacturers phase out support and supplies for older existing models.

Our team at Prizma Graphics was moved to write about this subject after receiving the news that Canon is withdrawing support and supplies (inks) for certain ageing printers – specifically the following devices:

  • The A1 printers IPF 600, 605, 610, 650, and 655
  • The A0 printers IPF 700, 710, 720, 750, 755, 760, 765

In accordance with these recent announcements from the Japanese brand, the PFI-102 and PFI104 130ml inks are no longer available.

Now could be the moment to futureproof your large-format printing for 2025

So, you can probably begin to see why, if you presently use one of the aforementioned machines, keeping well-stocked with ink could become more difficult for you this coming year.

Fortunately, while there is the “stick” of Canon ceasing production of certain supplies, here at Prizma Graphics, we’ve got a very tasty “carrot” in the form of our January Canon printer promotion!

If, then, you are already considering upgrading your existing Canon wide-format printer in view of the impending shortage of ink supplies, you may be very tempted by the opportunity to save on any of the below sophisticated printer models:

Sustainability is a major point of focus with this renowned device, but it is also simply a high-performing, productive, and reliable one.

You can place your faith in this quietly operating machine when you require vivid hues, sharp lines, and A1 prints in as little as 23 seconds.

Although it is pricier than its TM-240 counterpart in this part of Canon’s ImagePROGRAF range, the TM-255 allows you to bolster productivity still further, an A1 print able to be produced in just 20 seconds.

In common with that device, the TM-255 offers re-intuitive functionality and superb image quality for AEC offices, retail, and education.

Moving onto the A0 range of Canon wide-format printer options, the TM-340 presents all the formidable specifications that one would expect at this price point.

This device is easy to use, is sustainable in its operation, and makes good use of five colours of 300ml starter inks included with the package. That’s the perfect combination of features for producing stunning marketing materials and accurate CAD prints.

Another large-format colour printer that makes a seriously tempting proposition even at its pre-discount price, the TM-350 includes five colours of 490ml starter inks, including the new magenta ink.

Such inks lend themselves to the creation of beautiful prints for all manner of CAD and marketing purposes, with a single A0 print taking just 43 seconds.

Again, it is a device that is a pleasure to use, and which will almost certainly be less noisy and more secure than your current Canon wide-format printer.

One of the ultimate machines available for A0 poster and CAD printing, this ImagePROGRAF printer makes possible the efficient and sustainable production of professional-quality prints.

With its 2GB of memory and 500GB hard drive, but also a design and dimensions that still allow for its convenient placement against a wall, the TM-355 is one of the very best options for a Canon wide-format printer.
