Plot it recommendation
If you’re a small to mid-volume CAD or office user, the Canon TM-255 MFP Lm24 offers exceptional value through its low running costs, professional output quality, and integrated scanning.
For users with light print requirements, the TM-240 MFP Lm24 offers a more budget-friendly option, but for those printing regularly, the TM-255’s larger inks, built-in HDD, and advanced workflow tools make it the smarter long-term investment.
You also have the optional upgrade to extend your standard Canon warranty to 3, 4, or 5 years.
