Plot it recommendation
If you are a small to mid-volume CAD or office user, the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-255 MFP offers excellent long-term value through low running costs, professional output quality, integrated scanning and secure job handling.
For users with lighter print requirements, the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-240 MFP Lm24 offers a more budget-friendly option. However, for businesses printing regularly, the TM-255 is the smarter long-term investment thanks to its larger ink compatibility, built-in HDD and advanced workflow tools.
You also have the option to extend the standard Canon warranty to 3, 4 or 5 years.
