Canon imagePROGRAF TM-600 36-inch A0 Large Format Printer | 7450C003AA
This is a budget-friendly A0 printer for light-volume CAD, technical drawings, posters, signage, and everyday large-format printing.
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-600 provides an affordable entry point into professional 36-inch A0 printing. Designed for light-volume users, it combines a relatively low capital outlay with the professional features and media flexibility found across Canon’s wider imagePROGRAF TM series.
Its 55ml colour cartridges and 80ml matte black cartridge are suited to lighter workloads and smaller print budgets, while the pigment ink system delivers sharp technical output and vivid colour graphics.
Despite its entry-level position, the TM-600 offers more media flexibility than its price point might suggest. Compatible 2-inch core media can be used in lengths of up to 110 metres, while optional 3-inch core adapters allow suitable bond media up to 175 metres. A maximum roll diameter of 140mm also provides useful media capacity for a compact A0 printer.
The 36-inch print width makes the TM-600 ideal for A0 CAD drawings, technical plans, venue posters, signage, presentation graphics, and everyday business printing.
Plot it’s take
The TM-600 is an interesting proposition for anyone who needs A0 printing but doesn’t need the ink capacity of a higher-volume production printer.
Its smaller 55ml colour and 80ml matte black cartridges keep the consumable commitment sensible for lighter workloads. At the same time, Canon hasn’t stripped away the useful features that make the TM series practical.
The media handling is a particularly strong point.
Compatible 2-inch core media can reach 110 metres, while optional 3-inch core adapters allow suitable bond media up to 175 metres. The 140mm maximum roll diameter also gives the TM-600 useful media capacity for an entry-level A0 machine.
This means the TM-600 can handle much more than occasional CAD plots. It’s equally capable of producing A0 posters, venue graphics, signage, presentation material, and other business documents.
For users who need a straightforward A0 printer without committing to the larger ink capacities of the TM-610 or TM-615, the TM-600 offers a practical and economical starting point.
Why choose the Canon TM-600?
Affordable entry-level A0 printing
The TM-600 is designed for organisations that need A0 printing but have relatively modest print volumes.
Its 55ml colour cartridges and 80ml matte black cartridge provide a sensible ink capacity for occasional and light-volume printing, helping keep the printer appropriate for smaller budgets.
The pigment ink system delivers professional output for both technical documents and everyday colour graphics.
Sharp, accurate technical drawings
Canon’s new high-density matte black ink produces sharper thin lines, crisp text, and cleaner technical detail.
The TM-600 is well-suited to:
- A0 architectural drawings
- Engineering plans
- Construction documents
- CAD drawings
- Surveying
- Technical reports
- Project documentation
Enhanced image processing helps preserve fine detail in technical drawings and other line-based documents.
A0 posters and graphics
The TM-600 isn’t restricted to CAD printing.
Improved plain-paper colour mapping produces darker, more vivid colour output, making it suitable for:
- Venue and event posters
- Retail and hospitality signage
- Presentation graphics
- Educational displays
- Business posters and notices
- Marketing material
Borderless printing on supported media can also reduce the need to trim unwanted margins from posters and graphics.
More media flexibility than expected
The TM-600 supports a broad range of paper and film media, allowing users to select materials according to the application and budget.
Compatible 2-inch core media can be used in lengths of up to 110 metres, depending on the selected media.
Optional 3-inch core adapters are available separately. With suitable bond media, these allow rolls up to 175 metres to be used.
The TM-600 supports a maximum roll diameter of 140mm, giving users useful media capacity before a roll needs replacing.
Longer rolls can reduce media changes during regular printing, while the wider choice of media makes the TM-600 suitable for both economical CAD paper and more specialist materials.
Straightforward A0 operation
The 4.3-inch tiltable touchscreen provides access to key printer settings and information, including:
- Media type
- Remaining media
- Ink levels
- Printer status
Automatic media detection helps simplify setup, while the flat-top roll-paper cover makes loading and changing media straightforward.
Borderless printing
Borderless printing is available on supported media sizes.
This is particularly useful for A0 posters, notices, and presentation graphics, helping reduce the need for manual trimming.
Easy poster creation
The TM-600 can also be used by those without specialist graphic design experience.
Canon’s free PosterArtist Lite software provides an easy way to create posters and simple promotional graphics without the need to purchase additional design software.
This can be particularly useful for venues, schools, retailers, and small businesses producing occasional A0 promotional material in-house.
Connectivity for shared workplaces
The TM-600 supports conventional network printing alongside driver-free printing options, including:
- Apple AirPrint
- Mopria
- IPP Everywhere
- Printing from compatible Windows and ChromeOS devices
This allows different users and devices to access the printer in a shared office or working environment.
Quiet A0 printing
The TM-600 is designed for low-noise operation, making it suitable for offices, education environments, and other shared workplaces.
Canon has also incorporated sustainability measures, including recycled materials and EPS-free packaging. EPEAT certification applies in specified markets.

- Small businesses buying their first A0 printer
- Architects and engineers with light print volumes
- Construction and AEC offices
