Canon Releases Seven Large Format Printers with Improved Colour Quality and Productivity
The imagePROGRAF TZ-5320/TX-5420/TX-5320 MFP series and imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 and TX-5420/5320/5220 printer series deliver high speed, large volume prints in the graphic design, architectural, engineering and construction segments
SINGAPORE, 12 September 2024 — Canon today announced the launch of the new imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 and TX Series (TX-5420/5320/5220), which offer a range of single function and multi-function1 large format printers to cater to diverse printing needs. The imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 outputs large volumes of drawings at high speed to meet high productivity needs in the construction, design, manufacturing and output industries. The TX series covers a wide range of printing needs, including drawings, posters and bulletin boards.
Thanks to enhanced productivity and improved poster quality with vivid colours, the new printers are ideal for the CAD industries, corporate and government sectors, and areas of the output industry like in-house production of corporate materials can be elevated.
New Image Processing and Adoption of Magenta Ink
With the new image processing technology and magenta ink in the new TZ and TX MFP and printer series, colour reproduction has improved in comparison to the conventional2 models. Deeper and more vivid quality prints can now be realised even on plain paper. Besides reproducing posters, perspective drawings and bulletin notices in vibrant colours, colour drawings with clear lines and texts, high-quality output with sharp black lines can also be achieved.
Improved Productivity with Less Downtime
The imagePROGRAF TZ-5320, one of the multi-function printers available in this newly launched series, can achieve high-speed printing of up to 4 pages per minute3, which is the fastest in the series. Printed materials such as drawings and posters, can also be ejected from the top and taken from the front of the unit. For the new TX series, the printers can print up to 3.3 pages per minute3 which is a higher printing speed than conventional models.
All models are equipped with an advanced Smart Roll Paper Set function that automatically detects paper feed and type and estimates the remaining paper quantity. The speed-up of the paper feeding process reduces the time it takes to load the roll paper. In addition, high image quality is maintained by an ink sensing system that automatically optimises the ink landing position by periodically monitoring ink ejection conditions. “Colour calibration function” automatically corrects for variations in output colour due to individual print head differences and aging. These reduces the printing time and possible downtime, allowing users to print large amounts of drawings and posters quickly and efficiently.
Eco-friendly Features
Polystyrene foam is currently not used in product packing and use of disposable plastics has been reduced. In terms of power consumption, when during operation, the imagePROGRAF TZ-5320 and TX-5420/5320 have reduced energy usage by 29%4 and by 25%5 respectively compared to conventional models.
