Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you need a 24" large-format printer for occasional plans, signage bits, and everyday graphics, the Canon TM-240 is a sensible, low-drama choice. It’s priced like an “operational” machine rather than a premium production system, and Canon’s setup/support tends to be pretty straightforward in a UK office environment. The standout value is that it’s quiet enough that it won’t feel like you’ve pushed a workshop into your meeting room, and it’s aimed at teams that want reliable output without babysitting.

That said, £1,096 ex-VAT isn’t exactly impulse buy territory, so I’d only recommend it if your use case matches “regular but not high-volume production.” If you’re printing lots of engineering drawings all day, large job runs, or you care deeply about ultra-crisp colour consistency across long batches, you may end up wanting a faster, more production-focused model (and the ink/cost-per-page reality can swing the decision). Also, make sure you actually need 24" width—if most of your work is narrower, you’ll be paying for capability you rarely use.

Who should buy: small design/architectural teams, print-for-client support offices, schools, and anyone who needs dependable 24" A1 capability with minimal fuss. Who shouldn’t: high-throughput print shops, anyone who regularly runs very large colour volumes, or buyers expecting “big production plotter” performance at entry-level pricing. If you tell me roughly how many prints per week and what types (CAD linework vs colour graphics), I can sanity-check whether this is a good match or a false economy.
