On February 16, Canon (China) Co., Ltd. officially announced the launch of Canon’s first large-format desktop printer, imagePROGRAF TC-5200. The slim body integrates a number of core technologies to meet the needs of workers at home, small or temporary offices. Demand for office space, easy operation, and high-quality printouts in multiple sizes. The device uses a 170ml large-capacity ink bottle, which is suitable for continuous output, is environmentally friendly, and achieves low-power operation. The energy consumption during printing is only 28W. It is a considerate choice for practitioners in design, construction, catering and retail industries.
Desktop type large format, slim body saves space
imagePROGRAF TC-5200 24-inch large-format printer has a slim body, stylish appearance, and compact design. It can be conveniently placed on a bookshelf or desk for use. It is suitable for users who have limited work space but need large-format printing. The top of the fuselage adopts a roll support design without a horizontal axis. Compared with the traditional roll design with a horizontal axis, it saves more operating space when installing paper. In addition, for home, small or temporary users, it is obviously difficult to equip printers with dedicated IT maintenance personnel. In order to solve the problem of difficult self-maintenance of user equipment, imagePROGRAF TC-5200 continues the advantages of imagePROGRAF series, and all basic operations are placed on the front of the fuselage. Whether it is roll paper installation, sheet paper installation, maintenance cartridge replacement or ink addition, users do not need to move the printer or go around the back of the printer, and the operation can be easily and concisely completed from the front. Such a full front-end operation design not only allows the printing equipment to be placed against the wall, effectively utilizing the space and reducing the floor space, but also greatly saves the time for equipment maintenance.
At the same time, users can choose an additional desktop paper collection basket for the imagePROGRAF TC-5200 printer according to their own needs, so that the printed documents can be easily stored, and the business office space can also be made more tidy and orderly.
