The Canon TA-20 printer uses pigmented inks to create stunning quality prints. To explain briefly........
Whilst all Canon imagePROGRAF printers print at the same resolution (dpi), they are split into two ranges: Technical (CAD & Poster) and Graphics/Photo. TA, TM & TX Models are available with5 colour ink systems for Cad & poster work, and the Graphics range PRO-series models come with6, 8 or 12 colour ink systems for higher volume display work, photographic and gallery prints. The more ink colours a printer has, the wider the colour gamut & the better the black & white and greyscales will be. The Canon pigment inks offer both UV fade resistance and some water resistance meaning all the latest Canon models offer long lasting prints for framing and display and even outdoor display.

We can check your postcode area and either send a pallet delivery with an engineer to follow, or in many cases, a single engineer can hand deliver your new printer. In either case, the engineer will require your assistance to lift the printer from his vehicle and onto its stand. He will download & install the drivers and software and give basic training on paper loading, ink installation and sending a print file.
Full installation – two engineer team
For customers who cannot accept a pallet delivery and prefer a hand delivery service. Our two engineer teams can deliver, unpack, place and build your new printer without you having to dispose of the pallet and packaging. They will ensure the printer is set up for you and download & install the drivers and software. During the visit they will also give basic training on paper loading, ink installation and sending a print file. We will need you to complete a simple form giving details of parking, access and physical dimensions of the doorways, corridors and/or stairs to ensure that the machine can be safely delivered. Once the engineers have assessed the details, your installation date will be booked.
We will be as helpful and as flexible as we can to cater for specific requirements of each delivery, so please do get in touch for a tailored quote and the best price for your area and requirements.
