Bigger Ink Bottles with low TCO
High capacity 70ml ink bottles with low total cost of ownership (TCO). The imagePROGRAF TC-20M uses a specialised tubing system to supply ink to the print head, allowing for bigger ink bottles. That means less frequent refills, lower operating costs, and more time spent printing.
Unlike most wide format printers, the Canon TC-20M does not use traditional ink cartridges. Instead, the printer is filled using these bottles which are 100% recyclable and use less packaging. The Canon TC-20M compact A1 printer ships with 280ml worth £199, far more than any other printer in its class!
