What is the difference between the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-610 and TM-610M?

The TM-610M adds an integrated 36-inch scanner for copying and scanning, along with 6 GB of memory instead of 2 GB and device whitelisting. Print speed, inks, media handling, and footprint are the same; the TM-610M weighs about 165 lb against 139 lb for the TM-610.

Can the TM-610M copy E-size drawings?

Yes. Its scanner takes originals up to 36.5 inches wide and scans up to 36 inches across at up to 600 dpi, at 5 inches per second in color or 10 in monochrome at 200 dpi. It makes up to 99 copies at 25 to 432 percent zoom and can also scan to USB memory, email, or a shared network folder.

How fast is the TM-610?

Up to 3.2 ARCH D (24 × 36 inch) prints a minute in landscape on plain paper in its fastest mode, the top speed in the TM Series alongside the TM-615.

Overview

About the imagePROGRAF TM-610 / TM-610M

The imagePROGRAF TM-610 is the 36-inch workgroup model in Canon's new TM Series, and it comes in two versions. The TM-610 is a printer. The TM-610M adds a full-width 36-inch scanner built into the top of the machine, the first integrated scanner in the imagePROGRAF line, so the same device can copy an E-size sheet, scan it to a file, or email it without a separate scanner on the floor. Both print up to 3.2 ARCH D (24 × 36 inch) pages a minute from one top-loading roll 8 to 36 inches wide, and both ship on a stand with a stackable basket.

The five-color LUCIA TD pigment ink set includes an updated Matte Black for crisper lines, sharper text, and more vivid posters on plain paper. The printer ships with a 130 ml Matte Black and 90 ml color tanks and takes 130 ml or 300 ml replacements. On the TM-610M, a contact image sensor with dual-side LED illumination scans originals up to 36.5 inches wide at 600 dpi, at up to 5 inches per second in color and 10 in monochrome, and reduces shadows on creased prints. One 5-inch tilting touchscreen runs both printer and scanner, with presets for CAD line drawings, blueprints, tracing paper, posters, and maps, and scans go to USB memory, email, or a shared network folder.

Security is built in, with Secure Boot, TLS 1.3, SNMPv3, 802.1X, a secure event log, pattern printing, and PIN code authorization, and the TM-610M adds whitelisting. USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi are standard, Mopria and AirPrint let people print from phones and tablets without installing drivers, and PosterArtist, Direct Print Plus, Free Layout Plus, and Accounting Manager are included. Both versions are EPEAT Gold registered, ENERGY STAR certified, and Mopria certified.

Key features

What it does well

Integrated 36-inch scanner on the TM-610M
A full-width scanner built into the top of the printer. Copy E-size drawings or scan them to USB memory, email, or a shared folder at up to 5 inches per second in color and 10 in monochrome, with no separate scanner on the floor.
Presets for drawings and blueprints
Copy and scan presets cover CAD line drawings, blueprints, inverted blueprints, tracing paper, posters and photos, and drawings and maps. Dual-side LED illumination reduces shadows on creased originals.
High-capacity LUCIA TD ink
Five pigment inks with an updated Matte Black for crisper lines and vivid posters on plain paper. Ships with a 130 ml Matte Black and 90 ml colors, and takes 130 ml or 300 ml replacement tanks.
Same footprint, with or without scanning
Both versions measure about 50.6 × 34.2 × 41 inches on their stand with the basket open, so choosing the TM-610M adds scanning without adding floor space.
Sub ink tanks and automatic paper detection
Gravity-fed ink tanks use virtually every drop and can be changed while printing, and the printer reads media type, length, and width as soon as you load a roll.
Security built in
Secure Boot, TLS 1.3, SNMPv3, 802.1X, a secure event log, pattern printing, and PIN code authorization help protect the device and your documents. The TM-610M adds whitelisting.

Buying guide

Is the imagePROGRAF TM-610 / TM-610M right for your office?

The imagePROGRAF TM-610 is for workgroups that print full-size drawings and posters every day: architecture, engineering, and construction offices running D- and E-size sets, facilities and planning departments, schools, and retail and real estate teams that keep large posters in rotation. Its 130 ml and 300 ml tanks mean far fewer ink changes than the 55 ml tanks on the TM-600, and at 3.2 D-size prints a minute it is the fastest single-function TM model alongside the TM-615.

Choose the TM-610M if your team copies drawings, scans redlined sets back into the project file, or digitizes old plans. Its scanner takes originals up to 36.5 inches wide, sits on top of the printer so it adds no floor space, and shares one touchscreen with the printer. If you want a 256 GB hard drive with encryption and secure erase, or a flat stacking basket, look at the TM-615. If 24 inches is wide enough, the TM-510 and TM-510M are the same design about 12 inches narrower.

How it compares

The TM-600 shares the TM-610's 36-inch width and footprint but uses 55 ml tanks, prints 2.7 D-size pages a minute instead of 3.2, comes with a catch basket rather than a stackable basket, and has no scanner option.

The TM-510 and TM-510M are the 24-inch versions of the TM-610 and TM-610M, with the same ink tanks, scanner option, and touchscreen; they are about 12 inches narrower and print 2.9 D-size pages a minute.

For a print room that outgrows the TM-610, the TZ-32000 stays at 36 inches but runs two rolls as standard, adds a 100-sheet top stacker and a 500 GB encrypted drive, and prints up to 4 D-size pages a minute.
