Overview

About the imagePROGRAF TM-615

The imagePROGRAF TM-615 is the top 36-inch model in Canon's new TM Series, built for workgroups and print rooms that run full-size drawings and posters every day. It prints up to 3.2 ARCH D (24 × 36 inch) pages a minute from one top-loading roll 8 to 36 inches wide, the fastest speed in the series, and it is the only TM model with a 256 GB hard drive and a flat stacking 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, and the gravity-fed sub ink tanks use virtually every drop and can be changed while printing. Media type, length, and width are detected automatically when you load a roll, and loading, ink changes, and the touchscreen are all at the front.

The hard drive brings HDD encryption and HDD secure erase on top of the security every TM model shares: Secure Boot, TLS 1.3, SNMPv3, 802.1X, a secure event log, pattern printing, and PIN code authorization. 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. The TM-615 is EPEAT Gold registered, ENERGY STAR certified, and Mopria certified.

Buying guide

Is the imagePROGRAF TM-615 right for your office?

The imagePROGRAF TM-615 is for workgroups and print rooms that print D- and E-size sets every day and handle drawings they need to protect: architecture, engineering, and construction firms, government and facilities departments, and corporate and education print rooms. Its 256 GB hard drive is encrypted and can be securely erased, and the flat stacking basket gives multi-sheet sets a flat place to land rather than a sling.

The TM-615 prints at the same 3.2 D-size pages a minute with the same ink tanks as the TM-610, so the choice comes down to storage and output. Pick the TM-615 for the encrypted hard drive and flat stacking basket. Pick the TM-610M if you would rather have a built-in scanner for copying drawings. If you outgrow one roll, the TZ-32000 runs two rolls as standard with a 100-sheet top stacker.

How it compares

The TM-610 matches the TM-615's 3.2 D-size prints a minute, 36-inch width, and ink tanks but has no hard drive and uses a stackable basket; in exchange it is offered as the TM-610M with a built-in 36-inch scanner.

The TM-600 is the entry 36-inch TM model, with 55 ml tanks, 2.7 D-size prints a minute, a catch basket, and no hard drive; the TM-615 adds high-capacity tanks, more speed, a 256 GB encrypted drive, and a flat stacking basket.

The TZ-32000 is the next step for a print room, still 36 inches wide but with two rolls standard, a 100-sheet top stacker, a 500 GB encrypted drive, and up to 4 D-size prints a minute.
