The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340 is a 36″ large-format printer built for AEC offices, retail, and education environments that need CAD drawings, posters, and signage. The printer stand ships included standard, so this listing is ready to set up right out of the box. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
5-Color LUCIA Pigment Ink
A newly formulated magenta ink joins the 5-color LUCIA pigment system (Matte Black, Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) for more brilliant red color reproduction and sharper, more stable line quality. This makes the TM-340 well suited to both precise CAD drawings and eye-catching color posters from the same machine.
Fast Production Speed
The TM-340 produces an A1 CAD drawing in as little as 21 seconds using Fast Economy mode, with color calibration to keep output consistent over time and across multiple TM Series devices.
Compact, Intuitive Design
A 4.3″ tiltable touchscreen displays media type, remaining roll amount, and ink levels at a glance. Automatic media detection and easy roll paper setup reduce setup time, while a quick return from sleep mode keeps the printer ready when you need it. Operating noise is approximately 39 dB(A), quiet enough for shared office and retail environments.
Ink Cost Consideration
The TM-340 uses 55ml ink cartridges, sized for lighter, occasional printing needs. For businesses printing daily or in higher volumes, the Canon TM-350 uses larger 130ml cartridges with a meaningfully better cost per print, and is worth considering as a step up if ongoing ink cost is a priority.
Connectivity and Compatibility
The printer connects via USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, with Apple AirPrint support. It’s compatible with both Windows and macOS workflows and supports HP-GL/2, HP RTL, JPEG, and CALS G4 printer languages for CAD and technical drawing software.

What is the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340 used for?
The TM-340 is a 36″ large-format printer used for CAD drawings, technical documents, posters, and signage. It’s commonly used in AEC offices, retail counters, and classrooms that need reliable large-format output.
What is the best 36-inch Canon printer for an office needing CAD and poster printing?
The TM-340 is Canon’s 36″ model in the TM series, built for CAD drawings and vibrant color posters from the same machine, with a printer stand included standard. If you’re printing daily or in high volume, the TM-350 is a better cost-per-print fit, but for regular office and retail use, the TM-340 covers both needs well.
Does the Canon TM-340 come with a stand?
Yes. Unlike the smaller TM-240, the TM-340’s printer stand ships included standard in the box, so it’s ready to set up without a separate accessory purchase.
How much ink does the Canon TM-340 hold, and can it be upgraded to larger tanks?
The TM-340 uses 55ml ink cartridges, and this size cannot be upgraded to larger tanks. If you print frequently, the ongoing cost per print will be higher than on models with larger cartridges, such as the TM-350, which uses 130ml tanks.
What’s the difference between the Canon TM-340 and the TM-350?
Both are 36″ printers in Canon’s TM series, but the TM-340 uses smaller, non-upgradable 55ml ink cartridges, while the TM-350 uses larger 130ml cartridges with a meaningfully better cost per print. The TM-340 is positioned for lighter, occasional use, while the TM-350 is better suited to regular daily printing.
Does the Canon TM-340 support dual-roll printing?
No. The TM-340 feeds a single roll, upper-loading with front output. It does not have an automatic sheet feeder, though cut sheets can be manually fed using the media locking lever.
Is the Canon TM-340 the best printer for architecture and engineering firms on a budget?
It’s well suited to that use case: fast CAD print speeds (an A1 drawing in as little as 21 seconds), sharp line accuracy, and vivid poster output from the same machine. Whether it’s the best fit depends on your print volume, but among Canon’s imagePROGRAF lineup, it’s a solid mid-range option for AEC offices that print regularly but not at high daily volume.
What print head does the Canon TM-340 use?
It uses the PF-06 print head, the same print head used across the TM-240, TM-240 MFP Lm24, and TM-340 MFP Lm36, though the ink cartridges themselves are specific to this printer format.
What connectivity options does the Canon TM-340 have?
USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi are all built in, along with Apple AirPrint support. It works with both Windows and macOS and supports HP-GL/2, HP RTL, JPEG, and CALS G4 printer languages for CAD and technical drawing workflows.
How much does the Canon TM-340 weigh with the stand?
The main unit with stand weighs approximately 130.5 lbs (59.2 kg), including the roll holder but excluding ink and print head. The full shipping package, including the stand and pallet, weighs approximately 220.5 lbs (100 kg).
