The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-250 is a 24″ large-format printer built for AEC offices, retail, and education environments printing CAD drawings, posters, and signage on a regular basis. Unlike the entry-level TM-240, the TM-250 uses upgradable ink tanks, making it the better fit for daily or higher-volume printing. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
Upgradable Ink for Better Cost Per Print
The TM-250 ships with 130ml Matte Black and 90ml Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow starter ink, upgradable to larger 130ml or 300ml replacement cartridges. This flexibility gives regular users meaningfully better cost-per-print than the TM-240’s fixed 55ml cartridges, making the TM-250 the better choice for daily or high-volume printing needs.
5-Color LUCIA TD Pigment Ink
A newly formulated magenta ink joins the 5-color LUCIA TD pigment system (Matte Black, Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) for more brilliant red color reproduction and sharper, more stable line quality, well suited to both precise CAD drawings and eye-catching color posters from the same machine.
Fast Production Speed
The TM-250 prints an Arch D (24″x36″) sheet at approximately 2.9 to 3.2 pages per minute, faster than the entry-level TM-240, with color calibration to keep output consistent over time and across multiple TM Series devices.
Compact, Intuitive Design
An adjustable touchscreen displays media type, remaining roll amount, and ink levels at a glance. Automatic media detection and a quick return from sleep mode keep the printer ready to go, and the printer stand with stackable basket ships included standard.
Connectivity and Compatibility
The printer connects via USB, Gigabit Ethernet, or Wi-Fi. 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-250 used for?
The TM-250 is a 24″ large-format printer used for CAD drawings, technical documents, posters, and signage. It’s built for offices and print environments that print regularly, thanks to its upgradable ink cartridges.
What is the best 24-inch Canon printer for daily CAD and poster printing?
The TM-250 is Canon’s step-up model over the entry-level TM-240, using upgradable 130ml or 300ml ink cartridges instead of fixed 55ml tanks. For businesses printing daily or in higher volume, this makes the TM-250 the better cost-per-print option in the 24″ TM series lineup.
What’s the difference between the Canon TM-250 and the TM-240?
Both are 24″ printers in Canon’s TM series, but the TM-240 uses smaller, fixed 55ml ink cartridges, while the TM-250 uses upgradable 130ml or 300ml cartridges with meaningfully better cost per print. The TM-250 is also faster, printing an Arch D sheet at approximately 2.9 to 3.2 ppm versus the TM-240’s slower speed.
Can I upgrade the ink tank size on the Canon TM-250?
Yes. The TM-250 ships with 130ml/90ml starter ink but supports replacement cartridges in either 130ml (PFI-120/121 series) or 300ml (PFI-320/321 series), giving you flexibility to reduce cost per print as your printing volume grows.
Does the Canon TM-250 come with a stand?
Yes. The printer stand with stackable basket ships included standard in the box.
Does the Canon TM-250 support dual-roll printing?
No. The TM-250 feeds a single roll, top-loading with front output, and does not have an automatic sheet feeder.
Is the Canon TM-250 the best printer for an AEC office that prints every day?
It’s well suited to that use case: upgradable ink cartridges for better cost per print, faster production speed than the entry-level TM-240, and sharp CAD line quality alongside vivid poster output. Whether it’s the best fit depends on your specific volume, but for regular daily printing in the 24″ category, it’s a strong option in Canon’s TM series.
What print head does the Canon TM-250 use, and how much does it cost to replace?
It uses the PF-06 print head, priced at approximately $523.00 for a replacement.
How much do replacement ink cartridges cost for the Canon TM-250?
130ml ink cartridges (PFI-120/121 series) run approximately $94.00 each, while 300ml cartridges (PFI-320/321 series) run approximately $169.00 each, giving you a lower per-milliliter cost at the larger size for higher-volume printing.
How much does the Canon TM-250 weigh with the stand?
The printer with stand weighs approximately 131.4 lbs, with a full shipping package weight of approximately 209.4 lbs including the stand, basket, and pallet.
