Canon imagePROGRAF TM-355 36-Inch CAD and Poster Printer
Canon imagePROGRAF TM-355 is a 36-inch large-format printer designed for businesses producing CAD drawings, architectural plans, GIS maps, posters, signage and presentation graphics. It combines fast technical-document output with vivid pigment color and a built-in 500GB encrypted hard drive, giving architecture, engineering, construction, education, government and retail teams a productive shared printing system.
The included stand and flat stacking basket create a complete floor-standing setup. Canon’s flat-top design, full-front operation and adjustable 4.3-inch touchscreen make roll loading, media checks and ink-level monitoring easier in offices where space and operator time matter.

Fast 36-Inch CAD Printing for Project Deadlines
The TM-355 can produce a 24 × 36 inch Arch D CAD drawing in approximately 17 seconds, or up to about 3.2 pages per minute in Fast Economy mode. Its 2400 × 1200 dpi maximum resolution and 15,360-nozzle PF-06 print head support precise lines, readable annotations and clean technical graphics.
Architecture firms, engineering departments and construction teams can print plan sets quickly while also producing maps, classroom displays, retail graphics and presentation posters on the same machine.
500GB Encrypted Hard Drive for Shared Workgroups
The built-in 500GB encrypted hard drive is the key difference between the TM-355 and the Canon TM-350. It provides space for stored print jobs and protected mailboxes, allowing authorized users to reprint frequently used files from the printer or a web browser without resending each job from a computer.
Local job storage can also reduce processing demands on a connected workstation. This makes the TM-355 the better choice for medium and large workgroups that share a printer or repeatedly produce the same drawings, maps and presentation materials.
Five-Color LUCIA TD Pigment Ink
The five-color system uses Matte Black, Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow pigment inks. Matte Black supports dense technical lines on plain paper, while Canon’s enhanced magenta formulation improves red color development for posters and attention-grabbing graphics.
Choose PFI-120/PFI-121 130 mL tanks or higher-capacity PFI-320/PFI-321 300 mL tanks based on production volume. Browse Canon ink for compatible replacements.
Automatic Media Detection and Front Operation
Automatic media detection identifies media type, roll width and remaining roll length, then displays that information on the home screen. The top-loading single-roll system handles media from 8 to 36 inches wide, while individual cut sheets can be fed manually.
A rotary cutter trims compatible roll output automatically. The stacking basket can organize multiple technical drawings, helping workgroups keep plan sets together instead of collecting mixed output from the floor.
Wireless and Network Printing
Built-in Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed USB support direct and shared-office workflows. Supported printer languages include HP-GL/2, HP RTL, PDF, JPEG and CALS G4, helping the TM-355 integrate with common CAD and technical-document environments.
Compatible Canon utilities include Direct Print Plus for batch jobs, Free Layout Plus for nesting and layouts, Accounting Manager for tracking print costs and PosterArtist for creating signs and posters.
Why Choose the Canon TM-355?
The TM-355 is best for organizations that need 36-inch output, larger 130 mL or 300 mL ink options and onboard job storage for a shared team. Businesses that do not need the encrypted hard drive can compare the TM-350, while teams requiring scanning and copying should select a compatible MFP configuration.
