The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-240 is a compact 24″ large-format printer built for AEC offices, retail, and education environments that need CAD drawings, posters, and signage without the footprint or cost of a production-tier machine. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
This Listing is the Printer Without a Stand
This is the base TM-240 unit only. The optional stand and basket (SD-24) ships separately and is sold as its own accessory. If you need the printer mounted on a stand with a catch basket, add the SD-24 to your order.
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-240 well suited to both precise CAD drawings and eye-catching color posters from the same machine.
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-240 uses 55ml ink cartridges, sized for lighter, occasional printing needs. For businesses printing daily or in higher volumes, the Canon TM-250 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-240 used for?
The TM-240 is a compact 24″ 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 occasional large-format output without the footprint or cost of a production-tier printer.
Does the Canon TM-240 come with a stand?
Not this listing. The TM-240 (w/o Stand) is the printer unit only. The stand and basket (SD-24) is an optional accessory that ships separately and must be purchased on its own if you need the printer mounted with a catch basket.
How much ink does the Canon TM-240 hold, and can it be upgraded to larger tanks?
The TM-240 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-250, which uses 130ml tanks.
What’s the difference between the Canon TM-240 and the TM-250?
Both are 24″ printers in Canon’s TM series, but the TM-240 uses smaller, non-upgradable 55ml ink cartridges, while the TM-250 uses larger 130ml cartridges with a meaningfully better cost per print. The TM-240 is positioned for lighter, occasional use, while the TM-250 is better suited to regular daily printing.
Does the Canon TM-240 support dual-roll printing?
No. The TM-240 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-240 the best printer for classrooms and retail signage on a budget?
It’s purpose-built for that use case: a compact footprint, quiet approximately 39 dB(A) operation, and free-size borderless printing for posters without trimming margins. Whether it’s the best fit depends on your specific volume needs, but among Canon’s imagePROGRAF lineup, it’s the compact, budget-conscious option for occasional large-format printing.
What print head does the Canon TM-240 use?
It uses the PF-06 print head, the same print head used across several other Canon imagePROGRAF TM and TZ series printers, though the ink cartridges themselves are a different, smaller format specific to the TM-240.
What connectivity options does the Canon TM-240 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-240 weigh without the stand?
The printer alone weighs approximately 112.2 lbs (50.9 kg), including the roll holder but excluding ink and print head. The shipping package weighs approximately 156.5 lbs (71 kg). The optional stand and basket ship separately at approximately 44 lbs (20 kg).
