Canon imagePROGRAF TM Series: 8 New Large-Format Printers Launched, Pakistan Price Not Announced Yet

Canon has refreshed its large-format lineup. The company announced eight new imagePROGRAF TM series models, and the headline feature is one buyers have waited for: the TM series finally gets multifunction models with a built-in large-format scanner. For architecture firms, engineering offices, and print shops that print CAD drawings, blueprints, and posters, this is the biggest TM update in years.

Before you read further, one honest note: Canon has not announced Pakistan pricing or a Pakistan launch date for any of these models. The official announcement covers availability through Canon resellers in EMEA from October 2026, and Canon India has announced the range for the Indian market. No Pakistani outlet or seller has listed these models yet, and this article will not guess at prices. Everything below comes from Canon’s own announcement and the international tech press that covered it.

The eight new models in the imagePROGRAF TM series

The announcement came from Canon Singapore, the company’s headquarters for South and Southeast Asia, on 16 September 2026. The new range has six printer-only models and two multifunction (MFP) models:

The TM-5510 is worth special attention. It succeeds the TM-5250, which was one of the most widely adopted large-format printers among jobbers, photo studios, and print shops, according to coverage of the launch. If your office runs an older TM-5200 or TM-5250 series machine, the TM-5510 is the direct upgrade path in this generation.

First MFPs with a built-in large-format scanner

The two MFP models, the 36-inch TM-5610M and the 24-inch TM-5510M, are the first multifunction models in the TM series. Until now, buyers who wanted to scan large drawings needed a separate large-format scanner, which costs extra money and eats floor space. The new MFPs fold printing, copying, and scanning into one machine that Canon says is comparable in size to the printer-only models.

The scanner sits in a flat-top design. You place the original on top of the machine, so copying and scanning work like a normal office copier, just much wider. Canon says the built-in scanner uses light sources on both sides of the scanning mechanism, which reduces shadows, wrinkles, and creases in the scanned image. Anyone who has scanned an old folded blueprint knows how much those creases show up in a scan, so this is a practical improvement rather than a spec-sheet trick.

The touchscreen gets scan presets for different document types: CAD drawings, blueprints, and maps each have their own preset, so you do not have to tune settings by hand for every job. The panel is a 5-inch touchscreen with the same style of interface Canon uses on its office multifunction devices, and menus can be customised for the business. Canon also mentions sensor compensation technology that keeps colour accuracy stable across scans.

Sharper drawings and bolder posters

All eight models use a 5-colour pigment ink system with a newly developed matte black. Canon says the new black ink has stronger black density, which gives deeper blacks, crisper lines, and clearer text when printing technical drawings at high speed. For offices that print hundreds of CAD sheets a week, line sharpness is the number that matters most, and Canon is pushing it as the main print-quality gain of this generation.

For creative work, Canon added a new colour mapping technology that pushes colour output even on plain paper. The point is simple: print shops and retail stores can produce vivid posters without always loading expensive coated media. Canon’s press material shows the TM-5610M printing retail posters, which is the exact use case many small print shops in Pakistan already serve for local businesses.

Compact design for tight offices

Canon designed the whole range for front-access operation. You load paper, swap ink, and take finished prints from the front of the machine, so the printer can sit against a wall without leaving space behind it. In small Pakistani offices and crowded print shops, floor space is money, and this design respects that.

The company also worked in some recycled material: roughly 5 percent recycled iron and 25 percent recycled plastic in the printer body, based on the total mass of iron and plastic used. It will not change your print quality, but it is a factor for companies with environmental targets in their buying rules.

What this launch means for Pakistan

Let us be direct about the Pakistan picture. As of today, there is no confirmed Pakistan launch date and no PKR pricing for any of the eight models. Canon’s announcement confirms availability from October 2026 through resellers in EMEA, and Canon India has announced the same range for India, but neither Canon Pakistan nor any Pakistani seller has listed the new models. This article will be updated when official Pakistan pricing is announced. Nothing here is a guess.

Who should care about this launch in Pakistan? Architecture and engineering firms that print CAD drawings daily, print shops that serve them, and retail and restaurant businesses that order posters and signage. The TM-5510 matters most as the successor to the TM-5250, a machine that many Pakistani print shops already run. When the new range reaches local dealers, it will also be worth watching whether prices on the outgoing models drop, which often happens after a launch like this.

If your printing needs are smaller, Canon and other brands already sell well-priced options in Pakistan. For small offices, see the Canon PIXMA G3020 price in Pakistan for a refillable ink-tank option from Canon itself. For heavy small-office printing, the Epson EcoTank L3250 price in Pakistan and the Epson EcoTank L3210 price in Pakistan remain the value picks, and for basic monochrome office work the HP LaserJet M111a price in Pakistan is still one of the cheapest laser printers you can buy locally.

The bottom line: the imagePROGRAF TM refresh is real and significant, the first TM MFPs with scanners are a genuine step forward, and Pakistan buyers now have a clear reason to wait a little before buying an outgoing TM model. What we cannot tell you yet is the price or the date, and we would rather say that plainly than invent numbers.

FAQs

What is the price of the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-5610M in Pakistan?
Canon has not announced Pakistan pricing for the TM-5610M or any other model in the new range. The official announcement only confirms availability through resellers in EMEA from October 2026. This article will be updated when local pricing is confirmed.

When will the new imagePROGRAF TM models launch in Pakistan?
There is no confirmed Pakistan launch date yet. Canon India has announced the range for India, which is often a sign that regional availability follows, but Pakistani buyers should watch Canon Pakistan’s dealers for the first listings.

Which new model should an architecture firm choose?
If you scan large drawings, the 36-inch TM-5610M gives you print, copy, and scan in one machine. Smaller offices can look at the 24-inch TM-5510M. If you already own a separate large-format scanner, one of the six printer-only models, like the TM-5510, will cost less.

Can the new scanner handle old, creased blueprints?
Canon says the built-in scanner uses light sources on both sides to reduce shadows, wrinkles, and creases, and it has presets for blueprints and CAD drawings. That should help with folded originals, but real-world results will still depend on how damaged the paper is.
