The large-format imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 series earned the prestigious honor of a 2022 iF Design Award, as announced by Canon Inc., the parent company of Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions.

The imagePROGRAF TZ-30000, which has the fastest printing speed of any imagePROGRAF printer to date at up to 4-D size prints per minute, garnered recognition from the world-renowned iF Design Awards from the Hanover, Germany-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, the world’s oldest independent design organization.

Helping earn the award for the imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 was a multitude of included "Canon First" technologies built in, such as, an integrated top stacker that utilizes an air flow system, a dual roll media system with intelligent media handling and twin carriage motors

The imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 MFP Z36 was designed as a high-end hybrid product with productivity and usability in mind, providing a powerful scan-to-copy/file system that allows the user to scan and print at the same time. Providing further efficiency and productivity, the imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 MFP includes the Z36 scanner, developed by Global Scanning for Canon, as well as an updated system controller with an intuitive interface.

“The imagePROGRAF TZ-3000 has been able to combine high-speed and high-quality to meet the needs of fast-paced businesses working to tight deadlines and is deserving of this award,” said Tim Greene, research director, Hardcopy Solutions at IDC.
