Compare the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-350 with the TM-300 M40 scanner package and Epson SureColor T7270D on print width and price.
Formats and purchase prices
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-350 36 Inch Large Format Printer costs $4,999 and is orderable. Start here if the requirement is a 36-inch large-format printer. The alternatives take the purchase in different directions: a Canon configuration with an M40 scanner, or an Epson with a wider format and dual-roll paper handling.
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-300 36 Large-Format Inkjet Printer with M40 Scanner costs $7,995 and is orderable. It occupies the same 36-inch width category as the TM-350. The scanner adds a reason to consider this package beyond sending digital files to a printer.
The Epson SureColor T7270D 44in Dual Roll Large-Format Inkjet Printer costs $6,999 and is orderable. Its 44-inch format addresses wider work, while the dual-roll configuration addresses how paper is kept ready for printing.

When 44 inches changes the job
The first decision is width. Both Canon configurations are in the 36-inch category; the Epson is a 44-inch model. If a job requires media wider than 36 inches, the Epson's larger format becomes a practical requirement rather than an optional extra. Establish that requirement before comparing the prices.
Resizing is not always an acceptable workaround. Reducing a scale-sensitive drawing changes its scale. Reducing a display graphic changes its finished dimensions. A file that can be made smaller on screen does not necessarily remain suitable for the job after that change. Start with the required physical output, not simply whether the artwork can be reduced.
If the work stays within a 36-inch format, the Epson's additional width needs a separate justification. A specific upcoming wider job is one; a vague possibility is less useful for budgeting. Moving from the TM-350 to the TM-300 scanner package, meanwhile, does not move the purchase into a wider printer category. That is a workflow decision, not a width upgrade.
What the TM-300's M40 scanner adds
The TM-300 configuration includes an M40 scanner. Scanning brings a physical original into a digital workflow, which is a different task from printing an existing file. That distinction matters for an office receiving paper documents or working with changes made directly on printed material.
Consider a drawing that comes back with handwritten annotations. Printing the original digital file again does not preserve those new marks. Scanning the marked-up paper provides a way to capture that version. The useful question is how often physical originals need to become digital records, rather than how often the office prints.
A business that already receives its originals digitally has a different purchasing case. If paper capture is occasional, identify the actual work the M40 scanner would handle before choosing the $7,995 package. If it is a regular part of the job, the scanner deserves its own place in the budget. The TM-300's appeal here is the combined printer-and-scanner configuration, not an increase over the TM-350's 36-inch format.
What the Epson's dual-roll configuration changes
The T7270D's dual-roll configuration means two rolls can be kept loaded. That matters when work regularly calls for alternating between rolls: keeping both in the printer can reduce the need to remove one before loading the other. It is a paper-handling consideration separate from the 44-inch format.
Look at what actually interrupts the person operating the printer. If changing rolls is a recurring chore between jobs, a second loaded roll has a practical purpose. If work normally continues on the same roll, that part of the Epson configuration has less to do. Match the feature to an existing pattern of work rather than assuming every office benefits equally.
Width and dual-roll handling should therefore be evaluated separately. Some buyers will consider the Epson because their work requires its 44-inch format. Others will be interested in keeping two rolls ready. A shop with both requirements has a more direct reason to consider the $6,999 Epson than one whose printing stays within a 36-inch format and seldom involves roll changes.
Budgeting for width versus the M40 scanner
The TM-350 has the lowest purchase price here at $4,999. The Epson sits between the two Canon configurations at $6,999, while the TM-300 with M40 scanner is $7,995. These prices do not form a simple progression from smaller to larger: the most expensive package is still a 36-inch printer configuration.
Put each purchase beside the task it needs to address. If the obstacle is a physical original that needs digitizing, consider the M40 scanner package. If the obstacle is required media width, consider the Epson's 44-inch format. Spending more in the wrong direction does not address either problem.
Use actual work to make that distinction. Review recent paper originals to judge the scanner's role, or check the dimensions of planned output to judge the wider format. These are more useful grounds for spending than choosing the higher-priced configuration on the assumption that it must be the better fit.
Who should choose each printer
Choose the Canon TM-350 for print-focused work that calls for a 36-inch format, with purchase price a priority. It is the starting choice for a buyer whose originals are already digital and whose planned output does not require the Epson's wider format. Its $4,999 price gives that buyer the lowest entry point among these three configurations.
Choose the Canon TM-300 with M40 scanner when bringing paper originals into a digital workflow is a recurring responsibility. An office that needs to capture marked-up documents has a concrete use for the included scanner. Select this package for that paper-to-digital task while retaining a 36-inch printer format.
Choose the Epson SureColor T7270D when required output calls for a 44-inch format, or when keeping two rolls loaded addresses regular paper-handling work. It is the relevant choice here for a shop planning wider jobs, particularly if switching between rolls is also part of the working day.
