Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon PlotWave 450 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print 200 to 500 A1 plots a month in a 10-25 person CAD shop.
  • You need FIPS-compliant disk encryption for federal or client work.
  • You'll use the third-roll option for vellum, mylar, and bond.
  • You want 8 ppm A1 throughput without stepping into production class.
  • You'll integrate with AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM 360.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you accept the Windows 8 POWERsync controller.
  • It's fine if you keep dual-roll for the first year.
  • It's fine if 600 x 1200 dpi works for your line drawings.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you want the modern Windows 10 IoT controller (move to the PlotWave 5000).
  • Skip this if you stay under 100 sheets a month (the PlotWave 365 is cheaper).
  • Skip this if you need 10 ppm A1.
  • Skip this if you need color wide-format.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Canon's PlotWave 450 steps the PlotWave 365 up to 8 A1/D-size pages per minute on the same chassis — a wide-format mono printer for high-volume CAD, engineering, and architectural workgroups that need the third-roll option for mixed media. Resolution is 600 x 1200 dpi, instant-on is 30 seconds from sleep to first print, and Oce Radiant Fusing technology delivers reliable long-life results. The Windows 8 POWERsync controller runs ClearConnect touchscreen workflow, security covers FIPS-compliant disk encryption and HTTPS, and the heavy-duty construction is rated for 24-roll media handling across optional drawers. Optional CCD scanner adds 1200 x 1200 dpi blueprint capture, and the Express CIS scanner option captures at faster speeds for high-volume archival. Footprint is roughly 60 x 32 inches and weight is around 560 lb. Power requirements are 110-127 V at 12 A and the chassis is rated for daily 8-hour production runs. Honest regret: 8 ppm A1 is the sweet spot for most architecture firms, but the older Windows 8 controller is showing its age — the PlotWave 5000 is the modern equivalent at the same speed.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

Canon PlotWave 450, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (704) 741-0821 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Canon PlotWave 450 ships with a starter toner kit, which includes two 450g toner bottles and a waste toner container, yielding approximately 1,000–1,200 A1/D-size prints. Replacement toner kits, such as the Océ Genuine OEM PlotWave 450/550 Toner Kit (2x450g bottles), are designed for high-volume use. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Canon PlotWave 450 is a monochrome wide-format printer designed for CAD and architectural prints at 8 A1/D-size pages per minute, while the Arizona 1240 GT is a color flatbed UV-curable inkjet printer for signage and rigid substrates. The PlotWave uses toner and handles roll media, whereas the Arizona prints directly on materials like wood, glass, and acrylic up to 4x8 feet. The PlotWave is ideal for technical documents, while the Arizona is built for high-quality graphics. For small offices needing wide-format prints, the PlotWave 450 offers a more compact and cost-effective solution.
The Canon PlotWave 450 is suitable for small businesses with high-volume CAD or architectural printing needs, offering 8 A1/D-size prints per minute and a robust 24-roll media capacity. However, its monochrome output and large footprint (60 x 32 inches) may be excessive for general office use.
No, the Canon PlotWave 450 is a monochrome-only printer designed for black-and-white wide-format prints. For color alternatives, consider the Canon imagePROGRAF TA-30, Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100, or the Canon Arizona 1240 GT for flatbed color printing.
