A plotter, yes, that model, no.
At $1300, price doesn't seem too expensive.
Are they any good?

Doesnt "seem", but them bitches are a pain in the ass, and EAT ink, and the paper is EXPENSIVE.
You're better off just paying for the copies you need from a local source.
If you're buying this machine to print on anything other than roll-fed printer paper, be aware. Trying to load sheets into the top is an exercise in pure frustration. I have spent on average an hour of hair-pulling grief for every one sheet I manage to actually load into this thing. The sheets are always askew (even when perfectly aligned with the "guide marks", and it just makes me start again. Ad nauseum. I'm haunting Canon when I am finally allowed to perish. When you actually DO get it to take the paper however, it's quiet and the quality is decent, which is why I can't in good conscience, rate it a single star.
I picked this model based on all of my previous experience with Canon printers and plotters. I've had nothing but bad experiences with HP, which is what I was replacing with this purchase. My old HP T730 still worked fine, but the print time and technical issues were driving me crazy, so I sold the HP and bought this Canon TA-20. The setup was a simple process of following prompts and directions, and within 20-minutes of starting the setup process, I was printing 24" x 30" architectural drawings. I printed 33 sheets @ 24" x 30", in color, in less time that it would have taken me to print 10 sheets, in B&W, on my old HP, which cost 3 times as much as this Canon. I am currently 100% satisfied.

...even a Canon, eh?
The reviews say that the HP's are the ones which are the pain in the ass, but Canon are only slightly behind in that dept:

Not that exact model but in my line of work we often use similar style printers to print building plans, geologic maps, and topographic maps.

The ones at my previous two employers were the big rolling paper plotters. I believe they were 48" wide and however long as needed. We'd roll up the finished plans (which might be 30-40 sheets on some projects) and they'd be a tight fit in the back of my truck. You wanted them fairly large though so you cod accurately plot things on the plans without really crowding the map. That helped the GIS people do an accurate final electronic plot.
Joe you're such a nerd!
It's ok man, I think most of us have a nerdy streak...
I'm partial to Batman and retro 90's WWF rasslin' ffs. Confused 5
Yeah we have it here, but I would never pay to watch that leftist propaganda outlet....
The poido scandal they had a few months back should have ruined them, but it's been forgotten about.
It just goes to show how fucked western society is nowadays when sexualising children receives less bad press and public outrage than racism and un-PC views.

Yeah, everything is becoming so politicized now.
Even sports. I actually used to like watching basketball until the NBA endorsed BLM.
I mean, WTF? I didn't watch it because of the player's race, just if they could put the ball in the hoop and provide entertainment.
Same thing happened to hockey, where the best player in the NHL, a White Canadian, was criticized for not being political and bowing on one knee or hating Trump.
These guys were never trained ta be politicians of social activists, but athletes.
I don't know if soccer has become that polarized, but the political bs has become too much & it's starting to take over professional sports in North America.
