Canon TS9521C Wireless Crafting Printer, 12X12 Printing, White

Comment

I was so excited about this printer as I am a card and scrapbook crafter. However, no one has 12 x 12 paper the weight required for this printer. How can Cannon make a printer that you can’t find paper for??? I am very disappointed!

The printer did manage to print on sticker paper, however the blues was too dark. I called tech support, but we could not adjust it regardless of the setting chosen. Also, when I was opening the ink packages it came with, I followed the instructions and the damn ink pitched all over me. It went on the floor, on my face, and on my clothes! Ridiculous quality control! Ive never had that happen with any of Canons inks before! I own a Pixma ip110 and bought this to replace it for heavy duty prints. But this is going back.

The Canon TS9520, if not used for a time, takes a long time to respond to a print command. Canon tech support tells me that if the printer is not used for about one hour, it goes into a "cool-down" mode, and will then take some time to "warm up". This is done to extend the life of the print head. My experience is that the "cool-down" begins much less than one hour after a print command, and takes 20-60 seconds to "warm up". Otherwise, the printer is fine, but the "warmup" delay is very annoying; failure to mention this in the Amazon description is a very important omission.

Right out of the box this printer showed a paper jam error - I knew it was not a brand new printer - back it goes.

I was a little anxious about all the negative reviews regarding setup for canon printers. However, setup for this printer was a breeze. No issues there. Ive already printed several full page pattern papers and the amount of ink left is satisfactory. I also tried printing a 4x6 photo and the printer worked beautifully. The only possible negative comment that I could make about this printer is that you lose quality when you print small images (about 1.5x2in photos). But I have another photo printer for small photos so this is not a big deal. It does everything else beautifully and I would recommend it for crafters.

Dead on arrival. Ugh. Now have to wait a week for replacement. I have always used Canon, hoping for better replacement. Would not even turn on. 6004 error, pulled power, re plugged. Ugh. Canon response: send in for repair. Yeah, that is why I use Amazon Prime. Will update next week.

I had used Epson printers exclusively up to now, but I was so frustrated with ink leakage and ink streaking on everything I printed, I did my research and came up with this printer. I haven’t had it long, but I am impressed with how clean the prints are! As for photos, i’m Still working with ICC profiles to get the same colors to print right on my Ilford paper, but i’m Hopeful i’ll Get there. I’m also excited by the possibilities of printing bigger...overall, very impressed...so far!!!

I bought this because I wanted a great scanner and printer. The scanner on this all-in-one is crap. The ADF cant handle the bank statements I receive and theyre not on super high quality paper. They jam very regularly. The ADF can only handle about 5 pages at a time or it jams. The ADF pulls papers in crooked so most are scanned at an angle. The scans immediately started getting a streak across them when I used the ADF and cleaning the ADF paten didnt clear up the issue. After 30-45 minutes of scanning the device begins to overheat so it slows to a crawl. Double-sided scanning requires manually turning over the papers and using software on the computer to organize them; it often puts them in a PDF at a 90 degree angle from how they are scanned which boggles my mind. Compared to my previous Canon MX922 which died after five years, this is a downgrade even though it cost twice as much! It feels very lightweight, flimsy and cheap compared to the MX922. Overall, it was more frustrating than anything else. I gave up and sent it back; Im buying a Brother instead.

Cannon uses Macs air print as the driver for this printer vs writing their own. The limitations of this driver are very disappointing. I spoke with Cannon tech support before I bought this printer and then again for hours after I bought the printer, trying to figure out how to do the things it advertises as possible. My biggest complaint is the paper handling. It takes multiple steps to print from the rear tray which is required to print anything other than standard computer paper. There are no selections for choosing cardstock or transparencies which I would think a printer advertised as a crafters printer would indicate, especially as it touts being able to print on up to 80# cardstock. The quality of the printing on standard computer paper is fine. Cant say that about everything else. The next step up to print what I want to do within the Cannon family is a pro printer at a $500 price point.

I bought this printer (Canon TS9521C) to print occasional 11x17" and color documents, and I am not sure if Im going to keep it. I was debating between it and the Brother MFC-J5930DW, and I think I made the wrong choice. The TS9521C doesnt have a real paper tray for large paper. You can fold out the "back tray" (really a manual feed) at 45 degrees and the last 4" of the 11x17" sticks off the end and curls down. This makes it inadequate for long-term storage of paper. Also, it only accommodates about 3/8" of paper (100 pages). See photo, with tray open and loaded with 11x17 paper (background other than the printer is darkened and blurred -- sorry it makes the printer look kinda weirdly halo-lit.) I printed the front page PDF of a Sunday New York Times on 11x17" paper (77% scale) and it took 5 minutes (and 21 seconds) to print! On the other hand, the print quality was excellent, better than the color laser Im used to. Normal line drawings without color photographs seem to print at a more reasonable speed (not worth timing). Overall the entire printer feels flimsy. Various doors dont feel like they totally click into place and the front paper cassette (letter only) seems it might be easy to break. Same with the unfolding the accordian door to open the rear paper tray — the plastic-on-plastic sliding is not smooth. Theres something odd about the page order, it seems like by default it prints documents in reverse order, and seemed to flip sheets 180-degrees on alternate pages in a test document. None of that is a big deal. After some soul-searching, I decided to return the Canon so I bought the Brother and now I have them both to compare. The Brother prints the same NYT test page way faster, like a minute or less. The scanner also scans white backgrounds as grey. I’ve included the same image scanned on both. The background on the Canon scans as 11% grey, but on the Brother it’s (properly) 0% grey (100% white). Ive attached images comparing the two scans. (The bw document was printed on a third laser printer. The NYT page scan was printed on the Brother.) The Canon also cannot scan duplex. On the other hand, the Brother is huge, and the Canon is much smaller. But presumably you knew that.
