Canon TS9521C Wireless Crafting Printer, 12X12 Printing, White

Comment

I wish there were more stars to give it! I am an avid crafter and scrapbooker. This printer makes my crafting days so much easier! I love the 12x12 printing feature. It also prints borderless and the quality of the print is outstanding! I doubt if I ever buy another brand.

Im a crafter/artist and I really am enjoying this printer. I LOVE that I can print 12 x 12 papers. Its easy to set up and I love the white color. I do use a lot of colored ink so as with all printers Ive had, I do need to change them periodically and they arent cheap. That said, the colors are wonderful. Ive scanned things with no problems as well. Not super quiet but that doesnt bother me. So far Ive been able to print various paper types-cardstock, canvas, photos papers and cotton. Very pleased so far and would recommend up to this point. Ive had it for a few months now.

In addition their customer Service gets 5 stars, no matter what your problem, no matter how old your equipment that are helpful and professional. This is my 2nd Cannon printer, my 1st lasted 10 years without a glitch. this newer model with the extra tanks and the ability to print only in B&W - two sided printing and scanning were the selling points on this model. So far 4 stars the only reason not 5 is because it is slower than others I’ve used, like at work, but the price and the other capabilities are just perfect. I highly recommend this printer. It also was EASY to install…..

The printhead of my mx922 needed to be replaced, so instead I opted to buy this printer. The ink is much more costly than that of the mx922! I use my printers frequently, so I purchased the printhead replacement for my mx922 (i live outside the US, so I saved on shipping by not buying a new mx922, else I would have).... Would save this printer to print my 11"x17" prints. The difference between the mx 922 and this ts9521c for me is fax capability on the mx922 and paper size of 11"x17" on the ts9521c. The ts9521c also comes with templates that I havent used yet. Print quality between the two is about the same.

This is a solid printer, so far. Ive researched all brands and it lead me to this printer for what I need (print, scan, copy). Set up was easy, just follow instructions. Im not using the wireless feature, Im using the USB option. Tip, make sure you have a printer cable (USB) because it doesnt come with one. I had one from my old printer. I read too many bad reviews during my research where customers got fed up with the wireless not working the way it should. Maybe it does work well, Im not using it. Im not talking about this particular model or even Canon, I mean all wireless printers. I used the CD that came with it to install the setup instead of the online option. Very easy. So far, so good. I printed a pic and a document and it was easy and quick. Well see how this printer works months down the line, but for now, it seems solid. Ink is always going to be expensive, just deal with it or find other options that work for you. Ive read many options in different reviews, do your research. I ordered an extra ink cartridge package for this printer when I purchased it. The ink they give you is only used for setup so you have some to use. I read its only for set up and doesnt last long. Buy extra ink just so you have it on hand when you need it. I would recommend this printer for anyone wanting occasional printing at home. This is what I need it for, simple printing of documents (maybe some photos) at home. Sometimes I even go a month or more without printing. Marc

Check the Canon downloads website. OS14 is not listed. I spent 3 hours with Canon tech support and another one with Mac. They could not get the scanner to work. And this is going to be a pain to ship back to Amazon.

The Canon TS9520 has earned the right to be called the best multifunction printer Ive ever owned. Ive easily owned 20 printers over the years but this is the apex of functionality and ease-of-use. SETUP This is Canon’s weakness and this printer was no exception. After you plug it in, it wants you to run the Canon Print app on your phone to pair via Bluetooth and then do the setup from your phone. It doesn’t work. I got through to the point where the app and the printer were able to communicate with each other but then the process hung up and after about 5 minutes I gave up. I then walked over to the printer’s touch screen and pressed the “settings” gear icon and went into the Wi-Fi settings to set it for my local network. After that, things worked beautifully and I was able to have the printer go out to the Internet and fetch and install the latest firmware update. I wish Canon would ditch the useless Canon Print app and resign themselves to doing the configuration through the touch screen! WIRELESS The wireless printing works perfectly from both my Mac and Windows computers. Even AirPrint from my phone works perfectly. Every time. I replaced a Canon TR8520 and that confounded printer always showed up as “offline” from my Windows computer (while working perfectly from my Mac). That problem is gone with the TS9520. What a relief that Canon has finally worked out this issue. AirPrint is especially slick for printing photos. I loaded some 4x6 paper into the back paper feeder on the printer and then went to my phone and selected a photo to print. Upon clicking the share/print button, the TS9520 immediately showed up as a printer choice and it showed the 4x6 paper in the feeder as an optional printing target. I hit print and about a minute and a half later it was done. The printout was excellent; much better than I expected. I’m also the owner of a high quality photo printer (Canon Pro 9000 Mark II) and I don’t think it could have done much better. I’m very impressed and it’s possible that if the 9000 Mark II ever dies, I won’t bother to replace it now that I have the TS9520. COPYING Both single-sided and dual-sided copying worked great. There is one quirk if you copy double-sided to double-sided: after the TS9520 scans one side of each page through its auto-feeder, you have to lift those pages up exactly as they rest in the tray and place them back onto the auto-feeder for a second pass. This is because the TS9520 doesn’t have a way to pull the pages back in and scan the back sides. It actually works fine though but means you can’t just walk away and copy a bunch of two-sided pages: you have to reposition the paper after the first side of each page is scanned. This isn’t a huge deal and having a paper feeder mechanism to do this for me would add a lot of size to the printer. Copies come out amazingly well. I couldn’t tell the difference between the original and the printed copy. I’m quite impressed. SPEED My 4x6 printed in about 80 seconds which is plenty fast. What really surprised me is how quickly it can print a full sheet of text: 5 seconds. Pages seemingly shoot out and yet the print quality is excellent. I would have expected fast printing like this on “draft” mode but to get high quality prints at this speed was unexpected. I’m very happy with the speed. Even my wife commented “wow, this thing prints fast”. SCANNING Wireless scanning works great. I put in a color photo and hit scan and it then asked where I wanted to send the result. One option was my Windows 10 laptop so I clicked that and sure enough, when I walked back to my laptop there was a popup saying that scanning was in progress. About 60 seconds later my “Documents” folder popped open and there was a new JPG file containing my scan. What’s really neat is that it auto-detected that I was scanning a photo so it sent it through as a JPG. I then put on a text document and it scanned the same way and the resulting file was a PDF. Just what you’d want and without any fuss or manual intervention. INK Usage appears to be about “normal”. I find with Canon, the smart thing to do is buy their XL or XXL cartridges. They cost more but hold far more ink than the regular cartridges. Even though the upfront cost is higher, it’s much cheaper in the long run. SUMMARY I’ve tried to find something bad to say about this printer but it has met or exceeded my expectations in every area (except the unneeded Canon Print app). I bought my Canon Pro 9000 Mark II in 2011 and it is working perfectly 7 years later. Canon makes solid products. The features and results from this printer put it to the top of my pedestal for a multi-purpose option. Thanks Canon!

Even though the software had a glitch that prevented me from connecting to WiFi, I give this PIXMA printer four stars because Canons tech support is terrific. It took about an hour on the phone with two different specialists, but they were able to walk me through a fix, and now the printer works as advertised. This is my third Canon printer, Ive liked them all, and although I encountered a few technical issues on all three, Canon is unparalleled in its commitment to customer support. Theyre easy to get on the phone, and they hang with you until the problem is fixed. The WiFi connection issue was due to a hiccup in the software that would not enable me to manually enter my modem password. Tech support eventually was able to guide me through a hack that got the the modem to deliver the password to the printer through my Windows PC via a USB connection. The tech on the phone said he didnt know why it worked, but he was glad it did, and so was I. What I like about the Canon PIXMA TS9520: It prints beautiful photos, it allows me to print photos onto DVD discs, it can print larger pages than most other printers, it has a new touchscreen control center that folds out, and it has a smaller profile than my previous PIXMA printers. Im not thrilled that Canon builds into its printers the ability to recognize generic ink cartridges. It warns you that printing will not work with generic ink cartridges ... an obvious ploy to maximize profits, because Canon ink cartridges are expensive. My old PIXMA MX922 worked just fine using cheaper, generic ink cartridges, even though it sent me the same message saying that it would not work. When the Canon ink runs out on my new PIXMA TS9520, Ill probably try generic ink again. If it truly fails to operate with generic ink, Ill be disappointed. One other word on Canon inkjet games: the popup that tells you an ink cartridge is almost empty, with flashing lights and an X on the cartridge icon, is a ploy, too. They want you to throw it out and buy a new one. Ive found I can print good quality for weeks with an "almost empty" cartridge. My advice is to keep printing until you see a change in quality, then replace the cartridge. But I dont want to bash Canon. I like PIXMA printers a lot, and I love Canons customer support.

There is nothing I like about this printer. Nothing. And for the price, I expected way more. I’ve had it for 2 days now, and have had nothing but problem after problem. For example: 1. There are black streaks on the back of every single page I print now. Started after paper jammed. 2. Went through 2 cleaning cycles to try to correct the issue, which used up HALF of my very expensive ink! I didn’t even do the deep clean, which warns you it will use a lot of ink. 3. Ink goes FAST. I’ve literally printed less than 20 pages total since I got the printer, and cleaned it twice, and the ink it came with (at least the Cyan and Magenta) are over half gone! 4. Anything other than standard printer paper jams like crazy in the lower paper cartridge. If you use slightly thicker paper, you MUST use the back paper tray, which sticks out quite a bit in the back, which means you have to keep the printer far away from the wall and drastically reduces precious desk space. 5. There are lines across everything in the top 2 inches of anything I print. This is after using their automatic print head alignment feature and cleaning twice. I can’t use this printer for my business with lines across everything. 6. Found out I cannot use off-brand ink cartridges, and I have to use Canon’s RIDICULOUSLY expensive ink. Nope. Not going to happen, Canon. Go ahead and be greedy. I’ll never buy another product from you as long as I live. I’ll just go back to Brother printers or try HP or Epson. Much less hassle! Keep in mind that I’ve only had this printer a couple of days and it’s already screwing up big time in many ways. I am definitely returning this printer!

I am so pleased with this printer, Canon has done it again. I paid more than I usual would but I wanted a printer without a fax and to have more photo quality. The photo quality and the speed in which it prints is excellent. It has 5 ink tanks which is great to just replace one at a time. I buy the XL which seem to last a long time. I print a lot of photos and do home office work so I was very pleased with the speed and print quality. Best Printer I have ever had, and this is my third printer. I would highly recommend this printer.
