Canon imagePROGRAF TC-20 – Single Function Printer | 24" Large Format Poster & Plotter Printer - Automatic Roll & Cut Sheet Paper Feeder, USB, Wi-Fi, LAN,White

The media could not be loaded. I didn't have any paper to set it up with so I use craft paper (easel paper) to align the head. You can't align the machine without roll paper. This picture was printed on my first print using the same craft paper. Seems like it'll put out good quality posters. Will probably update this over time. Ink is pretty expensive even as a tank printer you're looking at $260 to fill all the tanks every time if you fill all 4.Paper options arent the best and Canon is always out of stock, if you want premium paper for posters. most good paper is "3 core. Also the printer cant exceed 4.3 inch diameter rolls a 5 inch roll will not fit this printer*Update. I now am running Canon paper and it prints beautiful. I would buy this again.Make sure you are changing your resolution and dpi accordingly.Large format it is important to have the proper settings or your prints will be pixelated600 dpi14440x21600 on a 24x36600dpi x 24" = 14400600dpi x 36" =21600Use this formula based on you print size

When it prints it's nice and convenient. But be prepared with your crochet needles while you wait for it to turn on or load paper. It's S*L*O*W. And I hope you like paper jams. Apparently the 20 refers to the number of times per job this printer will jam. It takes hours to print a set of blue prints because when it jams you spend 20 minutes trying to extricate the paper and then another 30 minutes to get the paper loaded. The root issue with jams is a bad paper path design. The bigger printers have a fan inside that pulls the paper flat on the print-bed. This one does not, so you just have to hope your paper will lay flat. Checking Canon's documentation it reveals that the printer needs a very narrow humidity range to operate.... so if you are not working in a clean room you are probably in trouble. I have a spray foam insulated home with 24/7 de-humidification to keep the humidity levels in check when the AC doesn't run enough. Can't imagine trying to use this in a typical office or normal house.

I really like my Canon TC-20. It gives me good clean prints and isn't too slow.The ink can be a little expensive, but it lasts pretty well. I've done several dozen sticker and poster runs on it now, and it is just starting to get low on the black starter inks.The attached picture is a draft poster on low quality paper to do a sizing mock-up and still turned out really well. It looks absolutely beautiful on high-quality paper.As a person who does a ton of stickers and more than a few posters, I'm glad I went this route. Being able to do roll paper has made my life must easier (and saved me a little money).Can recommend for a starter-level plotter for someone just starting their large print journey. I will continue to use this guy for a long time, even after I upgrade to a more commercial-grade printer.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, NOT HAPPY DONT RECOMEND

The original ink runs out very fast since a bunch is used to prime the printer. I printed only about 8 posters and the ink was running out. Posters look great where you don't notice details and exact colors. Photos are way too dark and the detail isn't very good. It's fun to be able to print things so big. Ink is EXPENSIVE especially if you get the Canon ink at $56 per bottle (it uses 4 bottles total). I had trouble getting Microsoft WORD to print 24" wide documents. I used Libre Office Writer instead. Most any software you use gets confused because they don't seem to like roll paper. EDIT: Takes 45 minutes to load the paper. It's SUPER PICKY. The #$%^& paper is in there, PRINT MY POSTER. Don't buy this piece of junk you'll regret it just as much as I do. JUNK.

Not good for quality photos… But great for posters and marketing materials! Photo prints have streaks and colors are not good. (Yes I do clean the heads and calibrate them on a regular basis) I bought it mostly for printing 11X14, & 11X17 and 24X36 photo images, but it just doesn’t do well enough for selling my photo prints. However, I am also a graphite and pastel artist so it will help out with printing pre-drawing markings for dimensional and proportional purposes.

To the point, this is amazing printer. Yes, with the proper ICC profiles (Northlight Images), it can produce quality photos! While they will not have the color range of a 6 color printer, it definitely fits in the “good enough” category if you are looking at printing large photos for home use and aren’t a “print snob”.

This is a great printer. I have made a few great canvas wall pieces with this printer. I love this printer it is great. I recommend as I would most Canon printers.
