Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21 24-Inch Large Format Printer

The Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21 is a compact 24-inch large format printer that brings A1-capable printing to a desk or a small corner of the office. It handles sharp CAD drawings, posters and presentation prints without the floor space a traditional plotter needs.

If you want a dependable Canon printer for drawings, signage and display graphics, the TC-21 uses 4-colour pigment ink and prints at up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi. You can connect it by Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB, so it fits easily into a home studio, a school or a small business.

In daily use, the built-in auto sheet feeder lets you move between roll paper and cut sheets without a lengthy changeover. You can also send jobs from your phone with the Canon PRINT app.

Key Features

• Compact body (968 x 533 x 245 mm): The slim footprint suits a desk or a small room, so you get large-format output without a dedicated print room.

• Built-in auto sheet feeder: It prints continuously between roll paper and cut sheets, so mixed jobs such as A1 drawings and A4 handouts take less hands-on time.

• Shaftless roll holder: Loading roll paper is simple and needs less space around the printer.

• 4-colour pigment ink (black, cyan, magenta, yellow): You get dense colour and clean line work for posters, plans and signage.

• 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution: Fine detail in drawings and text stays crisp, even on larger prints.

• Minimal-border and borderless printing: Roll prints can run edge to edge at the top and bottom, with about 0.5 mm at the sides. Posters look finished with less trimming.

• 70ml recyclable ink bottles: The ink is easy to refill and recycle, and Canon positions it as low total cost of ownership.

• Tiltable operation panel: You can angle the screen to read it comfortably whether the printer sits on a desk or a stand.

• Wi-Fi, Canon PRINT app and Direct Print Plus: You can print from iOS and Android devices and move between home and office use easily. AirPrint and Mopria are also supported.

• Quiet, eco-conscious design: It carries an EPEAT Gold rating (U.S. registration), uses EPS-free packaging and 40% recycled plastic, and runs at about 41.5 dB(A) when printing.

Why Choose Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21 24-Inch Large Format Printer

The TC-21 is built for people who need big prints but not a big machine. As a compact large format printer for a small office, it lets architects, engineers, designers and shop owners print in-house instead of waiting on an outside print shop.

It is quick for its class. On plain paper, an A1 black-and-white CAD drawing prints in about 30 seconds in standard mode, and an A1 colour drawing in about 1 minute.

Running costs and setup stay manageable too. The printer ships with a 280ml starter ink set, and refills come in 70ml bottles. The roll holder and auto sheet feeder keep daily handling simple.

For buyers comparing options, this Canon printer balances size, print quality and connectivity better than many bulkier alternatives. It also suits shared spaces, since it runs at a low operating noise level.

Best Use Cases

• Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC): CAD drawings, floor plans and site layouts.

• Retail and hospitality: Posters, menus, promotions and in-store signage.

• Schools and education: Project boards, charts and classroom displays.

• Home studios and small offices: On-demand large prints without outsourcing.
