Overview

The Canon PIXMA TS9521C is an all-in-one inkjet printer purpose-built for crafting enthusiasts who need capabilities beyond what standard home printers offer. Its signature feature is 12x12-inch borderless printing, which accommodates standard scrapbook page sizes directly — no trimming or tiling required. It also handles media up to 11x17 inches, supports card stock, and includes a booklet layout copy mode for creating folded booklets. The five individual ink system (cyan, magenta, yellow, pigment black, and dye black) delivers accurate color for both photo prints and craft projects, with Canon's ChromaLife100 technology providing fade resistance rated at up to 100 years in albums.

Beyond crafting, the TS9521C functions as a capable everyday printer. The flatbed scanner with an Auto Document Feeder handles multi-page documents for scanning and copying, while automatic duplex printing saves paper on routine print jobs. Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless printing from phones and tablets, AirPrint and Mopria for native mobile OS support, Ethernet for wired network setups, and USB for direct computer connections. A built-in memory card slot allows printing photos directly from a camera's SD card without a computer. At 21.3 pounds and over 18 inches wide, this is not a compact printer, but its versatility across craft, photo, and document tasks makes it a strong all-in-one choice for creative home offices.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 12x12-inch borderless printing is ideal for scrapbooking and craft projects that standard printers cannot handle
  • Five individual ink tanks reduce waste by letting you replace only the depleted color
  • Versatile connectivity including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPrint, USB, and Ethernet covers virtually any device
  • Built-in flatbed scanner with ADF handles multi-page documents without manual feeding
  • Duplex (two-sided) printing saves paper for everyday document output

👎 Cons

  • At 18.5 x 14.5 x 7.6 inches and 21.3 pounds, it takes up significant desk space
  • Five separate ink cartridges mean higher replacement costs compared to simpler four-ink systems
  • Maximum color print resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi is adequate but not top-tier for fine art photo printing
  • Specialty media like 12x12-inch paper must be fed from the rear tray, which requires clearance behind the printer
