Plot it’s take on the Canon TC-21 printer vs TM-240
At Plot it, we love the functionality and flexibility of the Canon A1 Printer TC-21. It’s a truly cost-effective entry point for anyone needing occasional wide-format printing, whether for CAD drawings, plans, or vibrant posters. Thanks to its 4-colour pigment ink system, the Canon TC-21 printer delivers excellent line accuracy and solid colour output for quick messaging and POS posters. And even if you’re not a designer, Canon’s free web-based PosterArtist tool makes it easy to create eye-catching graphics and signage in minutes.
That said, for users who print more frequently, we suggest considering the Canon TM-240. While the TC-21 Canon A1 printer has refillable 70ml bottles, the TM-240’s cartridge-based inks offer a lower cost per ml over time and support longer 150m rolls (and even 3″ core media or vinyl with an optional adapter). The TM-240 also includes a stand and print basket as standard, narrowing the initial price gap once these are added to the TC-21.
Simply put, the TC-21 A1 and A2 printer excels in low-volume environments where footprint and affordability matter most, but the TM-240 delivers better long-term value for those printing more regularly.
