Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M 24″ A1 MFP Printer 7058C003AA
The Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M 24″ A1 MFP is the updated multifunction model in Canon’s compact TC range, replacing the Canon TC-20M. Designed for professional large format printing in smaller workspaces, it combines A1 printing, copying and scanning in one affordable desktop device:
- Faster print speeds across CAD, posters, and coated media
- Sharper, denser colours, and improved image processing
- Broader OS compatibility (up to macOS 14 & Windows Server 2025)
- Expanded media options (more cut sheet sizes, envelopes, and user-defined sizes)
- Borderless printing support
- More creative scanning-to-print functions
- Slightly lower power usage and more eco-friendly construction
- Improved wireless connectivity (adds 802.11ac)
It uplifts the Canon ImagePROGRAF TC-21 printer only with the inclusion of an A4 scanner and innovative software – which allows stitching of larger documents. It’s ideal for enlarging A4 originals to poster-sized output.
It takes its engineering and design cues from the highly popular and established imagePROGRAF series but offers a more compact desktop solution for small studios or home use.
The Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M features a bottle fed continuous ink system. With sustainability in mind, the easy to recycle large 70ml plastic ink bottles reduce refill frequency and can be recycled in your normal waste rather than sending back to the manufacturer in the post as they feature no chip, so you can simply dispose of locally.
Ink included
As a bonus, the Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M ships with an industry leading 280ml of free starter ink worth £199. The 4 colour refill system is easily accessed from the side, enabling you to simply slot in and twist so the ink can be deposited in the reservoir. With a capacity slightly larger than the actual bottles, you can top up as you like.
Featuring both an online roll feed for A1 or A2 output, the Canon TC-21M also benefits from a tray feed. It supports cut sheets of paper with a capacity of 50 A3 or 100 A4. This is ideal for all your site plans. A1 and A2 are cut from the roll to size. You can also default A3 prints to the tray. The roll feed benefits from a shaftless, spindleless roll holder, making paper changes easy and reduces the space needed for paper changes.
Who is the Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M best for?
The Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M is well suited to small offices, education settings, marketing teams, architects, construction users, retail environments and home studios that need reliable A1 output without a large floor-standing printer.
As a Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M MFP, it is especially useful where users need to print, copy and scan from one compact device. The built-in A4 flatbed scanner makes it easy to enlarge sketches, plans, drawings, handouts and marketing materials up to A1.
Canon also positions the TC-21M for small offices, retail, education and AEC users, so this section lines up with the manufacturer’s own product positioning.
Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M MFP functionality
It features a market-first A4 flatbed scanner to create a range of output including, prints from hand sketches, enlarged marketing materials, personalised wrapping paper, and much more.
Canon TC-21M hits a number of business uses. With its compact nature, it’s ideal for small work environments. However, it still boasts some significant tools for more complex needs. This includes an easy print submission tool for construction and engineering users. For creatives or even non-creatives, there’s an easy poster creation tool with stacks of free images and templates, making it ideal for POS needs.
Canon TC-21M vs Canon TC-21
The Canon TC-21 is the print-only model, while the Canon imagePROGRAF TC-21M adds multifunction capability with an integrated A4 flatbed scanner. Choose the TC-21M if you want to print, copy and scan from one compact A1 device, or if you regularly need to enlarge smaller originals into large format posters, plans or display materials.
