Auckland, NEW ZEALAND – 29 April 2025: Enhancing its comprehensive portfolio of large format solutions, Canon today launches the imagePROGRAF TC-21, a four-colour (CMYK), easy-to-use, large format desktop printer. Targeted at customers in the architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), design, hospitality, retail and education sectors, the new printer builds on the success of the TC-20 model, launched in 2023. It delivers even more benefits through features including expanded media handling capabilities, a convenient tiltable operation panel, minimal margin printing and an improved resource efficient design. While compact in size, the TC-21 supports printing up to A1+, making it suitable for applications such as architectural and design drawings, restaurant menus, retail posters and educational materials. Using the standard Auto Sheet Feeder (ASF), this printer can also print a variety of other applications, such as flyers on A5/A6 papers, labels, postcards and envelopes.
Space-saving design with improved usability
The space-efficient imagePROGRAF TC-21 is designed to allow users to perform all printing operations from the front of the unit, including paper loading, ink filling and print collection. The new tiltable operation panel offers greater flexibility in where the printer can be installed and also enhanced usability, as the angle of the panel can be easily adjusted to the user's view, making the printer convenient to operate whether placed on a desk or low shelf.
The TC-21 supports printing from roll paper up to A1+ wide and features a standard Auto Sheet Feeder (ASF) compatible with various paper sizes and types, including sheets from A3 to A6, postcards, envelopes and labels. This flexibility allows users to print the same content in different sizes - such as A1 scale drawings for submission alongside A4 versions for review, or large restaurant menu posters with matching table-sized flyers.
New features for enhanced design impact
The TC-21 introduces a new "Minimal Margin Printing1 function that allows printing on roll paper without any top or bottom margin and with only very small (approximately 0.5mm) left and right margins, maximising the printable image size. Adopting an image processing method similar to higher-end imagePROGRAF models2, this printer produces dense and vivid colours even on plain paper. High-capacity ink tanks enable efficient printing in the desktop printer range, while Canon's free web-based PosterArtist poster design software, already used by thousands of imagePROGRAF users every month to create posters, makes it easy to create professional-looking posters and flyers that meet diverse business needs.
Resource conservation design
For the first time in the Canon imagePROGRAF series, recycled steel has been used in the body of the TC-21, along with recycled resin for approximately 40% of the body resin3 - a significant improvement over the previous model, TC-20. Recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene foam is used for packaging this product, also reducing its environmental impact.
Yoshinori Moritaki, Director, Sales & Support Group at Canon Oceania comments, “As demand for on-site large-format printing continues to rise across industries such as retail, hospitality, education and design, the imagePROGRAF TC-21 expands Canon’s portfolio with a compact and efficient solution. Designed for CAD and other professional printing needs, this desktop printer is user-friendly. Offering a cost-effective alternative to outsourcing, the TC-21 enables businesses to produce high-quality prints in-house while minimising both space requirements and reducing environmental impact.”

The new imagePROGRAF TC-21 is scheduled to be commercially available from Canon New Zealand and accredited partners from May 2025.
