Large Format Printers: Which One Do You Need?

[@natalierobinson6631]

Angie you are an angel 😇Thank you so much for taking the time to research and share your knowledge ❤

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@kathyhorton9983]

I use the Epson WF 7840. It will print up to 13x 19.

[@chrislee6076]

I have the Canon TS9521C and love the edge to edge 12x12 printing. So glad I invested in this, esp when Cricut came out with the larger print then cut feature!

[@AngieHolden]

That is the main reason I have that printer!

[@decass4371]

That's the one I have and I love it!

[@lindakrefft5621]

Do you use it to print scrapbook pages and does it use a lot of ink🎁?

[@chrislee6076]

@@lindakrefft5621 yes, I have. I’m not sure about ink usage as I haven’t printed enough full coverage 12x12 and havent changed the ink yet. I’ve used it mostly for Cricut print and cut projects. Also, instead of doing edge to edge full coverage printing on a shape I know I’m going to cut out, I will just print a pattern inside the shape like an A4 card panel, circle or heart. I’ve even filled the print only inside the shape of an envelope I was making as a coordinate to a card to cut out. This way I don’t waste ink printing what I don’t need.

I have the Epson et-8550. I t was a very expensive gift. I use it for sublimation. I like it so much that I’m saving for a second one to use as a regular printer and print large photos

[@AngieHolden]

They are really good printers!

[@dorothyaugustus2462]

Hello does this printer print on heavy card stock? I’m thinking about purchasing…..

[@rosecowan1556]

That’s good to know! I am wanting to purchase the Epson ET 8550 because of size.

[@meekuneek]

Thank you that’s the one I’m looking to get

[@AutumnLorne-h4f]

Do you use HIPPO Ink?

[@rebecarod1475]

Watched several videos on Canon TS9521C and read many reviews. Chose this one for ability and cost.

[@AngieHolden]

I definitely like mine!

[@stargazer70433]

I have had that exact printer for a couple years or more and the quality of the photos is so awesome! The ability to print 12 x 12 paper or card stock, is very handy also! I have Epson for sublimation as well as an Epson for regular printing and scanning in our home office! I had HP for many years and loved that brand also! It is hard to choose, but the Canon you are showing is truly my favorite!

[@AngieHolden]

So many great printers and so little time! HA!

[@mcharron4122]

Angie, I love your videos! They are so helpful. I did hear your desire for being able to print 12x12. I just starting with things and will print some photos on card stock and photo paper. My question is will I use the wide format for cricut project and be glad I went bigger or do you use the 8500 more? It looks like it's on sale for only $50 more to go wide format. I have a feeling I might regret going smaller for a $50 difference. I would appreciate your thoughts on this please. I do hope to do stationery as well at some point and I know I'll need a laser down the road too.

[@AngieHolden]

I use the large format more at this point and I am glad I have it!

[@mcharron4122]

[@gencemosia9355]

Hello 🙋🏾‍♂️ Is it possible to print general page sizes, such as A4 and A3, on a wide scale printer?

[@AngieHolden]

Yes wide format will print smaller formats as well.

[@gencemosia9355]

@@AngieHolden Awesome 😎 Thanks for the response 🙂

[@SparkleByMonica]

I'm on the fence between the Epson EcoTank ET-8550 and this Canon Pixma TS9521C. I make jewelry, but also do digital cards and want to eventually get into making stickers. I like the the Canon has all the pre-set craft papers and my hubby might even like it for graph paper, but the Epson appears to be much brighter and the ink bottles supposedly last 2 years. The Epson 8550 prints that large 13x19, so I could do the 8500 model since I don't anticipate that large of a size. If I eventually get a Cricut though, I might change my mind. So many decisions. lol

[@AngieHolden]

It is so hard to decide!!

[@KarlaRamirez-fn8ev]

What about later printers? Any highly recommended ones?

[@AngieHolden]

I don't do a ton with laser! Sorry!

[@normarodriguez5080]

Hello, is this a good printer to print stickers from Cricut design? Thank you

[@AngieHolden]

Yes, it is!

[@normarodriguez5080]

Thank you 😊

[@ailennovelli5609]

Hi, thank you for this video. Do you know which print I can get where I can use for wide print 13 X 19 and where I can also use card stock paper?

[@AngieHolden]

I like the Canon Pixma but it is maximum of 12 inches wide. It prints on cardstock really well.

[@terrybarnhill8451]

I want an Epson 8550 I like the Six ink colors it has. I have an et 8500 it is great has six colors but can’t print larger than 8.5x14. Please make a video on slicing images to print bigger for people who can’t get larger printers at the moment

[@jenns.4187]

I have the 8500 as I bought it during lockdown and couldn’t find the 8550 in stock but man I really wish I had gotten that one!

[@AddisonOstronic]

Do you have any suggestions on printers that would be able to print 16 x 20?

[@AngieHolden]

I do not that it getting into probably a printer that prints on a roll.

[@autumnjeserich2689]

I got an 11x 17 inkjet for 20 bucks on marketplace, but I need something that can do large format with white ink in addition to black and color on transparency. the price jump for those kind of those needs seems to be astronomical

[@AngieHolden]

A white toner printer is extremely expensive.

[@denisestover2416]

Thank you so very much! I'm in the process of buying a wide format inkjet printer to print out my art. I am looking for a wide format inkjet printer that is under $1,200 for now and then save up to get the $3,000 to $6,000 wide format inkjet printer. I print my art on fabric so I am looking for one that can print on a thicker paper than usual. My art is on fabric and I'd like the prints to follow suit. One of my concerns is how clear, clean and detailed the printer will print my pieces. You mention the photo quality printing....that's EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but in either an HP or Epson, not a Canon. With the information I just gave you what would you use?

[@AngieHolden]

Ugh I have used my HP to print on fabric but it is not a clean photo quality result. You might want to research printers that are made specifically for that.

[@denisestover2416]

You are so amzing at explaining everything! im so greatful! thank you

[@AngieHolden]

I'm so glad!

[@joecoz26]

The Canon Pixma TS9521C how many prints can you get out of it before the ink runs out? The ink is almost half the price of the printer.

[@AngieHolden]

I seriously have zero idea as I haven't ran out yet. HA! Most printers the ink is almost as much as the printer so I am not surprised.

[@floreinastmarie3426]

On these printer do we still have to add sublimation ink or can we use the ink in printer

[@AngieHolden]

This video is for inkjet printers. These are NOT intended for sublimation. I have another video on large format printers that are okay for sublimation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iam8qZ-le9GInas

[@mrhaths]

any idea on how many 11 x 17 pages this can print at a time?

[@AngieHolden]

Sorry I am not sure! I have not really tested printing a bunch at a time!

[@Paula-vh8em]

I don’t mind paying the initial price, but I don’t want to pay for the ridiculous ink cost. What are your thoughts?

[@AngieHolden]

Every printer has a high ink cost. Not a lot you can do about that.

[@autumkennedy4133]

So between the ho workforce 7440 wide format and Epson8550 wide format what is your choice I know you said your an hp girl but what about ink in the hp? how long does it last since it's not ink filled like the epson eco tank? What's the biggest pros and cons I can't seem to find any true in depth videos between the two!

[@AngieHolden]

I like HP as you can hook it up and they will automatically send you ink when you get low.

[@AshleyCreations32]

Can you do foiling with this printer

[@AngieHolden]

A laser printer is typically used for foiling. So no these are inkjet printers.

[@lestergibson514]

Hi i purchased the canon ts9521c can I convert and use reill cartridges and ink if so what brand works best

[@AngieHolden]

A Canon printer is not for sublimation.

What size do I need to print a sublimation 20 oz tumbler? Please help thanks

[@AngieHolden]

It depends on the manufacturer frankly.

What about canon for sublimation?

[@AngieHolden]

Epson printers can be converted for sublimation but other brands do not work for conversion.

Hello , what printer you suggest for large printing DTV

[@AngieHolden]

I would recommend a DTV printer and setup for safety reasons.

[@jo2522]

Where do you load the 11x17 paper? The canon videos only show loading a4 or letter paper. I need a printer to be able to print 40 to 50 pages of 11x17 architectural drawings of blue prints is this printer good for that?

[@AngieHolden]

On the Canon I have, you open up the back tray and load it there. However, it would not handle a stack that large.

[@reneenelson7089]

I have a epson work Pro 7710 can I use that for anything or is that just a office printer

[@AngieHolden]

You can use it for print then cut. Any printer can be used for print then cut. I am just giving some good options for those shopping for a large format printer.

@@AngieHolden ty, sorry just learning and didn't know what the printer's I had have could do before I buy something else, because if it could already do what they do, then I wouldn't have to buy one, because I just thought of that as office stuff, not like stickers and stuff, so ty, but just learned all the BN 20A can do and it does alot, just waiting for the delivery, but ty so much for answering, have a great day 😀 😊 😄

Will the 11x17 print all the way to edge also?

Usually they will work but depends on the paper/printer combo.

@@reneenelson7089 - I'm late to the party but... Yes, you can print with your Roland. You may need to print to PDF first before printing it to your BN20A using a PDF reader. I don't think DesignSpace will print directly to the BN20A reliably. Not sure why you would want to print on the Roland and cut on the Cricut since the BN20A has a built in cutter and cutting is built into the Roland software but, yes, it will print stuff you can cut on the Cricut.
