Really original and down to earth KZbin channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank you for helping me choose a right printer!

That ink sound is a very fine ASMR example 🙂

[@MrAdsy19]

Very helpful video, thanks. We bought one of these printers for CAD work in the office. Seems to work great.

Hello,

[@hollythecrossstitchaddict83]

Thank you! Is there roller paper I can get that are labels as I need to print labels. Thanks

[@marcusjames1221]

Hi Keith when I print from the Front paper tray when printing posterboard do I have to take off the Rolled paper tray on the back on the EPSON SURECOLOUR P900 thack you Mark

Hi Keith, thank you for your detailed printing tests!! I am interested in potentially using gone of these printers to print film positives on transparencies to use for screen printing. Ideally I would replace all the inks with black ink in order to make the deepest black/opaque blacks possible. I haven't been able to find any info on anyone using this printer to do that. What do you think? Can I send you a sheet of wet media transparency to test a print on using the normal inks? Thank of your considerations!

I have one question. On Canon Japan's website, which describes the specifications of this printer, I found the following statement: "If you print on photo or film-based paper, the ink may peel off even after it has dried if you rub it with your fingernail or other object.“ Did you encounter this problem with glossy paper or other paper when you used the printer?

[@paologo928]

Hi Keith. Did you have problems when printing with thicker papers? I tried 260gsm Luster paper and i found that the star rollers leave marks on the print.

Hi Keith! Im very glad to have found your channel. I want to print posters and i check your videos for the canon tc20m, just want to know if I can print on a hahnemühle photo matt fibre 200g 24" roll. I'm new on this world so I would like your advice. Cheers from Mexico!

[@lohikarhu734]

Here's a funny thing, maybe a compliment... I'm not actually interested in this printer, for me, but I simply enjoy your videos!

[@anandascapes]

I can't find any info on how to color calibrate this printer. I printed my first sheet and the colors are brownish Help!

[@martyloschen8288]

try taking some of the fine art paper off the roll until it fits

[@marzbarz915]

Anyone have any specific shop where I may buy paper roll for the TC-20? I cant find any 2" core super heavy-weight rolls online.

I have a question, could you give your opinion regarding CAD printing? Focused on architecture, I am interested in purchasing this Canon plotter to replace my old HP plotter that is already 10 years old and is starting to fail very often. I am an architect and I use the plotter for CAD prints (Construction Plans, Renders, Presentation Sheets, ETC) mainly printing plans.

I need help with finding a printer that can print thick cardstock straight. I use the Epson ET-8550 but I can't get a straight print. I spent $800 on the printer and fairly disappointed with the alignment of the printing from the rear manual feed. Please help!

[@andraegraham9668]

any waterproof sticker media for it available

[@martyloschen8288]

I placed a two inch core inside of three inch core

Hi Keith, enjoying your videos. Looking for some help. I run a small print and design business, and my case is unusual, in that I had a large format setup with a Roland solvent printer and all the sign gear, but I finally had to sell it as I just didn't have the space. I now want to get back to offering my customers, canvases and posters, but need to seriously downsize. I'm thinking of a 24" pigment printer. I have narrowed it down to the Epson sc-t2100, HP designjet 210, or the Canon Tc-20m. (I think?) Can you offer any advice?
