Finally printers recommended by an ACTUAL ARTIST and not some text readers with clickbait titles. Instant sub. Thank you!

[@CedarSam]

Exactly! Those computer voice videos are a total waste. This is exactly what I needed.

[@KingParzival]

Beware, the TS3320 or 3520 do NOT print on glossy paper!!!! They WILL bleed. I bought the TS3520 for stickers and found that it can only print glossy paper up to a 5x7 inch sheet! Hope this helps!

[@fiddah]

Which printer do you recommend

[@rum_1835]

this is very helpful thanks

[@lionzDen23]

It's good for tiny stickers?

[@maryamalhammadi588]

Than you

[@KingParzival]

@@fiddah I'd recommend saving your money and getting a proper canon photo printer instead, it's just not worth wasting your money on something less than. The Canon 900 series is great!

[@joshuarozario5654]

I don’t know if you are a professional presenter or do you do this as part of your regular job but this video was by far one of the best and most informative video about card stock printing and printers! Thanks again!

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

Great wobble test for the card stock, I like it. For anyone wanting numbers for weight comparison, I just had a look online, USA uses lb for paper weights in Europe we use GSM, (grams per square meter) so if ur in Europe 88lb is 238 gsm. for comparison standard text weight paper is 80gsm, thicker paper 100 -120 and then card around 170 gsm upwards

[@voulahadjiathanassiou3747]

Hello fellow crafters. Just giving an update on the Canon Pixma TS5320. For some reason two days later it is much faster. So thumbs up there. My ONLY complaint is the amount of ink I am going through. I am using the basic cartridges it came with and after 200 copies the color is almost finished. I bought XL cartridges to see. Great little printer if you don't print many orders like I do ,

[@DL-ir2wb]

Ecotank Epson apparently prints hundreds of color sheets without wasting ink

[@royalcoachclassics7818]

I'm so happy that you stress the back loading tray. It is so important for heavy papers, yet none of the other vids about printers even mention what kind of feed tray their printers have. I would love to see you do a vid on tank printers. Thank you.

[@marklola12]

For anyone into sublimation....but will not be doing it every day maybe once a week and twice a week don't go with ecotank epsons....if you leave them too long without use eventually they clog and cleaning and power cleaning options do not fix the issue and you have a dead printer. Get a normal Epson and get the compatable empty cartridges that you can refill with the supplied syringes and fill with the sublimation ink....way way better and it never clogs nomatter how long you go without using. I wasted 180 on l3310 ecotank lol

[@user-bd4us7pb9t]

So after this video, I went and purchased the Canon TS9521C and it is such a great printer. Especially if youre running a small business like myself. I love that it is bluetooth and I can connect to my phone and laptop without the wires!

[@mohammedbarqawi8113]

Did you print stickers and if you did do you recommend it? Thank you

[@MamaDisney123]

Printable glitter cardstock, yes please! Love my TS9521C. I had forgotten it has programmed pattern paper, LOL. Can't wait to see the new stationary and planner sets tomorrow!

[@YayDayPaperCo]

You are going to LOVE the April Collection!! It's so good!

[@evansultimategaming6448]

Can it do print then cut?

[@fiddah]

Can it print on glossy paper of A4 size sheets?

[@tc4431]

Does the ts9521c print 4x6 paper from the back tray? I had a huge issue with printing from the back tray on the Epson eco tank.

Thanks for the great explanation and comparison of the 3 printers, this is exactly the video I was looking for.

[@janejohnson9831]

Amber--you are too cute! I see so many videos (I teach) where the presenter is inarticulate, bored (and boring), and just plain hum-drum. I loved your performance---the presentation as well as the information about the differences in the three Canon printers. Thanks for getting it right (and re-recording until you do). It does make a difference.--JJ

[@scotishcovenanters]

NOT BORING. This girl is a paid actress advertising for cannon printers.

[@belovedjung]

This was SUCH a good video. Definitely my favorite. I love how you lay out the facts, show prints, and are so objective on your statements. Even though some options may appear better than others, you still are allowing the watcher to decide what works for them. Also the way you present everything with a positive and fun attitude. This is the first video I've seen of yours and it definitely got you a subscriber. Please keep making great content like this. I usually don't watch long videos anymore in the age of IG reels and TikToks, but I actually look forward to your videos. Will definitely be watching more in the future. :) Love this!

[@krystalperez-ivy1371]

Please make a video for every single thing possible, ‘k? This was so dang helpful and exactly what I needed to see! ❤️

how often does the ink need to be replaced are they pricey. Which is best as far as price. Can you list prices and compared to ink changes? thank you.

[@voulahadjiathanassiou3747]

Can I print on 120 lb and 110 lb cardstocks with TS9521C????

[@dayanneescobar5560]

I absolutely love this video, 2 questions.. 1. What would be the best Program to buy to make custom Card Stock? 2.Do you also review label (sticker) printers?

[@becca012381]

can the ts3520 handle 100lbs cardstock?

[@YINGIsHere]

I would like to know how long each ink types last for the printers? I know it may vary, but in normal use, if you had to use all three, which one would save the most money on ink?

[@bunnyxmahgii]

I had the same question!

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

firstly I don't currently have a printer, but based on past experience the things that use ink up faster are lots of solid backgrounds. low quality paper, as it drinks ink (think of writing on your kitchen paper with felt tips, it will use up ink fast) Humidity and frequency of use, if not used that often, ink can dry out in the cartridges. Also if ur environment is hotter, that could also affect how the ink behaves. They list prints per cartridge on packets but thats based on things like documents, craft projects with a lot of solid filled in areas and backgrounds will really drink the ink. I had one that had individual colour ink tanks which was great but don't try to keep em going when they are warning they are low. that killed the printer. bear in mind the companies are makig the money in the ink, its why printers are low cost. with the ink you can sometimes free post return them to the company for recycling. that cost will also be factored into the price of the cartridge. some ink cartridges also contain print heads (I think thats the bit that the ink comes out of, Im not that tech) but that will also increase the cost of individual cartridge, that said replacing a print head on printers that it doesn't come included in the ink cartidges is also very expensive. so yeah, its just an expensive think ink. If ur doing LOADS of printing laser printers inks last longer but are also very expensive to buy the individual cartridges for and the printers themselves are often HUGE. YOu pays your money, you takes your choice.

[@wildcatphd]

Wonderful Video!! I’ve been reading reviews for months but haven’t found anything with the great info you provided!! Thank you!

[@toratora9994]

Got a new printer for crafts. Made sure that I bought one that specified all the types of paper. Jammed the first time, ran out of ink in 1 week. Found my 15 year old canon and it’ll print on ANYTHING. Ink lasts forever and is cheap to replace now.

[@tc4431]

What is the name of your 15 yr old canon?

[@anne-mariemarshall3105]

Are there any printers which can print on watercolour paper 140 lb / 300 gsm ?

This comparison was the best and most helpful I found! Thank you so much!

[@MugetsuFused]

This video is a bit old, so i had trouble finding the silver tier one. Actualy, the silver and gold were the same price. Obviously I chose gold since it has way more functions. Fun fact tho: this thing is way heavy. It left an indent in my table. 😅

[@bettahalfofme6658]

[@raenae14]

Can you share approximately how many color pages you can print on the Canon PIXMA TS9521C before having to replace cartridges? I know that probably depends on a lot of factors, but my current printer (not Canon) runs out of ink so quickly and it just feels like I put so much money into the ink! Hoping for a printer that doesn't run out of color after only a few good prints! I did read your blog post too, but it doesn't seem like this printer qualifies for the subscription plan.

[@BarbsCraftStudio]

I have it and it guzzles ink. I was hoping it was eligible for the plan. I guess I just need to see about replacing it at some point. Since there is no sensible reason this isn't eligible it may be back to an HP. If I can find one with rear feed
