Sleek Design That Fits Your Workspace

This multifunction printer is one of the most stylish A1 printers available. Its compact footprint means it slides easily onto desks or shelves without taking up much room, blending form and function beautifully in any workspace.

Enhanced Scanning and Copying Capabilities in the TC-21M

Equipped with an integrated A4 flatbed scanner, the TC-21M enables users to create enlarged copies up to A1+. It offers creative copy options right on the device — no computer required.

• Enlarge & Split Copy: Turn A4 originals into large posters by printing across multiple sheets that join together to form a single image.
• Repeat Copy: Duplicate content multiple times on one sheet or roll media, perfect for labels or repeated graphics (now supported on both media types).
• Layout Copy: Combine several scanned images into a custom layout on roll paper, ideal for unique designs or multi-image projects.

These features make the TC-21M great for producing educational materials, signage, or custom gift wrap.

Note: The printer requires a minimum 5mm margin on all sides and does not support borderless printing. Certain photo modes may need larger margins

Sustainable and Energy-Efficient

This printer supports your green goals with an EPEAT Gold2 rating, highlighting its superior energy efficiency, packaging free from expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), and use of 40% recycled plastic. It also contains 5% recycled metal — a pioneering feature in large-format printers.

Its recyclable 70ml ink bottles reduce waste and replacement frequency, and the quiet operation makes it suitable for noise-sensitive settings.

Versatile Media Handling

Thanks to a spindle-less design, the TC-21M prints up to A1 size using the roll-feed unit, or up to A3 with the multi-sheet feeder. It’s easy to load paper and supports smaller media such as A6 sheets and envelopes.

Sheet capacities include:

• 50 sheets at A3 size
• 100 sheets at A4 size

This flexible paper handling meets a wide range of printing needs
