Canon TS9521C DTF Kit Review: The Risky Bargain of the Entry-Level World

At under $600, the TS9521C tempts with accessibility and wide availability. But Canon’s thermal printheads weren’t designed for abrasive white pigment and most users report clogs within days without aggressive maintenance. It’s a gamble: if you print occasionally and clean religiously, it works. If you need reliability, look elsewhere. Think of it as the ‘starter pistol’ great for testing the race, but not for running it.
