Canon Pixma TS9521C-if you have it do you like it?

I need some clarity over the question to be the most helpful!

The title of the thread says Canon Pixma, your post says Canon Selphy. The Pixma and the Selphy aren't the same thing, and aren't fairly comparable.

The Selphy and the Epson PM are comparable, though.

I have a different model Pixma, and they are good printers. We use it for all kinds of home and business purposes too, so we needed something that could handle letter sized paper as well as photo printing. I have considered splurging on a PictureMate that I can keep at my desk because I am lazy and tired and any extra steps in the process make me less likely to bother lately. But I am also cheap, and know that more things (machine, inks, apps, etc) just create more/new troubles.

I believe that Cathy Zielske shows a way to print full sized TN photos on the PictureMate, bigger than the 5x7 maximum print size, using cut down letter size paper.

If you were wanting to print TN papers and elements like the ones Geralyn Sy sells through In a Creative Bubble you'd probably be better off with the full sized printer (assuming you don't have a color inkjet printer at home already). If you just want to do photos quickly and easily I'd go with the PictureMate.

The Selphy is cool and I think a lot cheaper, but it can really only do (almost) 4x6 and smaller, and you're locked into using their special paper.

The pixma part wasn’t in the original post so it didn’t make sense. It makes much more sense now!

Amber Kemp-Gerstel (@damasklove on Instagram) has highly recommended the Crafting Printer that you linked.

I have an older Pixma - MP922 I think. It's a bit finicky for printing from my laptop. I'm hoping when I get a new laptop, I can print to it, it does print photos nicely. I'm assuming the issues are because it's an older model. It's huge and a bit slow. If I get another full size printer for photos, I would get another Canon based on the quality of the photos I get from the old Pixma.

I also have a selphy. I like it but it's limiting. It has weird border sizes which drives me nuts.

My personal preference is Epson. I've never liked the Canon's I've had to fix in the past. Epson's aren't perfect, they can be ink hogs (especially if you don't use it regularly, the ink heads clog and the head cleaning uses a ton of ink) but if you use them regularly, they won't clog as much.

Like justjac said, DamaskLove on instagram loves this Canon and sings its praises all the time. I'm almost curious enough to buy it and test it out but I don't need 2 printers.

You might check Camel Camel Camel camelcamelcamel.com so you can watch the price once you've decided which printer you want. That's how I bought mine and it saved me around $50 or so. I ended up going with a wide format Canon and I've been pretty happy with it.
