❌ The front paper output tray feels flimsy.
❌ No Ethernet – WiFi or USB only.

Tip: If buying used, insist on a nozzle check printout before purchase.
After a week of pushing the Canon PIXMA TS9550 to its limits, the verdict was clear.
It solves a very specific problem: It gives you the width of an A3 printer without demanding a room of its own. It looks professional, the touchscreen is responsive, the photo quality is gallery-worthy, and the media handling is robust.
The Pros:
The Cons:
The TS9550 passed the studio test. It wasn't just a printer; it was the enabler for larger ideas. It stayed on the desk, quiet and ready, capable of printing a boarding pass one minute and a portfolio poster the next. For the creative professional or the small business needing occasional large format printing, the TS9550 is a workhorse disguised as an artist.
The first task was mundane: a 50-page contract. We loaded standard 80gsm copier paper. canon pixma ts9550 test
The TS9550 is an inkjet, and inkjets can be slow. However, Canon’s print heads are known for speed. We hit print. The pages began flying out. The text was dark, sharp, and professional. There was none of the feathering you sometimes see on cheaper inkjets where the ink bleeds into the paper fibers.
Because the pigment black ink sits on top of the paper rather than soaking in, we ran a finger over the text immediately. No smudge. For a business environment where documents need to be handled quickly, this was a pass with flying colors.
Unboxing the TS9550, the first thing you notice is the real estate. It measures 45cm wide and 37cm deep, so it demands a dedicated desk spot. However, the design is surprisingly elegant for a multi-function device. The piano-black finish (also available in white) looks premium, though it is a fingerprint magnet.

Use-case recommendations
Verdict The Canon PIXMA TS9550 is a strong consumer/prosumer all-in-one for users who prioritize photo and wide-format print quality over raw speed and lowest ink costs. It balances versatility (scan/copy/print, mobile connectivity) with a six-ink system that noticeably improves photographic output; however, those with heavy print volumes or tight per-page budgets should consider laser or business-focused A3 options.
