I'm not familiar with the options and performance of the TM255 vs. the TC-21 printer and which refill options are available. The TC-21 comes with a sheet feeder for A4 and A3 paper which might be of interest for some users. It should be possible to correct color tints via the color adjustments...

It's now about a year ago that I got a replacement for my old Epson Pro 7600 24 inch printer which I dumped due to some age related problems after about 20 years of operation. I tested both the Canon TC-20 and the Epson T3100 and T3100 which are quite similar in functionality - 24" roll...

I'm at this time assuming that there is no ink in the tubing and dampers, a new ink charge command would fix that via the WICReset utility - under Windows. I don't know if that utility would be available for Mac systems. WICReset offers you several other cleaning commands below the ink charge...
