SureColor P900 17-Inch Printer,Black

As an independent artist and business owner, getting my own printer was a huge goal of mine, and I'm so glad I took the plunge! The printer is a game-changer for me; I can now produce my own fine art prints in any size up to 16x20". I primarily print on 8x10", 11x14" and 12x16" matte fine art paper, using Premium Matte paper by Durico or Finestra Art. The first printer I ordered did not work, but I called Epson and they immediately sent me a new printer and set up an exchange. I've been printing on my new printer for 3 months, and here is a summary of my experience: The Upsides: -Quick and easy wireless communication with my laptop -Great customer service from Epson -The printer yields gorgeous, rich, and vibrant colors; high color accuracy -Each print takes just a few minutes to create -The Epson Print Layout program is straightforward and easy to use. I open this up every time I want to print something. Once I've selected the size and type of paper, I let the printer choose the colors. I find that this produces a better, brighter color quality than the color profiles listed. -Each print is 25-50% the cost of ordering from a fine art printing business -I've ordered ink once in 3 months -Fits perfectly on the alex drawers from Ikea The cons: -Sometimes the printer takes in a few pages at once instead of one at a time. You must keep an eye on it. -For some, the printer might feel slow -If you accidentally shut your laptop, or if your laptop unexpectedly dies, the printer will stop printing midway and you have to start over -Ink costs are high ($522 to replace all cartridges), so you must factor that into your print costs. I calculated my cost of ink per print using ChatGPT -Epson and Amazon ran out of ink recently, so I had to buy my ink from B&H Photo in NYC -The first printer didn't work, which was stressful -The ink isn't quite as vibrant as my the art prints that I used to order from a fine art printer, but it works well enough for me and my customers.

This web page's description of this printer begins: "Outstanding image quality and color." I have never encountered a marketing claim that is less true than that one. In my opinion, the printer is junk. Fit and finish are shoddy. The construction feels cheap and fragile. The on screen "instructions" are often incomplete and confusing. Ditto for the user manual. The printer devours...and destroys...expensive Epson photo paper. The principal quality issue is that prints are marred by "banding"...long colored bands that span the print at every few inches. I have made every possible adjustment that Epson suggests, and nothing solves the problem. I have had "success" only with Epson matte photo paper, which is so thin I'm not sure how it could be mounted without damage. I'm extremely disappointed that Epson shipped this half-baked printer, as it is not even approximately ready for prime time. Shame on Epson for continuing to sell such a grossly unsatisfactory product!

I'm a professional photographer. I use the P900 for my black and white printing needs. It's excellent. It does have a couple of drawbacks. One is ink choice. If you want deeper blacks, you have to use a certain paper. I like a heavy paper and often a heavy textured paper. I'm still experimenting with this, trying to figure out how to get more ink on certain papers. The other *major* drawback is the price for the ink cartridges. Granted you'll seldom have to buy all 10 cartridges at once, but if you do, it's going to cost you around $450 for all ten. Epson needs to furnish an initial 10 FULL cartridges that come with the printer, not the sorta 10 half-full ones. That's like buying a new car and the dealer puts enough gas in it for you to drive it home. Wouldn't hurt to lower the price on ink, either. I like the printer, though. I gave it Five Stars. So far, there isn't anything that makes me regret buying it. Really don't need the little pop-up LCD, but it's there just the same. Use it, don't use it...buyer's choice. This printer has a lot of good stuff going for it. Read the specs thoroughly before you buy. Read some dependable reviews. Make sure it's what you need.

I bought this printer primarily because it would print large format on roll media. So I added the roll feeder to the printer. Two things to remember. When attaching the feeder its important to pay attention to the angles. It felt like it didn't fit until I did that. Then it came together just like it was supposed to. And when loading roll media, make sure to select the media type before inserting the media into the printer. I started with satin canvas but did not select the type and the printer refused to load the media. Once I selected the media type, it loaded just like it should. People have complained about the initial inks not lasting long enough. My printer did use about half of the ink during the priming process. But I have since been able to print thee 30" X 5" prints and still have more than a third of the ink left in each reservoir. Yes, the inks are expensive. But, the prints are amazing on either satin canvas or matte fine art role paper. I am very pleased, so far.

Printer only came with about 1/4 cartridge of ink each. Thought that there would have been a full cartridge each for the initial purchase, considering that there are 10 different colours of ink. And the cost of the printer was not cheap, neither are the replacement full cartridges of ink.
