Epson SureColor P900 17-Inch Printer,Black

We purchased this to replace an old Epson 2200 that had seen better days. Thus far, the P900 has exceeded all expectations. Since we are using this for personal printing of photos rather than as a professional photographer would, the set-up was straightforward and we haven't needed to mess around with advanced settings. The Wi-Fi setup was simple and my wife can print from her multiple Apple devices and I can print from my Android phone and Windows based laptop. Three months in, we have had zero problems. Picture quality is as sharp as anything you could want. Colors are incredibly life-like and vivid. Blacks and Grey's are equally impressive. The printer also uses wide format paper up to 17 inches and that's without purchasing a paper-roll attachment for banner length printing. So my artist wife and her non-artistic spouse (me) couldn't be happier with this printer. It's admittedly a little expensive, but the printing results are as professional as anything I've seen.

I'm a professional photographer who has used the P900 regularly for the past year. I've been quite impressed with its features, particularly the color tones. However, The printer started producing vertical banding about six weeks ago (less than two weeks out of warranty). I tried every fix that is documented & the banding continued. After enduring Epson's [sic] customer support, they basically said, "too bad." & tried to sell me a new printer. High-end color printers can be finicky, but I expect more from customer support. I won't be buying any Epson products again.

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'm a novice to high-quality printing, having sent off all my wall-hangers to professional labs. But those are pricey and time-consuming. I chose the P900 over Canon's PRO-1000 for the lone reason the Epson is a 2020 release and Canon's is getting up there in age. Not saying I wouldn't have been just as happy with the Canon; I've never used it, so I can't compare.Set-up was straightforward and from box to initial print was less than an hour. I'd caution new owners to follow the instructions to the letter, including shaking the ink cartridges a bit before insertion. I didn't and caught it just in time before it started charging the lines.I've been printing my favorite vacation photos on a variety of different Epson premium papers to find my preferred look. I printed a photo I took in Santorini (so lots of hard lines and vibrant colors) and it looks exactly as it did on my monitor. Lines are crisp, shading is smooth, and the colors pop.I wanted a desktop printer with photo lab quality and I'm not disappointed.If this helps anyone, I struggled with deciding on furniture to put it on. I ended up with an Ikea Besta TV stand that's 47.25"W X 16.5"D X 29"H. Depth was my main concern and it fits with about a half-inch to spare front and back. The dimensions for the unit are for the feed and output trays extended.

Good printer but driver and paper profiles don’t work on a Mac M2. Had to work around that. Also, their Ap won’t connect to printer on Mac with latest OS. Even with a cable, very large files fail to print properly. You have to flatten layers to get it to work. But the prints ARE very good and it is smaller and quicker than my last Epson. Great for B&W too.
