This printer has an inherent defect and that is the nozzle for mat and photot black constantly gets blocked. I tried every tip given by the manufacturer, nothing works. Epson repaired it 4 times and each time it broke again until it's now out of warranty and I lost my investment.

Very pleased so far. Haven't had this printer but a few months. Quality and speed are excellent (although I am more interested in quality than quantity).Have always used Epson printers for my photographs - also use the Artisan 1430. Needed a little bit larger print without breaking the bank.

I had an Epson R2400 (bought used) and proceeded to completely destroy it trying to convert to another brand (cheaper) ink. I needed a replacement as I am an annoying photography hobbyist (annoying in that I keep thinking I deserve the best I can afford!!).

This printer is a replacement for the R2880 which lasted 10 years of printing. The P600 print is about the same footprint as the R2880 (a little higher) but has one nice feature the R2880 lacked and that is not having to swap photo and matte black cartridges. This is a welcomed change.

The second one, bought to print giclee prints of paintings. The colour reproduction is clean and bright. I really appreciated help from Printerbase support with the correct drivers so my workflow moved smoothly from the old one to the new.

The Epson SureColor SC-P600 is designed for both enthusiast and professionals looking for a high-end home printing solution to produce up to A3+ (329 x 483mm) prints.

Stunning print quality; Neutral black and white images; Easy to set up and install; Useful touchscreen; Wi-Fi connectivity

Large footprint; High consumable costs

Really great printer. Although the connectivity sometimes experiences issues with a Mac and the printer needs to be restarted to print multiple documents. Looking online, quite a few people seem to experience this issue. But the printer itself is great!

Despite the new nomenclature, Epson's just-released SureColor P600 A3+desktop printer is essentially an update to the Stylus Photo R3000 , which we reviewed in January 2011. The new printer comes in a redesigned case, which is the same size and weight as the R3000's.

Semi-pro photographers, graphic artists, hobbyists: All will find this photo printer's output quality and extensive paper-handling options attractive, if they can manage the ink costs.

Superb output quality (and quiet operation; Supports cut sheets to 13x19 inches; or roll paper to 13 inches wide; Switches matte-black and photo-black inks without cartridge removal; Prints on CDs/DVDs

With its new ink system, Epson's SureColor P600 is an excellent choice for the serious photographer.

Excellent color accuracy and saturation; Extensive media handling; including roll paper; Black inks great for monochrome and color prints

Limited to 13 inches; Must manually cut prints off roll paper; Pricey inks
