Speed
The print speed is pretty good when you compare it with other photo printers. However, there is one photo printer that comes in at a much lower price point and has higher PPM counts for both monochrome and color prints. And that is the Epson WorkForce WF-7210 Wireless printer.
Print Quality
Inkjet printers are usually pretty good when it comes to print quality. And the Epson SureColor P600 Wide Format Inkjet Printer with support for up to 5760 x 1440 DPI resolution is no different. Epson advertises their “UltraChrome HD Ink” on this inkjet photo printer. Which basically means it has eight different ink tanks (photo black, cyan, vivid magenta, yellow, light cyan, vivid light magenta, light black, matte black, and even lighter black.
Efficiency
This Epson inkjet printer is pretty efficient, so you’re going to get a pretty great ink cartridge lifespan out of this printer. But even the much cheaper Canon Pixma Pro-100 has a similar ink efficiency, so it’s nothing crazy good. Depending on how much you print, you shouldn’t have to replace ink cartridges often.
Advanced Features
The Epson SureColor P600 Wide Format Inkjet Printer has USB, wired ethernet, and Wi Fi. So it basically has all three connectivity methods you’ll ever need. And it has an easy to use color touch screen interface to control settings right from the printer.
Value
Wide format printers generally come with high price tags, but at above $2700, the Epson SureColor P600 Wide Format Inkjet Printer is just a bit too high priced to be considered as a “value for money printer.” Also, the customer service and after-sales support seem to be dodgy from Epson; you can see that by looking at a few customer reviews. If you value the extra features this printer comes with, and have the money to be able to afford it, only then you should go for this printer.
Epson SureColor P600 Wide Format Inkjet Printer Wrap Up
The Epson SureColor P600 Wide Format Inkjet Printer is packed to the brim with different features that separate it from others. But most won’t care about those functionalities. If you just want a simple wireless printer, the Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 should be more than enough to suffice your needs.
