It's compact but a little heavy for a smaller machine, but once set up and in place you won't mind.

The results are excellent, its six-colour printing process offers deep and rich colour pigments and while not the fastest it does print at a decent pace – black and white photos have a 8.5 ppm speed. As well as standard paper formats it features a rear tray for special or heavier paper stock. It can print up to A3, features scan and copy functions and comes with an excellent app to control all of your prints and ink orders. (This does make the Epson SureColor SC-P900 a little more expensive to run than some on this list.)īut if you're looking for professional results from your prints, and want them to last and not fade then the Epson SureColor SC-P900 is the best on this list, just be aware of the extra costs involved.įor the price – sub $200 / £200 – the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 represents excellent value for money. The print results speak for themselves – photos and art prints are deep and colours rich and vibrant, as this printer uses an UltraChrome 10 ink system to deliver a vast array of tones – these inks are: Cyan, Light Cyan, Vivid Magenta, Vivid Light Magenta, Yellow, Gray, Light Gray, Violet, Photo Black, and Matte Black. This is the only downside to a professional art printer that's actually nicely sized and suitable for home use. The only downside is the ink supplied with the printer won't last long. Onboarding is a little mixed the Epson SureColor SC-P900 is easily setup and comes with connectivity to Mac and PC, as well an on-printer LCD touchscreen to help you manage our prints. This art printer can deliver some excellent results, including panoramic prints to cut sheets up to 17 by 22 inches (though this requires a roll feeder that's bought separately). The Epson SureColor SC-P900 is one of the more expensive art printers on my list but you get a superb printer for your money.
