The P900 supports a direct USB connection, as well as Ethernet and WiFi network connections, and we found each option to be easy to set up and use.Įpson walks you through the process of installing the inks downloading and installing the print driver and additional software and connecting the printer to your Mac or Windows computer. Setting up the printer is straightforward: the box includes a quick start guide, a power cable, starter set of inks, a tray for printing on CDs and DVDs, and an extra maintenance box (one of these is preinstalled in the printer, and is used for ink waste during cleanings and overspray when creating borderless prints). The primary differences between the two are the print width and ink costs, the latter of which we cover later in the review. Note: For this review, we tested the SureColor P900, but many of the things written about here - color gamut, print quality, general print speed, paper handling and print options - are also applicable to the P700. The P700 ($799) has a maximum print width of 13 inches and uses 25ml cartridges, while the P900 ($1,295) can print up to 17 inches wide, and has 50ml carts.
Their differences come down to price, print width, and ink cartridge capacity. The SureColor P700 and P900 are essentially two versions, small and large, of the same printer: they share the same printhead, print engine and inkset, and offer identical paper feed and driver options.
