Hi Christine, I've been using the P600 for a year and a half. Highly recommended. The improved paper feed system over the R2400/R2880 is one of the truly great things about it. Compared to the R2400/R2880, it's got better blacks, better brilliance, and just does a better job.
I don't recommend trying to refill the ink tanks. You can't get the Epson inks for refilling of the same formulation. I've found this printer to be pretty economical on ink anyway ... the big tanks help, and I think the heads have greater precision in laying it down. I use Velvet Fine Art and Hot Press Natural papers the most, but swap to Photo Black ink for Exhibition Fiber. It does an excellent job with all three. Also with Hahnemühle Bamboo and other fine art papers .... I haven't found any papers that don't work well with it. You can't go wrong with the P600 unless you need the larger paper size of the P800 ... :-) G On Mar 20, 2017, at 3:32 PM, Christine Aguila <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On 3/19/2017 4:21 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: >>> Hi All: >>> >>> Is anyone using the Epson P600? >>> >>> Care to share your thoughts on print quality and user workflows >>> and/or issues? >>> >>> My Epson R2880 is still working, and I have been printing lately, >>> just now in fact, but the rollers aren’t always grabbing on the first >>> try of a print.
