AI-generated summary
The Epson SureColor SC‑P900 is a proper “photo lab at your desk” kind of inkjet — but it’s not a sensible buy if you just want occasional prints. At ~£954 ex‑VAT you’re paying for color consistency, smooth gradients, and that Epson photo-ink look (especially on fine art and glossy papers). In real use, it’s the sort of printer a studio, agency, or print-for-client workflow buys when the output quality matters more than speed, and when you’ll actually print often enough to justify the spend. Wi‑Fi helps for day-to-day production without faffing with cables, but the real value is how reliably it produces predictable results across sessions.
Why you *might* avoid it: if you need high volume, quick turnaround, or you mainly print drafts, marketing one-offs, or documents, this is overkill — the running costs and time-to-print are where people get disappointed. If you’re a reseller or business that wants “best cost per page,” there are more economical inkjet options; likewise if you expect lots of A3/A2 output, you may end up feeling constrained. Bottom line: buy the P900 if you’re serious about client-ready photo/fine-art prints and will use it regularly; don’t buy it if your priority is budget printing or fast office output.
