I’ve had a p900 for about 9 months here in uk but I’ve fortunetly not had any sheet feeder or alignment errors over that time . I do only print single sheets at a time though as they are typically A3 sized or larger. The only issues I initially had in the first few weeks was it disconnecting from wifi and non communicating with the Mac but this has been a non issue after a few firmware updates and I’ve not had any issues in a long time now. I’ve also had it feed in double paper a few times but very rare as mostly I only feed it a single sheet at a time now. I like also definitely recommend a dust cover as it prone to attracting dust on that top cover.
i used to spend my Xmases printing 1000s of flyers for my biz night and day on a budget printer i loved hearing it screech as it burned out from over-use ! it was my way of coping when i didnt see my kids at Crimbo .....Seems mad now!!!
Had 800 a while back. It worked great for the first 2 to 3 years. The color calibration was difficult on certain paper. The ink heads started to clogged easy in its later years. Did some deep cleaning, and trying to get at those printer heads, and take them out was a nightmare. Every month I had to do a deep clean and then it was weekly. Epson does not make this easy. I forgot what I paid for it but I know or feel it should have held together a lot longer. It finally just gave up or I gave up on it. I probably kept it a lot longer than I should. I got a Canon Prixma 8750. Didn't want anything fancy just to get me over the summer. It cost me $250 and $150 for the ink buy in. You know when you have that moment when you realize that you have been fighting with junk for the past 7 years unnecessarily and wasted a lot of time and money trying to keep that Chevy running, and then you buy your first Honda. Yeah, that's the different between a Epson and a Canon. It may be $250 printer but it handles like a $1000 printer. I have two now. The first one is going on 4 years now and still making money. Last year the printer head needed a deep clean. I have never touch the heads for 3 years. I get my self psyched up to be educated on pulling the printer head out. I looked it and looked at a You Tube vid, and said nah it can't be this easy. I took out all the cartages out and flipped the orange bar and reached in with thumb and forefinger and pulled it out. Rinse it under warm to hot water, and take a air can and blow it out and let it dry overnight. It is literally that easy. I bought and extra printer head so I always have one on stand by ready to be installed if I'm in the middle of a run. I also had a Canon SLR and traded it for an Olympus because the Olympus has more censor input. With in a year the screen in the back couldn't be extended. I kick myself in the ass for trading that camera in. Something about the reliability engineering that goes into a Canon is baked in. They may not have all the bells and whistles but it will get you where you are going, again, again, and again.
I've had several people ask about this, I will make a video. If you're in the United States, anything you create is automatically protected by copyright. So there's nothing you need to do to have your art copyrighted. You make it and you own it, as long as it's not a derivative of work of someone else's copyright, etc.
I second this! I would love to see your video on the topic. Painting famous figures and transforming it into another work is something I see artists do all of the time but it can be daunting and confusing considering the copyright laws can be a bit of a grey area.
whoo hoo! This is the type of artsy nerdy techy content I can get down on. I have been going to the Fed-Ex store for my seed package prints. I never thought to shop print shops for what b'dass printer they got behind the counter. I print on 100# glossy for packaging, and want my colors to pop and be accurate.
I had a bespoke printer cloth cover made for my printer, anytime its not in use I pop the cover on, keeps the dust off big time. Search online plenty of suppliers who do this.... PS I use 17" roll paper for printing as well.
Yes you have to get the roll paper adapter, I read some reviews that people didn't like that the roll adapter squished the paper. What's your experience?
What kind and weight paper do you use? I’m ready to start making prints but not sure what supplies to purchase. Thank you for all your great videos. I’ve learned so much from you.
I've made a couple videos that discuss the types of paper I like to use, links below :-) th-cam.com/video/xOYU3mrAWVM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/puOMGCYkG_k/w-d-xo.html
Epson sent me a new P900 after my Epson p900 kept making a loud buzzing sound at start up. I have had some top paper feeding issues as well, it's finicky. I usually load one single sheet at a time. I think it's a great printer, price point and ink consumption considered. Have you tried the P900 roll paper adapter?
No I haven't, didn't wanna pay the extra for it since I have other printers that take roll paper. But it is a thought, considering the sheet feed issues.
I turned you off after you stating $1200 is a big decision for your business, your in the wrong business if spending that amount of money is a huge deal. Lots of us small business people spend a 100 thousand $$$ or more to make a living
If you read the title, it says that this is a review for making art prints at home. This video is geared toward artists who are trying to start up a business and work for themselves. Not small businesses with big budgets, professional print companies, etc.

Great quick and clear info. Good job. I love my p900 but I’ve had ‘adventures’ with it’s skewed feed and wireless. Rarely but I have. Thanks

Will love to hear you speak about how to copyright art and the process of it. Thanks!

@@KrystleColeArt Yes please, is a subject that gets many artist confuse and often afraid. Thanks you!

I have a dust cover for my P-900. Left over from my old 3880 and it fits. Worth the cost if dust and hairs are such a concern.
Yes!
Much greetings from my holiday in Platanias in Crete. Cheers.
Have fun!

Hello. Can I use a thicker paper for businesscards? and can it print on canvas? Thanks
Yes and yes 👍
So much fun
Cool, I hope my P800 doesn’t pop its clogs anytime soon, as these P900 issues would drive me do-lally. Cheers, m’lady. 🙏
