The replacement for the Editors’ Choice–winning SureColor P800 we reviewed here back in October 2016, the SureColor P900 17-Inch Photo Printer ($1,195) continues Epson’s tradition of impeccable pro-grade wide-format photograph and graphics art printers. A step up from the 13-inch SureColor P700 (another favorite), the P900 churns out exceptional images and artwork up to 17 by 22 inches, as well as breathtaking banners up to 17 inches wide by 129 inches (10 feet, 9 inches) long. Like the P800 before it, the P900 is superb, with terrific output, highly productive software, and competitively low (for this genre) running costs. During our tests, the P900 efficiently handled everything thrown at it, producing impressive oversize photos, artwork, and banners. It effortlessly takes the P800’s place as our Editors’ Choice for professional-grade photography and graphic art inkjet printers.
