In this video I print an image on the Epson SureColor P600. With it’s UltraChrome HD ink set it is billed as being able to produce dense and rich blacks, and so I decided to capture an image in a gloomy woodland to put that to the test.

Whoever you are, seeing one of your photographs as a print seems to add a whole new dimension to your work. It’s a little strange to think that this shouldn’t really be an unusual feeling, however as we all know, since the dawn of digital photography we are all printing our images less and less.
But what happens to our images if we don’t print them? Sadly, a lot of them will disappear to the back of our hard drives - and in many cases, at best we will share them on social media for others to enjoy for a fleeting moment, but with all the effort and time you put into creating that image doesn’t it deserve a little more appreciation than that?
One of the things that really strikes me is how more real an image appears when printed, there is a better sense of depth and texture, and home printers have come such a long way in recent years that it is possible for any of us to produce gallery quality images with pigment inks that will last you a lifetime of enjoyment.
The P600 is leaning on the professional end of things, you certainly wouldn’t be using it for printing out invoices, and with that comes a large machine at a reasonable cost. But considering that should you go for one?
If you read the reviews there really isn’t much between the Epson and Canon pro ranges, I think it mainly boils down to personal preference. For me I chose the Epson as it accepts roll media which gives a little more flexibility with print size and you can produce pretty large scale panoramic images if you want to (I kind of liked the idea of that).
