INKJET PRINTING WITH THE EPSON P600
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Printing with the Epson P600 has changed how I feel about maintaining a printer in my studio. The ease of use and professional results are simply fantastic. For the money you get pigment class printing in a simple package. This is probably my favorite piece of photography equipment to come out in the last few years.

My name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography. I’ve been making photographs most of my life and I have a tremendously deep passion for photography that I want to share with you on UA-cam.
The Art of Photography is my channel and I produce photography videos to provide a 360 degree look into the world of making images. We all want to get better so lets do this together!
I make videos covering famous photographers, photography techniques, composition, the history of photography and much more.
I also have a strong community of photographers who watch the show and we frequently do social media challenges for photographers to submit their own work. I feature the best and most interesting on the show when we do these so come check it out and get involved!
I have binge watched your channel this evening. Everything from your oldest videos until now, and I must say you have made amazing progress. Keep up the good work!!!
I know this is almost two years later. I just want to say that I am glad you said what you did about the borders. Thank you.
A very useful and intelligent video. What you say about 'creating objects' is perfectly true.
Hi Ted,
regarding your comment that the P600 could not do transparency film for digital negatives, according to some users in the Largeformatforum it works works at least with Pictorio Ultra Premium (btw, this was a direct respose to your comment in the video), also, the Piezo guys will come up with a special inkset for DN for the P600 as well.
Printing changed my way of editing my pictures. I can only recommand it to everyone!
And what's better than holding your own digital image on a paper in your hands! It always feel like an acomplishement

As an old school darkroom printer I have just recently discovered the creative power in inkjet prints. There are a couple of Moab papers I VERY highly recommend.
I wasn't even looking to get into printing, but I got a Canon Pixma Pro 100 this month and it's awesome!. It was only $49 shipped and I got 50 free sheets of 13x19 paper too. I'm thrilled now and really enjoy the process of printing. I used to be satisfied with the pro labs, but these inkjet prints meet or exceed the quality I was getting. Hands down better than a drugstore print...about equal to Adoramapix, which I use for 16x20's. It prints on canvas too and any type of paper. Ink's expensive, but it is for any printer and you can save if you shop around or want to go into 3rd party inks. I haven't gotten that far yet, but saw some other videos of those who got good results and save $ that way. Now I'm waiting on mats to mount them.
+Steve F Where did you buy it if I may ask?
+Tuze Adorama. was a VIP flash sale
TED:
Thank you for the videos and all the work that you do. I am always watching the videos and enjoy them. I learn something every time.
Bought Epson P-607 half a year ago. Really loves it!
Loved the 2nd large print with the two chairs on the roof top. Also great information here. Good job!
I tought many times about buying a decent inkjet to do my own printing, but until now, I could not justify the investment. But maybe some time...
Maybe a future episode talking about the various printing options today when it comes to digital, especially in terms of say, printing 13x19 for archiving images. Are all printing options equal when if comes to archiving? If you want to sell prints, which print method is not suited for that purpose? Which printing method is better for B&W and which for colour. Personally I'd have my images printed at the local Kodak shop, and I've been wondering about printing methods and longevity of inks when exposed to UV light when displayed in a room (direct sunlight obviously a no-no in any case I'm sure)
Thanks for another cool episode Ted.
Totally agree about the need to produce physical images as well as anything online.
This is like completely off topic as far as this video goes, but I really love the look of that table.
Thanks. Based on your review, I bought the P600.
I really appreciate the comments about Ben Long on Lynda.com. His work jerked me out of a funk I found myself in due to seeing endless iPhone photos turned into Photoshop fantasies at exhibitions, street shows, etc.
I pushed my first shutter release on Nikon FGs shooting Kodachrome and tri-X. I was going to hang it up. I was so depressed by the utter crap I was seeing everywhere that my whole studio was going on the block.
Ben's work on Lynda changed all that moping about and got me learning again. Lynda.com and Ben's attitude in general turned things around for me.
I highly recommend your channel, Lynda.com and anything Ben puts out.
Thanks for your time and comments. It's gone a long way to help me choose a printer. The P-600 certainly seems the way for me to go. Much appreciated.
In the Epson iPrint app, there is an option for borders for each pic you want to print (EpsonConnect or locally).
Four years later, what are you printing with now?
I'm still getting gorgeous prints from my Canon Pima 9500 Mk II, one of the bargain LF printer deals around. Ink is on the expensive side. But such is life.
This printer looks really interesting.
Thanks
Great piece. I'm really interested in home printing and this is going to be the next photographic skill I throw myself into. I would love to see more videos on printing especially around specialty papers. I'm also interested in mounting and framing.
Selecting the right paper is one of the most important parts of ensuring consistency in results and colors.
I hope you'll be going into the transparency printing process in an episode?
+Temp me too
Thank you for all the good information. I am currently deciding between the P600 or the P800. I don't think the extra $550.00 and the added cost for the ink is worth the 4". From the 13" to 17" width. Now the tanks are much larger in the 800. 80ml compared to 25.9ml so the cost per ml is actually 63% cheaper for the 800 to operate so that had me thinking about it. But after watching you and watching a 800 review I think I will go with the 600. I to do a lot of B&W so getting a printer that gives a good result is important to me. Thanks.
Good morning Ted, this is a very interesting and helpful video. A lot of useful information about printing. I have a technical question though. I love metal prints And I normally get mine from Adorama. But do you think it's possible to print on an adhsive film and apply that yourself to a metal substrate.? That might sound strange maybe it's because I don't know exactly how metal prints are made. But do you think it's possible to print your photo & applied it to metal or even acrylic?. Thanks Ted
A timely video, thanks Ted.
How many full color A4 prints can you get with a full 9 cartridge set?
What airplane was he riding in and where. That's a Superb image
I don't think that is nit-picky at all. Borders are a basic option that should be there. Great video, Ted. Impressed with the print from the RX100 III! I hope you're enjoying your new place.
+wolfywho I have a lot of work to do on the new place - not the most video friendly ;-) After Thanksgiving I'll get some time to do that.
+The Art of Photography - Take your time, enjoy, and have fun with it! =)
Thanks wolfywho
Hi Ted,
I'm interested to print photo at home since i'm not satisfied by classical solutions (website, or cheap printers). I ask this week if a photography laboratory can print one of my pics. Its job was okay by the price a bit high for the result.
So I got several question after watching your video :
- What are main criteria to choose a printer (dpi, number of color, paper format) ? I don't think size or speed are important ...
- Do you know other good printers ?
- Why not by a cheaper printer ? Not something like 100$ but around 400$ ?
- How much do you estimate the price for a photo with this one ?
- How do you manage the different size of paper in your printer ? Do you use a paper roll ?
By the way, great videos, great pictures !
More of this, please. Printing really doesn't seem to be featured much in YT's photo community.
Great video, I will be getting into large format and am still looking into printers from Epson. Thanks
Great Video Ted. I love printing my work. I have the Canon Pixma Pro-100 and have really enjoyed it. I found you can do the refills on the ink yourself and save a lot of money. I will have to check out that class on Lynda
What's your opinion on using 3rd party inks and refills? According to some blogs 3rd party inks can prolong the life of your printer. Every time your printer inks get changed, your printer does a purge cycle. This uses inks, but also purges ink carts you didn't change. That's wasteful. The way around it is to use 3rd party inks.
So every time you do a change, you change out all your inks to fresh ones. They get purged, and the old ones get topped up. The upshot from all this is the printer only does one purge cycle per single cart change vs. purging multiple times on the unchanged set of inks when you do single cart changes. A lot less purges = less inks used = longer life.
What's your thoughts on using 3rd party inks? I would use good 3rd party inks for longevity alone if it's an inkjet you really like. Price is secondary for me.
Thanks for saying that it will not work with transparent supports, alternative processes is something that i like to do a lot and have some projects with contacts in wet plates...do you know any ink-jet printer that can do that and thats affordable and retain the quality of new generations printers?
This looks great! Very helpful.
I have an Epson 3880, which has a 'terrible' skewing problem (about 6mm on an A2) which makes me not print anymore. The repair center said the whole thing needed to be replaced to fix it properly. Have you had the change to use a P800 as well, and how did you like it?
Looks like a good printer. I would love to print from home again. I do have darkroom equipment but I live in a place with no spare room. Any recommendations for developing in the bathroom? Cheers Ted!
Thanks Ted! I recently ordered one of these printers after watching the first parts of that Ben Long video on Lynda. I signed up for your free trial offer and forgot to cancel it. Ha. Anyways I wouldn't be printing (or using the dark room.. occasionally) without your guidance. Great video as always. I look forward to more of your thoughts on printing. Cheers.
Great, this has been a bone of contention for some time, I've struggled to print my work and I'm a photography student. Think I need to print my own work...first get a printer. Pleased to find your site. Thanks!
Oh man! You sold me. I will get an inkjet printer the next time I settle down to one place for more than a few years.
Thoughts on film processing -- I don't have access to a dark room. Should I scan + post process + inkjet print the photos OR should I just hand the negative to a photo development studio to print my photos? Is there a diff between color vs b/w film photos?
I found the video interesting and helpful. Thanks.
Very good review...I am ready to step up my game to this type printer...thank you!
Hi Ted. I have just watched your video on this Epson P600. I’m 72 years old and like do painting, and sketching on my iPad Pro, rather then keep getting them printed at the shop, I would prefer to do it in my own home. They are just for myself, I don’t sell my artwork. I was also looking at the Canon Pixma Pro-1000s which cost £359.00. I would appreciate your views and knowledge to help me. Thank You
Cool video as usual, Ted. I've been looking into inkjet printers, this one seems to be turning many heads.
Could you speak to the longevity of the cartridges ? Because I saw that the full 9-cartridge set runs for about $300...How long does that last you for instance (and how much do you print) ?
Do you think it's a better value than sending it out? I haven't had a printer in some time now as it's so convenient to go to a print shot and if they mess up, it's not on me.
Thanks Ted for this elaborated video.
I was planning to buy the EPSON P600, but it is pretty expensive.
Do you recommend any other printers for B&W photographs?
Thanks!
Great video as usual, but you didn't talk about your B&W prints. How did it work? I think I saw several shades of black/grey in the ink tray.
+Chris Barzyz next video - its a whole topic unto itself ;-) Just filmed it - will be up over the next week.
could you explain about the icc profile, and how all work...
Great video Ted! Thanks!
What printer do you now recommend in 2020 for black and white and also color work?
Hello Ted! Love your channel. I use either pictorico or permajet transparencies with the p600. I've had no problem with either. I got the printer primarily to make negatives for contact printing (mainly cyanotyping). I have not read anywhere that there should be a problem, most alt printers seem to go with epson. Perhaps you are thinking of uncoated, plain transparencies? I've tried some cheaper inkjet transparency media but wouldn't recommend it, as they use a sticky surface to absorb the ink, which makes them attract dust and fingerprints.
Oh so good to hear! I just saw on the website that this model didn't "support" them in general. Thanks for the report. I'll test it out!
+The Art of Photography Hi Ted another great topic in your show and I agree with onionkeeper, for uncoated transparency the Epson are not best but no problem to use pictorico and they give you absolutely the best results (on any printer). Coated transparencies are also usable but in most cases you need two prints stacked to get the correct density.
Pictorico works with 3000/3880 and P600/P800 just great.
Loved your BW prints too. Maybe you could show those next time! :)
The challenge I faced was getting the colour chemicals to use in the darkroom I finally concluded that I could not produce a colour print chemically that was superior to a well crafted inkjet print.
What the cost per print come out to, especially compared to pro lab printing? When I last looked it up, a few years ago, it was 3 to 4x more costly to print at home on inkjet when compared to giving the work to a photo lab; and that was even before amortization of the printer itself.
Hey Ted, I am on the Lynda site and not finding the course you mention.
Great vid Ted :-) But I've always been wary about printing with ink! Inks fade fast.. and that is what stops me from printing that way!! What reliable information can you give me to make me change my mind?
have you ever heard of octa print?? i heard there are some print makers using 8 diff black inks in one printer to make better detailed bw print...
Hi Ted, how do u like the EPSON ET 7750? would u recommend it?
I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on the use of outsource printers - £500 plus paper plus inks is an expensive route to printing images. Using an external printer is a very cost effective method.
Oops - comment posted as the Lynda ad kicked in, thinking it was the end! I was thinking more of the upper end printers rather than the Adorama / Wall Mart stuff. I'm based in the UK, so we have different firms at different price points.
Thanks.
+Paul Parkinson depends on the printer and process used. A good printer with good engineers on staff is always a great option. Most will need large print orders in this category. Just depends on how much printing you do.
Perhaps a review of some? Not much applicability on the international scene but set up, use of ICC's etc would be interesting.
Happy Birthday to you from Bangladesh
+Faisal Jafar thanks Faisal!
yes! thank you
Black and white is the real deal,you got it,i have it and is very good,but ink and paper in Norway is very expensive,its about 35 dollar for only one ink,thats about 315 Dollar for the whole collection of inks,you can bye a good used camerea for that price,and i dont will go into the paper price,that are just insane prices."Sigh"
SO... you just stated that transparency materials like Pictorico, etc cannot be printed in the Epson P600. I just called Epson and they have a list of acceptable papers but no transparency material. Well that is a bummer... not happy... will have to call cannon.
I can't find and not show luster list on print setter self limit list on my iMac software and my new print is p800. and but my old 1400 has many show print setting on. and color adjusting ?
Hello, I am looking into starting a small Flyer Printing business in my garage. Can you tell me what is the best Printer to buy to be able to print Flyers (4x6 & 5x7) and also Posters (12x18 & 18x24). Just to give you an Idea I would be printing 20000 flyers and about 300 posters per week. PLEASE help !!! thank you in advance.
What kind of paper did you use for printing it out?
Thanks
Hey Ted, thanks for the video. I did not find any Information about, that I can not print transparent Flim like "pictorico" on the Epson surecolor. Where did you get that information ? Why do you think it doesn't work ?
+Bruno Martelli Its on the paper support page near the top goo.gl/5s73sp
The small print what paper u have used.
I am looking to get a printer, seeing that this video is a little older, is this printer still worth getting, or is there a updated version? Thanks
i second this question! read a lot of reviews on BH and it seems like this printer crapped out for quite a few people. update ?
What paper did you use ?Or if anyone knows? What be much appreciated :)
As much as I love your post , stop banging on . Get to to point
Ted, Epson always says that their printers don't print transparencies but little google search shows otherwise. People successfully printed on trans on Epson and made Carbon transfers. Also check this www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/545009-REG/Pictorico_PICT35011_Premium_OHP_Transparency_Film.html
hopefully we can see an episode from u soon about digital negs
Hi.So this printer can print onto transparacies?I really hope so.I just bought this printer for that very purpose among other things :(
Pictorico will work.
So is has been tested and it does work on the P600....?
canon printer ad for Epson printer video youtube stop confusing me
problem with photo printer is....they are damn expensive even the so called entry level,camera and lens itself already cost a bomb,sigh..
Ted, I really like your videos. But you aren't really doing your work on this channel any credit when you are posting a 'review' of a printer which you have been given for free from Epson? This is actually a big deal and if it is really true that you are withholding this kind of crucial information, we as consumers can't really take your opinions about these kind of products seriously.
Why are you avoiding answering questions about whether or not the printer was given for free? It is both unethical and illegal to provide a review on a donated product without prefacing with the statement that it was donated.
Pretty glowing review, and yet you never disclosed that you were given the printer for free. I only know you were because other youtubers have been given them too but they did disclose that fact. I think that is pretty unethical.
why does every video do lots of talking but you never show a printer actually printing
Why do you talk soooo fast waw
no complains but please can you speak slower.
