Conclusion
The Epson SureColor SC-P600 has sufficient features without any unnecessary bells and whistles. The quality of photo printing is excellent especially with B/W images. However, I had to lighten up some images with an adjustment layer before printing. Once tweaked the files printed out beautifully in both colour and B/W. It is worth pointing out that colour calibration and accurate profiling of your monitor is essential for producing prints that match displayed colours.
The Epson SureColor SC-P600 has plenty to offer the photographer in quality terms and will no doubt satisfy the most demanding user.
