Epson P900 Problems
« on: July 18, 2023, 01:55:22 pm »

For the second time in 18 months, Epson is replacing my P900 printer which started producing prints that are too light and have a magenta cast (on four different papers printed from Lightroom, Photoshop, and Preview). Has any else had serious problems with a P900 printer?

You wouldn't by chance be using a Mac with ventura 13. Color management is broken and still no fix in sight.

Not broken. Wonky if you don't check all the settings (they can't be relied upon to be sticky). Just got a P900, and profiled it without issue.

I've had my P900 for two years and I have had no problems with color management. I have encountered some feed issues (it does not like papers with a slight curl) and twice the printer failed and had to replaced, but when it works - which is nearly all of the time -it is an excellent printer with a beautiful inkset.
