Gloss differential really is under better control in this generation of printers – it’s just not a problem on Platine, and it’s not a huge problem even on Epson Ultra Premium Glossy, a torture test paper that one really wouldn’t feed through into a pigment-ink printer EXCEPT to check for gloss differential! If you want to use mostly cheap, resin-coated glossy paper, a good dye-based printer (see the recent review of the ET-8550, Canon makes a bunch as well) is probably a better choice than a pigment printer that is more expensive to buy, uses more expensive ink, and is really made for higher quality matte and luster/semigloss paper. The P900 gives excellent results on both matte and glossy papers – I’m really enjoying the results on my usual favorite Platine, and the combination of this printer and Canson Infinity’s brand-new Arches 88 is the best matte paper performance I’ve seen yet (and I have a bunch more matte papers to test, including a box of Canson Infinity’s new matte Baryta paper that I haven’t gotten to yet).

I really look forward to looking at one of those, because it uses a similar inkset to the P900 plus two additional inks (orange and green). It prints as accurately as anything I’ve seen from a color perspective – the only major contender I’m not familiar with is its own big brother, the Epson P7570/9570. If it keeps going the way it’s started, it’s a lot of printer for the price and size. So far, it is very frugal on several colors, relatively frugal on most, but uses a lot of Light Grey ink.
I want to experiment with a bunch of different papers, and to gain a lot more experience with it before coming to any firm conclusions (I also want to get a handle on ink consumption – it uses most of the starter cartridges during setup, but may be fairly frugal once set up).
I’ve set it up, run an alignment routine, and printed a variety of photos on three or four different papers. I currently have the Epson P900 printer in for testing, and initial results are excellent (with a couple of quirks).
#TELECONVERTER LENS FOR NIKON P900 FULL#
I’m almost sure the GF 23mm will land a Highly Recommended (pending close examination of more prints – so far, excellent), but (much) more on that lens to come… I expect to write the full review of the two lenses up around Thanksgiving, so look for it here shortly after that Epson press image of the P900 – wow, what big trays you have… The P900 is extremely compact for a 17×22” printer when the trays are stowed, but requires substantial clearance in front and on top. The review will be in a pair with the 120mm GF Macro, which recently arrived for testing. It’s an excellent performer on the ultra-high resolution GFX 100S, and I’m just trying to get the time to print a few more samples before writing it up. I had the Fujifilm GF 23mm lens in for a while this summer, and several pictures taken with it have already appeared in recent articles (there are a couple more here). Let’s start with two upcoming reviews, one of which has extensive first impressions and setup experiences here.
