David,

That looks like a really good mono image and it should make a good print.

I hope the SC P900 becomes available soon.

Everything seems to be in short supply right now.

P900 suddenly available. I guess a container arrived. I now have one sitting in my spare room.

It's more compact than I feared and the packaging suggested. The unit is 24" (60cm) wide, which is not a lot bigger than the A3+ printer I used to have. It's a bit deeper and will obviously need more space around it for the print trays, but not bad compared to the old R2400. A bit flimsy perhaps, thin plastics, but you can't have low weight and bullet proof construction. I carried the box upstairs one handed, while earlier generation A2 printers used to ship on a pallet.

The t47 ink carts are much bigger than I'm used to - they hold 50ml but look like they could hold twice that. A lot more than the 9ml/10ml carts for A4 printers.

I need to download drivers and install the carts, then I can test out whether there was any point to full frame but before I do that I need a table to put it on. Eventually, I will convert my garden tool shed into a mini editing suite but for now I need a table of some kind.

David,

Good stuff. Those printers produce really fine prints. I've been using the A3 + SC-P600 for the last 3 or 4 years with excellent results. The only criticism I have of it is ink waste changing from Photo Black to Matte Black which is no longer necessary in the newer SC-P700 or in your new SC-P900.
