Quick answer
If you need professional-grade color accuracy and larger prints, the SureColor SC-P900 is the clear choice. For everyday high-quality photos at a lower cost, the XP-15000 offers great value.
Print quality and ink system
The SureColor SC-P900 uses a ten-colour UltraChrome HD ink set designed for exceptional color depth and rich blacks, ideal for gallery prints or client work. The XP-15000 relies on Claria Photo HD inks, which deliver long-lasting, vibrant photos but with a narrower color gamut. If you require precise color matching or print for exhibition, the P900’s ink system gives you a noticeable advantage.
Size and media handling
Both printers handle A3+ media, but the P900 supports roll paper, letting you print panoramas up to 10 feet long on 17-inch paper. The XP-15000 uses dual paper trays for A4 and photo paper, plus it can print on thick card and CDs/DVDs. If you need long, borderless prints, the P900 is the only option; for occasional disc printing, the XP-15000 is more versatile.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Print quality vs. price: The P900’s ten-colour UltraChrome HD inks produce richer blacks and a wider gamut, but the XP-15000’s Claria Photo HD inks still deliver very good results for everyday use at a fraction of the cost.
- Media flexibility: The XP-15000 prints on CDs/DVDs and thick card; the P900 does not. However, the P900 offers roll paper support for long panoramas, which the XP-15000 lacks.
- Connectivity and workflow: The P900 includes Wi-Fi Direct and Epson Connect for cloud printing, plus a large 2.7-inch touch screen. The XP-15000 has Wi-Fi and Ethernet but no touch screen. Choose the P900 for easier wireless setup and remote printing.
