Epson SureColor P600: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Epson SureColor P600 right for you?

The SureColor P600 succeeded the R3000 in 2015 with UltraChrome HD inks, a deeper black on matte paper and a touchscreen, and it was the standard A3+ fine-art printer for serious photographers until the P700 arrived. It switches between photo and matte black automatically but wastes some ink doing so. Most used units are in good order; the issues to check are head clogs from idle time and the waste ink pad counter.

Best for: Photographers wanting a proven A3+ fine-art pigment printer

Setting up the Epson SureColor P600

Install the driver and Epson Print Layout from epson.com/support and connect by Ethernet or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi from the touchscreen. Use Epson ICC profiles and let the printer manage black ink switching. Feed thick paper through the front straight path with the rear output support extended.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Epson's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Epson SureColor P600 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• Epson T760 UltraChrome HD cartridges (9 colours)

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
