A2 measures 420 × 594 mm, or two A3 sheets side by side. A photo at that size fills a good part of a wall and reads well from a distance, in a gallery or an office corridor. Photographers can produce exhibition and fine-art prints themselves and straight away, without sending every image to a print house. Before the final print you can try different papers, crops and tones at your own pace, because the whole process stays in your hands.
On top of the main colours, the SC-P900 uses light blue and light purple inks that hide dots in pale areas, and a violet ink that widens the gamut in the blue-purple range. Gradations in sky, water and skin tones stay smooth even at large size, where every flaw would be obvious. A resolution of up to 5760 × 1440 dpi means fine droplet placement, which you notice when looking at an A2 print up close.
Two blacks, photo black for glossy paper and matte black for fine-art stock, plus grey and light grey inks mean the mid-tones of a monochrome image are printed with real grey rather than a mix of colours. The picture stays neutral, without a green or reddish tint, and shadows keep more detail. The manufacturer lists 5760 × 1440 dpi for black printing even in normal quality, so the faster mode does not mean a coarse result.
Connect the printer to a computer with a USB cable, or to the local network via Ethernet so the whole studio can use it. For wireless work there is WLAN and Wi-Fi Direct. The latter creates a direct link to the printer without a router, convenient when someone walks over with a laptop to print just a couple of images. The printer does not have to sit next to anyone's desk; it can go wherever there is room for it.
The standard input capacity is 120 sheets, so a larger series can be loaded in advance and the printer left to work. At 14.8 kg it needs a solid, level surface that does not wobble or vibrate while the print head is moving. With A2 sheets, plan for free space in front of and behind the printer as well, so the paper can feed in and out without obstruction.
Photographers and artists who exhibit large prints and want to make them in-house; photo studios and galleries that need A2 proofs and small editions; black-and-white enthusiasts who care about neutral greys; and design offices that print poster and presentation proofs on site instead of waiting for a print house.
