It's been a tough one with my original P900 being stuck at Epson after needing repair (a shipping related problem)
Actually a significant difficulty was that the P700 and 900 are so similar to each other that I had to keep checking that I'd not missed things that I thought I might have already...
After a while with a P900 here (and a P700) I've finally finished a review, if anyone's thinking of getting one

I've also a video (~20mins) which covers most of the features

Both are still here, so...
Indeed, I realised a while ago that people who actually buy prints don't get the magnifying glass out.
I think it's also important to go through the range of 'quality' settings with a new printer and see what actual differences there are, as opposed to any that marketing might 'suggest' ;-)...
The density values are the usual standards, (status T etc)

Of course just how useful Dmax values are for most people printing their images is a vastly different matter ;-)
It uses some colours.
The effect is distinctly different to what I've thought of as 'bronzing' over the years. The clue for me is the range of colours, which look like interference colours from very thin layers. It looks very much like the effect you'll get heating a sheet of steel from...
On a less contentious issue...
It's being introduced on a market by market basis, so whilst Australia has it, other Canon regions will be introducing it in due course (I have no dates or any official comment).
I hope to have one at some time to look at in detail ;-)
One thing I'd note is the chromatic variation of the (ABW) bronzing I see with the P700 - they look like interference colours, subtly different from what I've called 'bronzing' in the past. The nearest I'd suggest is the sort of oxidation colours you someitimes see on steel where some heat has...
It cannot be refuted - but I can say it's an irrelevance to many people :-) The P700 replaces the P600
Glad to see I was 'completely wrong' about the tanks rather than just mistaken :-)
As to your assorted conjectures about Epson and Canon's motivations, I can't really comment, other than...
As one of those 'reviewers', I do believe that the P700 replaces the P600 and will carry on describing it as such :-)
Sure, it's rather more than the remodel that turned the PRO-10 into the PRO-300, but from a product lineup POV the P700 is the P600 replacement and that is all most purchasers...
I've had a P700 on loan from Epson for a while and have written up a lengthy review if anyone's curious.

I've also looked at B&W printing

There are also...
I hope the video was of help - it's actually the first time I've added one to supplement the normal lengthy written reviews I do.
For myself the 300 fixes virtually all my gripes with the pro-10 (I've personally no time for refills/3rd party inks - YMMV) although I'd personally pay a bit more...
Sorry, I don't really do comparative reviews at all. I'd note that, although I did a lengthy review of the P600 when it came out, I don't have one here to compare.
As for the profiles, I make mine freely available (for non-commercial use) for people to make their own comparisons with whatever...
I've been sent a P700 by Epson UK to have a look at for a new review. If anyone has any specific questions, please do let me know and I'll see if I can address them
Some may have come across my printer reviews on the Northlight Images web site, which I'll be adding to over the next few weeks (A...
I do appreciate some people want detailed comparisons of printer models, inks and profiles in their reviews. All good and well, but not from any of mine I'm afraid.
The printer reviews are already quite detailed and to add in that sort of detail - in a meaningful way - would take a lot more...
For me it hits all the pain points of the PRO-10. However it was quite a few years ago that I had that here to test.
The wireless setup is really easy, I just didn't use it during lt my testing - worked well transferring a picture from my EOS RP to iPhone to printer
As to smaller - it's still...
I've been testing the PRO-300 printer (PRO-10 replacement) for the last few weeks and have written up a lengthy review.
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/canon-pro-300-printer-review/
Some definite improvements over the PRO-10
-It's fixed margin/borderless problems of the PRO-10 for all...
I have to disagree there... :-)
Given it's a spectrophotometer rather than a colorimeter, it depends on the software driving it to a much larger extent. Traditionally spectrophotometers have been noisier at low intensities, so with the older measuring head in the i1Studio you might well get a...
