How does the ink system work for black and white prints?

What is the significance of the expanded blue color gamut?

Does the printer come with a roll paper holder?
The SC-P900 comes with an integrated, spindle-less roll paper unit for easy loading of roll media. This is standard for the 17-inch model.
Troubleshooting
Printer not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the printer and a working power outlet. Check if the power button is properly pressed.
Poor print quality (streaks, faded colors)
Run a nozzle check and head cleaning cycle through the printer's utility software. Ensure you are using compatible, high-quality paper and genuine Epson ink.
Paper not feeding correctly
Check that the paper is loaded correctly in the tray or roll feeder, with guides set properly. Ensure the media thickness setting matches the paper loaded. Remove any obstructions in the paper path.
Wi-Fi connection issues
Restart your router and the printer. Ensure the printer is within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Re-enter the Wi-Fi password on the printer's control panel.
Error message on the display
