I purchased this Epson Surecolor P600 13" wide pigment-ink printer in August 2018 for about $700+100 shipping to Hawai'i from B&H, and it's lived on the same desk for its entire lifetime. It used to make nice prints, but as these things do over time, the printhead has become clogged and needs to be cleaned manually. I live in Honolulu, and unfortunately there is no Epson service here, so I would have to ship it to the mainland and back--about $150 each way, plus the cost of service, which altogether is more than half the cost of a comparable new printer, so I've purchased a comparable new printer--this time a Canon PRO-300 from Freestyle, which has a user-replaceable printhead, plus there is Canon service on the island, if it needs something beyond what I can do.
I've looked at a few YouTube videos and read various threads about cleaning the Epson printhead, and it looks like more than I want to get involved with. But maybe you are comfortable with that sort of repair, or it would be economical to have the printer serviced at an authorized Epson service center in your location.
So how about $150 plus shipping (about $150 to the US mainland, or free local pickup if you're on O'ahu), and if you can fix it, you can have an excellent printer for cheap. Includes power and USB cables and the CD/DVD printing tray, if anyone still makes CDs or DVDs or Blu-Ray discs and prints on them. All manuals, software, and drivers should be available from epson.com
