how many square footage of image can each ink cartridge cover?
There is no clear cut answer for this question, even Epson can't give you a definite answer. The reason is that it all depends on the density of the image & how much of each color is on the print. In general these 50ml inks are much larger & better cost per print compared to the cheaper smaller printers. Here is the thing, if your shots are great & you know how to utilize the printer the value of the prints will pay off by far.

What is the difference between Photo Black and ...
What is the difference between Photo Black and Matte Black? When printing B&W photos which one or which ones are used? What about for color prints?
When printing on glossy, semi-gloss and satin print surfaces, the Epson automatically defaults to Photo Black, and back to Matte Black when printing onto matte surfaces.

Thanks for your explanation of copy machine vs ...
Thanks for your explanation of copy machine vs photo printer. Most of us understand that copy machine prints more text documents while photo printer was not intended to print text but photos. Therefore I would never have thought about asking the estimate of P900 ink usage of print text books — Please forgive me my bluntness. I have also noticed that Epson’s change of cartridge size is possibly a way of increase ink price, e.g. 80ml cartridges cost only $58 each, of course the P900 is much compact. For people who upgrade from P800 to P900, it is definitely a leap of ink cost increase. May I use 3 highly pathetic scenarios for discussion purpose: 1. Print a photo of dark sky with 95% of the entire sky is dark blue and 5% with stars in the night sky. I will think the black and blue cartridges will soon go empty while yellow or magenta ink likely untouched. (How many prints could be produced with 50ml blue and black cartridges in this case?) 2. A high key photo of sky with a tint of orange color. In this case I would assume that the yellow and magenta cartridge will be able to produce a lot more prints than scenario 1. ((But roughly how many prints could be made before yellow and magenta run out?) 3. To print a color chart that divides 17X22 into 10 portions with each of them filled with matching colors of the 10 ink cartridge set. I will assume all the ink cartridge will run out at the same time. (How many prints CAN be produced in this case? — this is Epson color science not artistry. Do you think Epson should print this scenario on to every of their ink cartridges labels, just like a pack of frozen lasagne commonly print “for 2 people or for 4 people” on their packages? ) I am just frustrated that no body seem to want to give a serious answer. I am seriously considering pre-ordering the P900 and I have been buying from B&H for over 20 years.
Buy a Canon Pro 1000. It has software built into the machine that breaks down ink usage on a per print basis, down to the .001 ml. Every cartridge holds 80 ml of ink, and it doesnât require any priming after the initial prime. Based on test prints Iâve done where all colors are represented approximately equally, a typical 17x 22 print uses less than 1 ml of total ink, which works out to roughly 1/960 of all 12 ink cartridges. At $699 for a complete set of 12 cartridges, I calculate the average cost of a print to be about $0.85, exclusive of the paper costs. Obviously this isnât entirely accurate since a more rational approach would look at ink usage for a real photo typical for your workflow. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to conclude that one can get roughly 300-400 large prints from a single set of cartridges. Some cartridges might have to be replaced sooner; others later. In my experience with Epsons, the inks run out faster, and there is more wasted ink.

When buying a copy machine, sales people will ...
When buying a copy machine, sales people will tell you roughly how many A4 copies each cartridge can produce, say from 800 to 1000 pages. I do not expect an accurate answer but would like to get a ballpark number about each Epson ink cartridge, or a set of 10 cartridges...otherwise how I make decision if I should per-order the upcoming 900? I am just talking about getting GENERAL ideas.
Copy Machines do mostly text & the amount of pages they tell you are based on 4% or 5% per page which is approx. 10-12 lines of regular size text. Once you have heavier print or graphics or if you print a solid black page it's like printing 25 pages. By printing photos on inkjet printers the case is much different pending on the quality & density of the print & amount of color. If the background is white or even light it uses less & there is no way to give an estimate. What you can do is compare the price of the size of the cartridge & see what will be cheaper per ml. Here for the Epson P900 you get 50ml for $42 & for the Epson P700 you get 25ml for $38. Bottom line is these are professional high quality printers & the outcome of the prints pay off by far.

Can these 50 ml cartridges fit on the new Epson SureColor S700?
These cartridges will not fit the Epson SureColor P700. The correct ink for the P700 is Epson 770.

How many prints can this kit do?
How many prints can this kit do?
It all depends on the paper size, the amount of each color on a print, the density, & white back ground. Even Canon can't disclose that info. The only way you might get an estimate is by using it for a while & based on the print size & style you might get some idea. Lets face fact: The inks are quite large (50 ml) & consider the quality of the prints you get out of this printer actually become priceless in value.

What the expiration dates on them
What the expiration dates on them
I've never received ANY ink cartridges for my SP9890 that had less than 1 year until the expiration date. Your mileage may differ. With all the supply chain issues, I'm sure that B&H is doing their best to get us fresh ones.
