Amazon.com Product Review
Amazon.com Product Description You've got a high performance digital camera. Now it's time to bring those photos into the world, with an easy-to-use, versatile, and affordable photo printer. With the touch of a button, you can print lab quality photos that look and feel like lab prints.
Take a closer look at the PictureMate Express Printer's functions. |
With its unique six-color pigment technology and superior high resolution, the PictureMate Express produces rich, vibrant colors and beautiful skin tones. You can also print your photos in black and white or sepia tones, with classic borders or borderless. Or, print handy wallet sizes. You can even crop and resize your photos. All this without having to turn on your computer. Print straight from your camera's USB interface (the PictureMate Express supports the PictBridge direct printing standard), or use the printer's memory card slot to print 4 x 6 photos in just 80 seconds. The PictureMate also supports all popular memory cards. Plus, you can use the "Save Photo" button for easy one touch backup of digital files directly to an external CD-R, Zip drive or USB thumb drive.
The PictureMate Express is also designed for economy and high print quality. Your photos will be water, smudge and fade proof--lasting as much as two to four times longer than leading brands of photo lab prints. In fact, using the PictureMate cartridge and PictureMate paper, prints can last up to 200 years in archival sleeves in album storage. And, for the first time ever, print your 4 x 6 photos at home for a cost comparable to many retail photo labs -- at about 29 cents per print, you can print to your heart's content. Using a unique six-color pigment ink system, you'll get incredible color and detail with every photo. The printer supports up to 5760 x 1440 optimized DPI (dots per inch) resolution.
Note: A USB cable is not included with the Epson PictureMate Express.
What's in the Box PictureMate Express Edition, paper and cartridge for 20 4" x 6" photos, power supply, quick start booklet and software CD.

Great Product,

1st off, this is the only photo printer I've used, so I can't compare it to other manufacturers/models. I'm more than satisfied. The print quality is outstanding and the printer driver works great from multiple applications. The manufacturer claims the printer ships with paper and an ink cartridge for 20 prints. I did get the 20 sheets of paper, but I've already printed 30 photos and my ink is about 20% used, so apparently they ship this printer with a full (100+ prints) ink cartridge, so it's probably a safe bet to buy some extra paper.
I also bought the 270 print-pack of paper/print cartridges, which works out to no more than 24-cents per print. Be sure to factor the price-per-print into your purchase equation. This printer exceeds all others in this regard, and you don't sacrifice quality in the bargain.

Does what it claims, and does it well.,

This is an excellent photo printer for your 4x6 needs. The only thing that would make it better would be an LCD display of your pictures, but if you realy want that feature, you can always spend some extra dough and get the Deluxe model which offers the LCD.
The printer is easy to use, with or without being hooked up to your PC. It's compact enough to even take with you on vacation if you so desired. I can't speak to the longevity of the prints, since I've only had this item for a little less than 2 months, but the initial quality is certainly excellent.

Most of the reviewers have it right about Epson's PictureMate system. What a dream to set up and use. Simply fantastic prints with vibrant color and incredible detail. If you want to print great 4 x 6 images very economically look no further. Your existing images will really come to life for you. I thought I needed a new camera. I was wrong.
