Printers : Epson PictureMate

Purchased a Kodak DX6490. While buying my camera I saw the epson display on this printer. It made me think of my wife wishing she had pictures to take to work and show the girls. I also have had issues emailing pictures because of size limits from ISP's.

I hooked up this printer and inserted the flash ram card and in a heartbeat it printed an index. I picked the pictures I wanted and when printed I was just stunned as to how great the pictures looked.

The paper and ink cost me $28 bucks and now I can make 100 prints at will. This is a great addition to my computer stuff.

PS It's cheaper then the Kodak to use which I might have bought except the paper was $28 for only 25 prints. Hide Full Review

I take a lot of digital pictures and have in the past been relucant to print them all out because of issues printing using a normal inkjet photo printer. I got the PictureMate and was pleased at how easy it was to setup and use. The lack of a preview feature can be gotten around by printing proof sheets, but it should be put into future versions of this printer.

The value pack of cartridge and prints is a good idea. I plan on purchsing the carrying case accessory when it is available, so I can print pictures on the fly. the PictureMate's small size should make it easy to take on vacation/travel.

Speed is good considering the beautiful quality prints produced. I try to smear the prints right after printing and they reacted just as good as lab-produced prints! No image damage. Only 4x6 prints are supported - I hope that larger print sizes will be available in the future.

Overall, another great product from Epson! Hide Full Review

I loved the PicutreMate, used it

during Hurricane Katrina for other friends pictures,the pictures don't fade, they are "water proof". You have to keep the heads clean to get sharp pictures. The photo fix is awsome. I loved it so much, I just bought the newer model. I got the PictureMate when they first came out over 4 years ago and it is still working great. I would recomend it to everyone!! Hide Full Review
