Summary: Home photos
Comment: Epson PictureMate Personal Photo Printer I am not an expert, but print lots of pictures taken on a point-and-shoot compact camera. I have been very happy over a period of 3 years with this printer. It is reliable. The quality is very good. The pictures are as good as any I get from the local print shop.

Summary: love it!
Comment: This is a fantastic little printer! The quality is better than an in-store print! I'm a completely satisfied customer.

Summary: Major Problems: Won't work with both of my computers
Comment: It's a neat little printer. It did print out several packs of pictures before developing a problem with printing at all. No longer "recognized" by my laptop, and this after uninstalling, downloading their latest drivers, reinstalling (3x so far) and still no luck. Called their nice tech support who sent out a "new" (refurbished) machine and it, too, is not 'recognized' and cannot print from either my desktop or laptop. I'm 'calling it a day' with this frustrating little gem. I'm looking for a good replacement.

Summary: great product but is it worth the price?
Comment: : PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition takes the personal photo lab one step further, making it even easier to view, edit and print glossy 4" x 6" photos. It measure 6 by 10 by 6 inches (HWD), weighs 5.5 pounds, and has a handle. The Deluxe Viewer Edition also has a battery option. Setup is just as easy as with the original. Simply slide the single six-color ink cartridge--with cyan, yellow, magenta, black, red, and blue inks--into the slot in the back, load the photo paper, connect the power cord, and you're ready to print from a camera, external CD or ZIP drive, a USB memory key, or any type of memory card, although you'll need an adapter for miniSD cards and some Memory Stick formats. To print from your computer, the only additional steps are to connect by USB cable and run the automated install program. You can also add Epson's optional Bluetooth adapter for wireless printing.
It takes about 1 minute 19 seconds to 1:45 for each photo, whether printed from a computer, memory card, or camera.
It uses ink and paper, which means the photos for the Deluxe Viewer Edition are also waterproof and smear-proof even immediately after printing, and they cost only 29 cents per print. Now this is the kicker, it is cheaper to print them at Sam's Club for 12 cents per print, so I only purchased this because I can take it to scrap meets and print what I need when I need it. My other photos I send to Sam's Club or even Wal-Mart for nearly the same price of 12 cents. This is more of a convince thing for me. I purchased this mode for only 24.99 at Target where it normally retailed for 199.00 but it was on super clearance. This is what you have to weigh in on, convince for the price or what your pocket book can handle. It has come in handy for me at times and the prints come out nicely so it is a tossup for people on a budget!

Summary: What a Disaster
Comment: I was so excited to get this printer for Christmas but then.....First of all, it won't print the entire picture - it always crops around the edges. Secondly, you can buy brand new ink but you only get about 10 good picture out of a cartridge and then it throws you error messages and tells you to buy a new cartridge. Thirdly, if you don't use it everyday, the ink nozzel has to be cleaned about 10 times before it will print your picture with true colors. The was such a waste of $200.00 dollars. I should have just bought a better printer for my computer. Epson really made a poor product with this picturemate printer. Beware - if you buy you will only be disappointed. Best Buy won't even sell them anymore.
