 Dependable Printer with Great Picture Quality July 3, 2008
I've had this printer for over a year now and it's still going strong. I previously owned an Epson Stylus Photo 780 that I had a lot of problems with (clogged heads and old drivers), but after reading some of the Amazon reviews about the PictureMate, I decided to take a chance and buy it for my husband.
It worked perfectly right out of the box, and have never had any problems with clogged heads. Sometimes I let it sit for almost a month before using it, and I keep it in a somewhat dusty/hairy environment, and it has still worked every time. The picture quality is great. I don't use Epson's software to print, I print through the Photoshop dialogue box on my computer, so I can't really comment on that function. I get more than 100 photos out of each printer cartridge, so I actually end up having extra cartridges rather than paper.
The one thing I don't like is that you have to buy the paper/ink cartridge together. Oftentimes, I only need one or the other and it ends up being a waste. In the future, I would love to see this printer be able to print 5x7s as well as the 4x6s it can print now.
 Prints Beautifly But Still Not Worth It June 30, 2008
I recieved this as a this for a gift in 05 and completely stopped using it by mid 2006. While the prints were perfect, and it was nice to be able to jazz people by the ability to print pics from their visit--same day, there were just too many cons. I HATE that I am forced to buy the ink in an expensive package, combined with 100 sheets of Epson picture paper. The print pack ink is guaranteed to last for ALL of the 100 paper's but it never lasted beyond 30 prints for me! I have built up quite the stockpile of left over printer photo paper now, so much for "guaranteed to last". I thought Epson would be the answer to my printer nightmares (I'm a former HP printer user), but they have proven to be the worst of all with their strictly proprietary products.
 Big Performance for a Little Machine! March 25, 2008

Epson PictureMate Personal Photo Printer
When the machine arrived I took one look at the size of the box (small)and figured I'd be trying to put the thing together for the next week! What a pleasant surprise...a completely ready-to-go machine , small in stature (about 5"x 10") but big in performance! I loved the simplicity (I am no techno wizard!)and easy to follow instructions! In less than 2 minutes I had printed a fantastic photo! It was a better print than the ones I have done at a local store. For the price, it is a great deal!
Great Printer! January 31, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great printer! I didn't buy it here, in fact I saw it in a store that I guess was no longer going to carry it and nabbed the last one for $18!!! I think it's the best buy I have ever made!!! It's easy to use, has some neat frames that are fun for kids pics and makes spectacular photos. I used up the 20 pages of Epson photopaper that came with it and tried some glossy Kodak that I had on hand. It prints just as great on it too! The initial tonor cartridge is said to only print about 20 photos, but I've printed 30 so far and the quality is a good as the first one. Don't just replace the cartridge just because it says it will only print x number of photos...
I would (and have) recommend this printer to anyone. I have only used it by putting in my SD card from my camera so far. I would love to purchase a battery for it, too, but haven't yet.
Great printer at any price!!
 Great Quality Prints, Poor Nozzle Performance January 27, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Epson PictureMate can produce crisp, vivid, high quality photographs. As a glance these photos look like what you would expect from a professional photo lab. The printer is compact and very easy to use.
Unfortunately, this printer has serious recurring problems with the nozzles. Most non-Epson printers affix the nozzles to the ink cartridge so serious nozzle problems can be fixed by simply replacing the ink cartridge. Not so with most Epson printers including the PictureMate.
Clearing clogged nozzles can be done by using the printer's menu. You'll often run the utility several times to clear them out only to have them stop working again after printing a few photos. Of course, the nozzle cleaning utility attempts to force ink out through the nozzle in an effort to unclog them. This greatly reduces the amount of pictures you can expect to get from their 100-photo paper/ink packs. I have yet to print 50 out of the advertised 100 photos Epson says I can print from a single photo pack. You'll quickly accumulate paper you won't have enough ink to print on.
As a career IT professional, I am truly baffled at how Epson printer receive such high ratings from industry specialists when just about every Epson printer I've supported has this very exact same problem with no way to fix them aside from disassembling the printers and manually soaking the nozzles in special solutions. Check out another brand of printer entirely. You won't be sorry.
