Epson PictureMate Printer Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 9.00 (out of 10)
The Epson PictureMate is an ink jet–based dedicated photo printer limited to a maximum 4-by-6 photo size. But the photos look as good as anything you can get from film, and they cost only 29 cents each.

The Epson PictureMate is a printer that has a very specific purpose - printing 10x15cm (4x6 in) glossy prints that rival traditional photo labs in an accessible and easy to use way. Unfortunately Epson have not really succeded in either aspect. Although the prints from the PictureMate look and feel great, are waterproof straight out of the printer and have a claimed lifespan of over 100 years, under closer scrutiny the quality is not there, with a clear horizontal banding effect and roller marks present.

It's easy to nitpick the Epson PictureMate but this would mostly be to miss the point. The PictureMate has a very clear raison d'ętre to print long lasting 6x4 photos as conveniently as possible and at an affordable price.

The photographic industry has been banging its head against a brick wall since digital photography reared its head in 1995 when Casio launched the first consumer digital camera. How to ensure the mass market consumer prints digital pictures with ease. In 1995 Casio also introduced a compact printer and, although fairly revolutionary, it wasn't very good. Since then we've had all kinds of products and incentives to make digital photography easy, including in store kiosks, online options and many more home printing options, but none quite so simple as the Epson PictureMate.
