Epson PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition Personal Photo Lab Printer
October 30, 2006 | | TrackBacks

This weekend I had the opportunity to test out this printer in preparation for an event where many pictures were going to be printed in on-the-spot, quick, polariod type fashion.  I was really impressed with the quality of the photo.  In fact, I would have chosen it over pictures I have gotten printed from snapfish.com in the past.  It took 75 seconds to print one picture, just like it advertised which is only 10 seconds longer than the competitor printer is supposed to.  It comes with options to edit the picture before printing and optional borders can be added.  The only downside I saw was a picture can only be cropped down to 1/3 the picture size and in situations like ours when you don't have the luxury to edit them on a computer, it would be nice to crop it to any size you want.  I'm not sure if it solves the ultimate digital printing dilemma--is it cheaper to print at home or in a lab. It would take awhile to get over the $150 initial investment and $29 ink cartridge/paper combo pack every 100 pictures.  But if you are planning to print several hundreds or even thousands of pictures during it's lifetime, I'm guessing the cost would work itself out and the quality definitely meets or exceeds any lab printing I've seen.
