Summary: Great quality great printer for NOPC printing direct from camera
Comment: Ready to print on the go?! This is the camera for you. Great for parties and family gatherings where you can just plug your camera into the unit and print away.

Summary: toy printer
Comment: The Epson picture mate does a good job of printing anything 4 x 6. It is the only size it prints no matter what the size of your image. If you seriously want to print photos, this is not the printer for you. If you want to play with some photos, this will work.

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: Cartridges don't last
Comment: I am happy with this printer as long as the cartridge is new...I'm only getting about 40 good pictures from each cartridge. I have completed all the maintenance, but I cannot use the pictures that are printing. I'm considering a new printer purchase - and it won't be an Epson!

Summary: no flip-up lcd
Comment: from the specs, it apprears the only real difference between this and the slightly more expensive "picture mate deluxe viewer edition personal photo lab" is the deluxe viewer. this model doesn't have one as far as i can tell.
is that worth the difference in price? probably, because being able to look at your photos in the printer before you print them is a big asset in a printer that can print directly from a memory card. i guess you could preview them in-camera, but then you'd be wasting battery charge. sort of defeats the purpose if you ask me.
on the plus side, to get epson quality for such a low price--the printer costs a little over 1/2 as much as an ink cartridge--is a fantastic value for the money. i own the deluxe model (see my review there) and i'm generally happy with it, although the faults of that one are well-documented: clogging ink, cropped edges, borders unless perfectly aligned, limited to one print size, etc.
Still, if everything is the same except for lcd, than this model is an excellent, maybe even unbelievable, deal at this price. you probably can't get better quality prints for less, but you can almost certainly pay more. i'd definitely give this as a gift (and look like i spent a whole lot more than i did), but for myself, it made more sense to get the viewer version.
if you really want "pro" photos or multiple print sizes, you're gonna need to get a high-end printer, but for stunning hi-contrast snapshots at better-than-drugstore quality in the comfort of your own home, the PictureMate series comes through.
