Good Points: When it works, great photos.
Bad Points: The Epson cartridges are hugely expensive. My unit was lightly used and then began to give poor results due to 'blocked nozzles'. Now discovered that this condition cannot be economically repaired, so I have a pristine unit fit only for the dump.
General comments: Don't buy one!

I have owned an Epson Picturemate digital photo printer for 6 months and have just put it on Ebay. The average cost of each picture you print is about £0.50, which is very high.

While the Epson PictureMate digital photo printer prints beautiful pictures, it is not worth the cost. The print nozzles jam up constantly, leaving you with a bad print. You also have to buy the ink cartridge and paper together, and the ink never lasts as long as the paper. Customer service for Epson is terrible; they are always rude and do nothing to help. I had trouble with mine after three months, and they would not exchange the unit, saying that I would have to return it to them at my co ...

The Epson PictureMateis the greatest printer. I absolutely love it. The slow printing is the pits, but quality makes up for it. Being able to take a picture and email or make a card immediately etc is awesome. Look around for the best price and best price on refill packs.
