"Best printer out there for the price! Bar-none" on by hhmixer
Pros: Fast prints, durable, great picture quality
Cons: none so far
Summary: I've own this printer for about 2 months now and it has been a joy to use. The prints come out terrific and are even better than the prints I get from Costco or Wal-mart. I like the convenience of having the ability to use this printer on the go also with the optional battery. I bring this little printer to all of my son's little league games and offer to print pictures for the other parents. They all seem to love the print quality. This 4x6" printer is probably one of the best on the market. I have used HPs as well as Canon 4x6" printers.

I picked up a PictureMate Snap 2 weeks ago and it's Awesome! The images look great! I have no idea what the editor is talking about when she says "images could be better". -
"This would be a wonderful printer if it worked" on by kcordes
Pros: Fast, Good features, Good print quality
Cons: Ink jets clog frequently, ink is expensive and only sold bundled with paper.
Summary: I normally like Epson printers and at first I really liked the PictureMate. However, the ink jets malfunctioned after one month and Epson had to send me a replacement. I try to use the printer every month or more, and everytime there's a nozzle problem or head alignment problem, fixing this wastes a lot of ink. Since ink is sold bundled with paper I now have about 500 sheets of paper and no ink. This is getting too expensive. What should've been a fun product has been nothing but a headache. I really don't recommend this printer at all.

"AWESOME PICTURE PRINTER" on by rickl
Pros: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PRINT PICTURES
Cons: NONE TO REPORT
Summary: WOW !! This is a great printer for printing all you pictures. We bought it and took it home and were printing lab quality photos within 15 minutes. The menu is very easy to use and you can crop your pictures,remove red-eye,add frames or even make duplicates very easily. I was very impressed with how easy it is to use and the fact that you don't need to connect to a computer because it has a small lcd screen to preview all your pictures and whatever you choose to do to them before you print.This is the printer to get if you want it done right the first time and not have to worry about how the pictures will come out.

"Best personal photo printer on the market" on by peanut1964
Pros: Unbelievable picture quality, impressive speed, portability
Cons: Slightly on the noisy side during ink prep
Summary: Being an amateur underwater photographer, I really wanted and needed a dedicated photo printer versus an all-in-one. I also wanted something portable. I have a Dell all-in-one that prints beautiful pictures too, but it's not portable and it's extremely bulky for my small office. The PictureMate Snap is exactly what I hoped it would be. It prints the best quality pictures in 45 seconds or less. And unlike the pictures I printed from my Dell, I don't have to dry them overnight. They can be shared immediately without worrying about scratches or smudges.
Setup was simple. Plug it in. Open the top. Turn it on. Insert the inkpack. Insert the paper. Start printing to your heart's content. I printed my first picture within 5 minutes of opening the box. I only had to wait for the ink to load. I found that process to be very noisy but the printing itself is much quieter.
Using the printer was even easier. There's an instruction manual somewhere on my desk but I haven't had to use it yet. It's intuitively simple to use.
For scrapbookers out there, this is the perfect printer to take to crop-aways to print last minutes pics, or to reprint pics when we get too clever with the scissors and shape makers.
Finally, a quick but quality way to get all those digital images off the camera and into our photo albums without trekking to Walmart to use the Kodak kiosk!
A+ to Epson.
