Digital camera reviews of Epson PictureMate Dash PM260 Compact Photo Inkjet Printer (C11C694201)
Digital camera Review: A great little compact unit.
Summary: 4 Stars
I had purchased this unit because i was dissatisfied with the prints i was getting from like walgreens and walmart. even though i adjusted my pictures before i had prints made, so many of the prints i got back weren't even close to what i was seeing on my computer. i printed a couple of the same pictures on my all in one printer and they turned out much closer to what i was seeing on my computer. this is why i purchased a photo printer. i have only used it so far with the sample pack that came with it, but the prints were a good quality. it took some wasted prints to learn the editing that could be done, but overall the adjustments are pretty easy now to do. i like the portable use of it, which will let me take the printer when i go to indoor sports shows. i like the idea where i can just use my memory card from the camera and print my own prints quickly. i am anxious to find out how the epson adjustments will work with pictures right from the memory card, when shooting with no flash in sports mode often leaves adjustments to be done to the picture. of course, i can always just wait and put the pics into my computer and adjust them and transfer the finished edited pics to a flash drive, and then use the epson to do my prints. or use the computer with the epson. whichever way, i am quite happy with the sample prints i had done and i believe i will get a lot better prints then from other stores.Digital camera Review: Amazing Quality! Brilliant Color, and Fast!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a Nikon D40 camera and I have been researching the best 4x6 photo printer to buy. After much research, I decided on the Epson Picturemate Dash. I have to say that I am so impressed, I have already showed and demonstrated it to 3 people and they immediately ordered one for themselves.
The printer accepts any memory stick, USB thumb drive, direct connection to camera and displays all photos on its built in LCD screen. The photo paper and ink come in a pack and yield 150 photos which comes out to about $.23 per photo. Pictures print amazingly fast...in less than 15 seconds.
The quality of the prints in most cases surpassed the labs that I go to. If you love gadgets, have a passion for great photos, you will be so happy you bought this printer!
Digital camera Review: Awesome Printer
Summary: 5 Stars
The Picturemate printer has made life a lot easier. My non-profit group entertains at-risk and underpriveliged children. We dress in animal costumes ie Bingo the Dog, Funky Monkey etc. We take pics of a child with an animal and create a photo button for them. We used to use Polaroid film, which has become expensive and almost obsolete. Now we use a digital camera and print out up to 300 great pics for pennies on the dollar with the print pack that includes ink.
The printer arrived in a timely fashion, in good condition, and at a great price!
Digital camera Review: Bad Printer With Bad Support
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this product and it didn't work. OK, fine, that happens. Here's the problem - I called Epson support, and after 45 minutes and a whole ink cartridge they confirmed that it didn't work and offered to replace it, my BRAND NEW printer that didn't work, with a REFURBISHED printer. If I wanted a used printer then I would have bought a used printer.
Don't buy Epson products. EPSON DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEM!
Digital camera Review: Be careful if used infrequently
Summary: 2 Stars
If you plan to use this printer infrequently (sometimes weeks or months between uses) then please be aware that you may experience a problem with the ink drying and clogging the system. After 5 months of no activity (and no cartridge in the unit), I found that the printer is unusable because of an ink clog. Repeated self-cleanings over a series of days were of no help. I contacted a repair center and it would cost $120 to fix (which is not worth it). The technician said that on this style of printer you need to print a photo each week to keep the ink from drying inside it.
It is a great printer when it is used frequently. Just don't let it sit unused for weeks at a time or you will invite problems.
