Digital camera reviews of Epson PictureMate Dash PM260 Compact Photo Inkjet Printer (C11C694201)
Digital camera Review: Big WOW factor for a 4x6 printer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a professional photographer (photojournalist and wildflower photographer) for more than 20 years, and was looking for a small format printer to just work up 4x6 prints of everyday life.
Having worked in a photo lab many years ago I can be quite picky about my photo processing. I am VERY impressed with the quality and speed of this printer.
I was printing instantly out of the box and directly off a memory card. Needless to say, I quickly ran through the sample ink and paper and was looking for more! Luckily I had ordered a full-size replacement when I ordered the printer. This is a fun and easy to use unit and I love the small size.
The quality of the prints is outstanding - bright and nicely saturated, although a couple could have used tweaking via Photoshop (but in these cases the exposure was a bit off) - certainly nothing to blame on the printer. I can't wait to try a photo run through the computer and worked-up in Photoshop.
The bottom line - these prints are much better than anything I've gotten from a quickie lab. LOVE IT!
Digital camera Review: Consumer Reports was right!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this printer through Amazon after thoroughly reviewing the market for a snapshot printer. Consumer Reports recommends this unit for cost per print, features and speed. As an advanced amateur photographer who also owns and uses a professional Epson R2400 (which exceeds the needs of snapshot printing), I've found the Epson PictureMate Dash an invaluable tool for casual photo processing. The vendor was fast and highly recommended.Digital camera Review: Couldn't ask for more!

Very easy to set up, very small footprint, works as advertised. Prints are excellent! What more do you want?Digital camera Review: Couldn't be happier!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful toy! I've been uploading all of my pictures to print them, and sometimes just want a quick photo here or there when it is special. This works a charm, and I can't tell the difference from the ones I upload to have professionally printed.Digital camera Review: Crooked pictures and black blobs make for unacceptable printing
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very enthusiastic about this printer based on the outstanding reviews it has received and my generally positive experience using Epson professional printers for scientific graphics. While this printer is indeed speedy and produces good quality photos, an apparent mechanical malfunction on roughly every third print causes it to skew the paper slightly sideways when a given print is ~75% done. This leaves a white triangle on one side of the print and leaves the remaining 25% of the print misaligned. This happens using the included Epson starter paper. Additionally, I find small black ink blobs on the trailing edge of about every third photo. I really wanted to like this printer, but I have to say that ruining more than 50% of the prints is completely unacceptable for any printer.
