Digital camera reviews of Epson PictureMate Print Pack (2 Ink Cartridges/270 sheets of Glossy Photo Paper) - T5570-270
Digital camera Review: The Print Cartriges Don't Fit The PictureMate Snap
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this paper and ink package at the same time I purchased an Epson PictureMate Snap 4x6 Photo Printer from Amazon. The ink cartridges didn't fit the Snap printer, and I returned the package to Amazon. I had a hard time finding cartridges for the Snap printer, so it may be fairly new and the cartridges hard to find in the after market. That being said, I am sure the paper and ink will be just fine if you have the printer they are designed for.
Digital camera Review: The way to go...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best way to purchase the paper for your PictureMate Printer.... The cost comes out to approx $0.21 per print.. When you start using the second cartridge, reorder another pack...Digital camera Review: This is the way to go for refills
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found that when I buy the 1 ink cartridge/100 sheet refill kits, I run out of paper before I run out of ink. This 2 ink/270 sheet refill pack solves that problem... my ink and paper are consumed at about the same rate (which is much more convenient since you cannot buy the Epson paper separately).
Digital camera Review: Very nice prints
Summary: 5 Stars
This produces prints that are as good as any local photo lab. Plus the pictures are water resistant and fade resistant, unlike the HP products that were available at the time I first purchased my photo printer. I have a Epson PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition. I can give my pictures to people and not worry at all about them holding up to the environment if they display the pictures on their refrigerators. I've receive nice prints from others and displayed them on my refrigerator, but less than a year later the prints are badly fading. This does not happen with pictures from the Epson PictureMate and Epson inks and paper. The cost turns out to be less than 21 cents a picture. I could get cheaper prices at some local labs or over the internet services, but not as fast or as conveniently.Digital camera Review: WARNING! Be careful when ordering this print pack!
Summary: 1 Stars
This print pack is not labeled well. It does not say whether it is a T5570, T5570-M, "270", T5846, or T5845-M print pack. They are not cross-compatible.
If you have a PictureMate Pal, Snap, or Flash printer, you should order ONLY the T5846 for 150 glossy prints OR the T5845-M for 100 matte prints.
If the box does not specifically say that it is for PictureMate Series 200 printers (Pal, Snap, and Flash) such as the T5846 or T5845-M packs - DON'T BUY IT! You will end up with the wrong size cartridge. T5570, T5570-M, and "270" cartridges are not compatible with the PictureMate 200 series.
For 150 glossy prints, stick to T5846, such as:
* T5846 ASIN-B000IT4O0A
* T5846 ASIN-B000KJBRK8
* T5846 ASIN-B000JMFVY4
* T5846 ASIN-B000MFJOZU
* T5846 ASIN-B000L9MES6
* T5846 ASIN-B000NZRJFQ
For 100 matte prints, stick to T5845-M, such as:
* T5845-M ASIN-B000IT4O0U
* T5845-M ASIN-B000LDRJS2
* T5845-M ASIN-B000JMHV38
* T5845-M ASIN-B000OCMVLU
The low rating isn't so much a reflection on the product as it is on the product's packaging. The manufacturer, Epson, knows that it has more than one type of Picturemate system on the market and that the cartridges are not compatible across all Picturemate models - yet the packaging does not state anywhere with which models the print pack is or isn't compatible. This oversight could be easily fixed by adding information to the packaging.
