Epsom Picture Mate 100

Advantages: easy to use, excellent results

...inserted the first ink cartridge and he said it was pretty straightforward. I think I have printed approximately 80 or 90 photos on my printer and the ink is flashing low now. The ink and paper I got for Christmas to go with printer states that there is enough ink and paper to print 100 photos. Replacement ink cartridges cost around £28 (argos) depending on where you shop. I got photo paper with my ink cartridge. You can view a slide show on the screen of all the photos on your card. The memory card can be inserted straight into the printer or you can connect the camera to the printer using a lead. The printer is compatible with quite a few different memory cards.

Advantages: Excellent Quality
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive

...I got the Epson Picturemate 500 for Christmas so that I had my own printer to print photos from my digital camera. My parents also bought me one Picturepack to go with it. The Picturepack contains an ink cartridge and a pack of 100 sheets of 6 x 4 photo paper. I am reviewing the picturepack. The printer only needs one cartridge as it has 6 colours of ink within it. I think this is good as it means you only need to change one cartridge but on the other hand if you use one colour more and it runs out there may still be plenty ink in the other parts, which ends up being wasted. And it doesn't come cheap. A Picturepack costs £28.99. I think this is a lot of money but from the Picturepack you get enough paper and ink for around 100 prints so this works out at 29p per print. I have never counted how many photos I have printed from one... Read review
