Compact Photo Printer from Epson


Friday, 30 May 2008Epson is the brand of choice for many pro photographers. I personally agree with that opinion since I have been using many Epson photo printers and tried many others, so I bought its latest portable printer, the top of the range PM 290, for my dad.Many beginners in digital camera (including my dad) found it difficult to transfers photo files from memory card into a CD. This is the main reason why I chose this printer for Dad.
Second, the photo print quality also very good compared to Noritsu minilab photo printer. This printer has a great resolution of 5,760x1,440 dpi that will in theory deliver much more detail than similarly priced dye-sublimation printers. According to many photo magazine reviewers, this epson picturemate PM 290 beats its competitors in quality. But I would rather think that the print quality is similar to canon Selphy ES1 compact photo printer that I tried.The following pictures illustrate the main parts of the printer:


The cost per print is very reasonable. You can get as low as 20 cents per print (4R) including photo paper and ribbon.


I would highly recommend this printer for you who need the following features:1. Very good photo print quality (compared to minilab print quality)2. Low print cost (around 20 cents per 4-by-6-inch print)3. Built-in CD burner4. Built-in rechargeable battery for traveling
