Having read a few reviews for this printer I decided to rope my brother into buying it for our parents for Christmas. I was a little anxious about it (would the photos look good or have lines across them?), however it arrived quickly and looked pretty smart when I took it out of the box. It was actually smaller than I imagined it would be.

Setting up the printer was quick and incredibly easy (even for people who still have to ask how to start the DVD player). The first picture was selected and printed in what seemed like seconds. All my worries about photo quality were put to rest, if you were to show these photos to people they wouldnt know that you had just printed it yourself. We now have a stack of top notch photographs waiting to be put in albums!

Infact, we have printed so many pictures we need to get another packet of paper and a new ink cartridge! Worth every penny!

Bought this as a present for my dad for Christmas.
The printer is relatively small and compact, fast to print, colours are great and its simple to use... so simple even my dad can use it :-) The quality of the photos is really good, based on the price of the paper/cartridge pack the photos work out at about 16p each which isnt too bad. If your looking at buying a photo printer I would definately recommend this one.

Well pleased with the print quality,simple operation and ease of installation. My original ink cartridge didn't even print 20 photos, but, so what, I'd bought a refill at the same time. Trouble was, it didn't fit, so be warned, make sure any replacement is definitely for the PictureMate 100! I hope the new cartridge lasts longer otherwise it will be an expensive hobby.

I was bought this printer for xmas, was'nt all that over-joyed until I started using it and i don't think i've stopped. we have just had a baby and was taking more photo than you could imagine, we were constantly having to go out and get them printed when we visted any one now we either print before we go or take it with us.
I would recommend this to anyone.

I bought this item for my father as a christmas present and he hasnt stopped praising its performance since. He loves it, small and easy to transport, and amazing picture quality. He tested the machine by printing out a photograph he had previously had produced by a photo reprints shop, both direct from the memory card - the Epson Picture Mate version is much better! What an excellent machine and the perfect gift for a digital photographer.
