Epson PictureMate 100
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 10, 2006I am the original "Afraid of new gadgets" person, but I have found this piece of kit to be absolutelly amazing. Just picture the scene, we've gone to our nephews wedding in an out of town training centre where we're all staying for the weekend. The wedding's in full swing and the cameras are clicking away. At the first break we easily printed off the pictures and there's the proud Mum and Dad showing pictures to all concerned. The quality is as good, if not better than normal pictures. This machine is one of the original "So simple it's just not true"

Epson do it again
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 8, 2006This is an excellent easy to use photo printer. The picture quality is 2nd to none. I found it so easy to use I bought one for my 70+ year old mother who I've just converted to digital photography. If she can work it out from the manual anyone can.
WELL DONE EPSON!!!!!!

Picture mate 100
(4 out of 5) by E. A. Burt on May 8, 2007I found that this is a great little printer and it produces good postcard sized prints which is just what I wanted. However when I ordered one for my daughter it came devoid of essential components so be advised - check your parcel before you start using it and do not be put off by Amazon stating that they cannot replace it - they can. They are always there.

Don't buy a Refurbished Unit!!
(4 out of 5) by Ebay User on May 2, 2007I bought one of these refurbished from ebay...big mistake!!
The printer arrived without any ink cartridge and being a refurb unit it had previously been used and the ink jet heads were blocked.(The manual says not to remove the ink cartridge until a replacement is ready!!)
Cleaning the heads uses ink!!
It took a whole cartridge to clean the heads before it could be used luckily I used a compatible ink cartridge £4.95 instead of the original £20+.
The printer cost me £20 if I had used genuine ink cartridges that would have been 20+, then I would have to buy another cartridge £20+ because I used the ink in the other cartridge cleaning the heads!!
So effectivley my £20 bargain would have cost £60+.
I know what these printers can do and when they are working they are great little things my parents own one (£40 NEW)which made me buy this BARGAIN!!
Anyway all I am saying is spend the extra and buy it new they are worth it and the results from such a small printer are great.
