review

The PictureMate Pal ($150 street) is the least expensive model in Epson's second-generation PictureMate line, but it's by no means a low-end printer. Granted, it cuts a few corners, leaving out things such as photo cropping tools. But when it comes to the two core issues for any dedicated photo printer—output quality and speed—it's among the best I've seen. That makes it less of a low-end printer than a tremendous bargain for the price.
