Epson PictureMate 290 review
It's certainly not a looker, but can this printer impress elsewhere?
Excellent quality prints ; Quick ; Well-designed
Steep price
It’s expensive, but the Epson is fast, practical and produces extremely bright and vibrant prints. The handle, speed, paper capacity and CD writer make it great for parties.

Portable printing for the avid family photographer
Although it isn't the most stylish printer out there, the PM270 prints fairly fast and produces decent quality. It won't fit in your backpacking luggage, but for the average family photographer, the PM270 is portable enough to take away on holidays.
Fairly portable, large LCD screen, impressive quality printing
Slightly bulky, expensive, battery isn’t bundled

Epson PictureMate PM-400 review
The PictureMate PM-400 is the newest portable photo printer from Epson, and lets you make lab-quality photos at home. But the convenience of this specialty printer comes at a premium.
Makes 3.5 x 5, 4 x 6 and 5 x 7-inch prints ; Compact, lightweight ; Excellent photo quality ; Wireless connectivity
Can be costly to buy, maintain ; No portable battery option

Epson PictureMate PM-400 Personal Photo Lab Review
The Epson PictureMate PM-400 Personal Photo Lab prints high-quality photos at up to 5 by 7 inches, but the cost of even 4-by-6 photos is higher than with Epson's 4-by-6 dedicated photo printers.

Epson PictureMate Zoom
The Epson PictureMate Zoom is faster, cheaper, and equipped with a much larger LCD than the model it replaces.
Built-in DVD/CD-RW drive for archiving photos and printing from optical discs. Low price per photo. Large LCD.
Relatively big and heavy.

Relatively big and heavy.

Epson PictureMate Snap review
main content The PictureMate Snap is the middle offering of Epson's three personal photo labs. For $200--$50 more than the entry-level PictureMate Pal --you get everything the Pal offers, plus an adjustable preview LCD, faster prints, and the ability...
Fast print speeds; allows for greater control over image settings; optional battery pack available; able to crop images on printer; can save images to external storage devices; adjustable LCD.
Photo quality could be improved; frames are limited mostly to Disney-themed ones.
With its range of features, decent print quality, and fast print speeds, the Epson PictureMate Snap is a solid choice for snapshooters who want an at-home photo lab.
