Epson PictureMate™ C11C623001 InkJet Photo Printer

Pros: Low cost of prints, smudge/water proof, card reader, compatible with external devices
Cons: Hardware is huge & not very "portable", muddy yellows, sometimes muddy text & contrasts

Epson is a printer manufacturer that has more of a loyal following for a customer base, rather than one based on overall quality. Low end Epson printers are prone to finicky issues relating to software, cartridge replacement, and ...

Pros: Camera's hardware design has great potential, built-in mic performs well. New drivers.
Cons: Logitech's slow response to known driver defects was unacceptable.

(Update: 4/24/07: A software/driver upgrade has dramatically improved the performance of this camera, nearly solving the lighting issue which was by far the biggest issue. I can now recommend this camera for those considering it, but not without ...

Pros: Excellent Quality Prints, Convenient
Cons: Hmmm... the ink doesn't last forever?

I had taken my digital photos to be printed at several different stores with photo labs and was disappointed with the quality I was getting. In considering which photo printer to buy, I liked the fact that the Epson PictureMate prints are waterproof. ...

Pros: Good web support, fantastic picture quality.
Cons: At $120 its very expensive for a webcam

Repeat Customer This is my fourth webcam purchase. I was sold on the Logitech name, and I've had good experience in the past with their products. This is in theory the Cadillac of webcams. Its so...Big? I was actually surprised at ...

Pros: Great design, clear microphone
Cons: Troublesome install and severe video lighting problems.

Overall, the Logitech Ultra Vision appears to be a well designed web cam with thoughtful features that falls short on performance. Installation issues on Vista resolved only with a tech call, and dark video in any lighting condition. Problems that may or ...

Pros: Portable, prints beautiful photos at home, uses memory cards.
Cons: Only prints 4x6, nothing else

Really good printer for the price. Why go to a photomat to develop pictures when you can do it at home? The only downside is that the biggest prints are 4x6 but that is all! I love the fact that it's portable, you can take it anywhere with you! It is ...

Pros: printed good photos when it worked, compact, user-friendly control menu
Cons: $9.95 service charge for troubleshooting help on "out of warranty" items 1 year old

I received an "Epson PictureMate personal photo lab" printer as a gift last year. It has been used about 10 times to print about 100 photos. I have not used it in about 4 months, so today I turned it on and got a "General Error" that directed me to the ...

Pros: Cropping, B&W, Sepia, Color Fixing, Wallet size
Cons: Doesn't do 5x7's

I highly recommend this photo printer. The instructions were super easy to follow. Once I got it up and running (approx. 10 minutes). My mom and I anxiously awaited the pictures. When the first one came out, all we kept saying was, "Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! I can't believe this! It looks like I just came back from a photography place and had it developed!" In fact, I think the pictures are even better quality than most places that I went in the past! It is great for cropping photos or putting them in Black and White or Sepia or making them into wallets. I love it!

Pros: Excellent image quality. Easy to set up and use with any camera or memory card.
Cons: Prints up to 4X6 pictures. LCD screen is B&W. No preview or thumbnail view.

I recently purchased the Epson PictureMate Personal Photo lab as a companion to my 3.2 Megapixel still digital camera. I have never owned a photo printer and had been using a deskjet printer to "proof" my images before going to the local Walgreens or Target store with a CD in hand.
Setting up the PictureMate was easy as peeling a banana, and installing the software was a breeze. There is a front panel concealing card slots for every imaginable digital memory card. The top of the printer is the home for the easy-to-use interface including power buttons, menu selector and the large-print "Print" button. The LCD panel is very easy to read, and the menus are quite easy to navigate.
Printing from a memory card brings up a selection to print a proof sheet. The USB port allows saving pictures to a portable drive, or attaching the PictureMate to a PC or MAC.
The prints were gorgeous, and borderless. The six-color ink cartridge is easily replaced without any hassle.
The device has a handle for easy portability, and is small enough to fit in a backpack or large camera bag.
