EPSON PICTUREMATE<br />
DELUXE VIEWER EDITION<br />
The Epson PictureMate has been our highend<br />
Editors’ Choice for so long that we<br />
keep thinking the next printer we test will<br />
surely replace it. But it’s stayed on top,<br />
thanks to its true photo-quality output,<br />
memory slots, 2.4-inch color LCD, kioskstyle<br />
print menus, battery option, and reasonable<br />
29-cent cost per photo.<br />
Its six-color ink system helps produce highquality,<br />
waterproof, smear-proof images. You can<br />
print easily from your camera, an external CD or<br />
ZIP drive, a USB memory key, memory card, or your<br />
computer. A color LCD screen lets you easily preview<br />
your prints, and an intuitive menu offers options<br />
such as cropping and resizing of images. And<br />
if you love your PictureMate so much that you want<br />
to take it with you everywhere, fear not: With a carrying<br />
handle and optional battery, the PictureMate<br />
is designed for maximum portability.<br />
