She is now the proud co-owner of an Epson PictureMate photo printer. Even though I've only spent about three days with it so far, I'm ready to recommend it to all you Holiday shoppers. I've never owned any kind of photo printer before, so let me explain why I believe it'll appeal to those of you addicted to instant gratification. For years, I worried about ink costs – opting to online photo printing services over local ones. Even the Epson PictureMate can't compete with a bargain, but when time is of the essence, you'll wish you had something sitting within easy reach. And let me tell you – the Epson PictureMate is about as easy, powerful, and affordable as they come.

The PictureMate from Epson is a photo printer designed to produce lab-quality prints from the comfort of your own home. With its simple one-touch printing, 5,760 x 1,440 maximum dpi resolution, and convenient PictureMate Print Packs, this printer is a remarkable combination of quality, ease of use, and affordability.
