Epson's PictureMate Snap, which once sat firmly in the middle of the Epson PictureMate line, may now be one of the best values in personal photo labs...We were also impressed by output speeds, which averaged 60 seconds for a 4x6 print, not a bad result for a portable printer...Like the PictureMate Zoom, the Snap supports an optional battery pack for additional portability, as well...
"In the past when Epson printers were the only pigmented ink 4X6" photo printers I would recommend them hands down over the dye ink printers because of the permanence of the prints, now Epson has gone back to dye inks and 4 colors..."
"I would check out other manufactures before buying an Epson portable snap shot printer because many of the other manufactures offer more conveniences..."
Fast
Delivers good results
Low running costs...Odd styling
No software...Epson's PictureMate 240 looks similar to the type of kid's bucket you take on the beach to make sandcastles...Presumably, this was Epson's plan as there's a cover on the back of the printer for an optional battery...On the other hand, the price is low and the print quality is very good indeed......
Epson’s bucket-shaped Picturemate PM240 is the company’s answer to portable printing...Lift the lid and you’ll discover a 2.5in screen (the largest of all the printers on test) along with a set of basic, easy-to-use controls...Indeed, the Epson’s test prints were probably the best quality from among the small-form printers, with warm, vibrant tones and high contrast...
