Epson sent me a PictureMate Show to review, it retails for 299. It is different from most printers in that it only prints 4 by 6 photos or smaller, you can divide the photo into 4 and print 4 2 by 3 photos.

It is unique because it has the screen, it’s not a touch screen, it comes with a remote that you can use to navigate the menus. The screen can read all the photos on any digital card and show them as a photo show. The best part is that after you print a photo it is stored on the hard drive so after you print and take out your cards then you can watch all of the photos you printed. My daughter was so excited the other day to see a photo of her puzzle she took. We were doing an organizational project and she was helping. You can choose from 12 different slideshow formats, there is a calendar, a clock, and a museum tour just to name a few.

You can print in 37 seconds, it’s quiet, ink is easy to load, you just push it in with your finger like you can see in the photo above. The screen is 16:9 tilt digital photo display with WVGA resolution (800 x 480) to easily view and edit photos. It has a handle for easy portability and you can get a case for it to protect it for travel.

Additional Compatibility for Added Convenience

  • Prints from PDAs and digital camera cell phones with optional Bluetooth® adapter4
  • Supports PictBridge®

The ultimate companion in photo printing has arrived with the release of the affordable, portable Epson PictureMate® Charm. Offering the same impressive features and results as previous models in the renowned PictureMate line, including superior photo quality, economical print costs, long-lasting prints, and powerful image enhancement tools, PictureMate Charm is the ideal solution for printing and sharing cherished memories at home or on the go.

“Photo labs can be inconvenient and don’t always produce great results because they often sacrifice image quality in order to cut costs,” said Stacey Tieu, associate product manager, Consumer Ink Jets, Epson America Inc. “Epson’s PictureMate Charm is the best alternative because it delivers the features that are important to consumers – uncompromised quality and ultimate convenience – allowing them to print superior 4”x6” photos with true-to-life skin tones, amazing detail and sharpness in as fast as 37 seconds1 whenever and where ever they want.”

Whether at home, at a party or traveling on vacation, PictureMate Charm consistently delivers durable, better-than-lab-quality prints that are smudge, scratch and water resistant. The beautiful, true-to-life prints last up to four times longer than traditional, film-processed photos, resisting fading up to 96 years under glass and over 200 years in dark album storage2.

In addition, PictureMate Charm offers easy, one-touch printing with or without a computer. It features a 2.5” LCD screen to view, crop and print photos, as well as remove red eye and select popular photo layouts and color tones such as black and white, sepia or color. PictureMate Charm also prints from all popular memory cards with built-in card slots3, and prints wirelessly from PDAs and digital camera cell phones with an optional Bluetooth® adapter4.

PictureMate Charm delivers affordable prints on glossy and matte paper with Epson’s PictureMate Print Packs, which include ink and either 150 sheets of 4”x6” glossy paper or 100 sheets of 4”x6” matte paper. In addition, an optional, rechargeable battery is available for maximum portability to print photos outdoors or on the road.

With its extreme versatility, PictureMate Charm is also a smart tool for many professional industries, including wedding photographers and medical or dental offices. Its high-quality photo output, long-lasting, durable ink, and ultimate portability allow photographers to instantly provide images to clients at events, while medical professionals can conveniently track a patient’s recovery through before-and-after photos without having to wait for them to be processed at a lab.

Pricing and Availability

PictureMate Charm ($149.99*) will be available on Oct. 20 through a variety of online retail stores and Epson’s retail site, www.epsonstore.com. For more information, please see the PictureMate Charm fact sheet or visit www.Epson.com.
