Epson PictureMate Charm - Great Opinions

By Brianna Tokita


With the PictureMate Charm, Epson continues to make use of the lunchbox-like portable style that was effective with its PictureMate Dash and PictureMate Zoom printers. The PictureMate Charm is a bit smaller and a small lighter than the two older goods. The PictureMate Charm also uses a smaller 2.5-inch LCD rather of the 3.6-inch LCDs in the PictureMate Dash and PictureMate Zoom.

The epson picturemate charm prints only 4 by 6 inch pictures and has a maximum print resolution of 5760 by 1440 dots per inch. Based on Epson, the PictureMate Charm can print a photo in 37 seconds and pictures are dry as soon as they are out of the printer. The PictureMate Charm's consumables are sold as PictureMate Print Packs that consist of 150 sheets of either matte or glossy paper and ink for $38.

The PictureMate Charm has memory card slots and assistance for PictBridge so you can print without needing to connect for your Mac. The printer consists of Automobile Photo Correction, which adjusts the color and exposure of the pictures, and there's also red eye correction. The PictureMate Charm also has various layouts, such as proof sheets, wallet size, boarders, and more.

The PictureMate Charm needed anyplace from 54 to 70 seconds to print every of our 4-by-6-inch test prints, but they were worth the wait. It produced flesh tones that looked healthy and regular, it handled both fast-motion and landscape shots with aplomb, and it balanced lights and darks evenly in monochrome pictures. The on-board editing options are restricted to a few layouts, borders, and automated corrections based on image kind (like a night scene or perhaps a landscape). In the event you install the printer on a Computer, you are able to do more using the bundled Easy PhotoPrint application, which provides a wealth of editing, customizing, and printing choices.

The features on this snapshot printer are fundamental but well executed. It features a 20-sheet input tray for just 4-by-6-inch media; by contrast, the HP Photosmart A646 can take three different sizes. Sheets exit onto the flip-out front panel. Inside the front panel you'll discover two media slots for CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SD Card, and XD-Picture Card. A PictBridge port is in back. A Bluetooth option costs $39.

Whenever you insert a media card into the printer, on-screen prompts walk you through the procedure of choosing and adjusting an image before you print it. The 2.5-inch, tiltable color LCD works having a row of eight buttons, all of which are labeled and largely intuitive. It is just a bit difficult to tell how to cancel or back out of an choice occasionally; the Stop/Clear button handles all such matters, but I was searching for a Back button.
